Balance

Technology has saved many, many lives in the medical realm. Ultrasounds, X-rays, vaccinations...

Technology has improved traveling. Unlike the pioneers, we don't have to travel for months to get from one side of the US to the other, and half of us don't die on the way, either... :)

We don't have to wait for months, or even years to hear our loved ones' voices or to send them a letter because technology has made phones, Skype, chats, and a reliable mail system possible.

But now, we rate people by their Facebook following, or how we looked by what we see on Pinterest or Instagram.

We don't go outside and talk face to face anymore, and our only friends are laptop screens and phones.

There's got to be a balance to technology; technology is not bad by any stretch of the imagination. But how we use technology can be harmful to us, and others as well.
