To go off of Preston’s idea how we cannot escape technology in our life, I agree that it is taking over our lives and I fear this. We can’t even buy a cell phone today without being tracked and monitored with every step we take. Employers can track every single email you send and receive. Google Earth has made it possible to zoom in to other’s neighborhoods and private areas. Our pets are now being chipped so we can monitor their every move. Internet companies can follow every webpage you visit while browsing on the intranet. When does technology go from being helpful and productive to invasive and inappropriate?

The Matrix clips we watched in class were a great example of when technology goes too far. Technology became so advanced that it eventually ended society as we know it. Instead of helping mankind to grow and be better, it destroyed it and turned it into a horrible place. Everything became virtual. Humans literally layed down in a cell and were hooked up to virtual gear 24 hours a day. The world had become so horrible that they must escape it all day every day. Are people really human once this happens? Is it even worth living when what you are doing is never REALLY what you are doing?
