Oddworld Technology

Hello everyone. What do you think of modern technology? Do you think we are developing things too fast and what do you think the future holds. Also what technology do you like and what technology would you like to see. There might be some strange and weird ideas from people about what they would like to be invented.

I like technology, I think that there are lots of great things around now days like computers and games and high quality TV. There is too much to list. I do not know what we would do without these things but I think they were not used to such in the past so they knew their lives as they lived them. In the future I would like to see games that are interactive, like more virtual reality and maybe spaceships so we can go to other planets.

I think technology is corrupting the human race.

"Why do you have to quote others when you can quote yourself?" (Quote by me)
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God.
You see things, and you say 'why'. But i dream things that never were and i say 'why not'.

I think technology is a strange thing... Sometimes I have these visions that I would be so different if it weren't for technology... But most of the time I thank it, becuase I'm really crap at sport, and without technology, I wouldn't have any talents...

It's a question I am somewhat divided on. On one hand I like computers and games, etc. If it wasn't for the computer I may not have have met my boyfriend. And also my work is computer related. But sometimes the computer keeps me from being more active, so I really want to try and make an effort to take on some activities that are away from the computer.

Also, technology is really getting to a place where it is either taking over or is being installed in areas where it is not appropriate. Like those internet fridges really go to show how lazy society can be if they allow you to order your groceries! And cars with computerized components are really more problems than they are worse, as you can't fix them yourself (if you know something about mechanics), but worse than that if something small goes on the dashboard for instance, it costs a fortune to get it repaired as the whole dashboard may need to be replaced.

Some technology too has ruined our environment like factories and other things like that. I don't agree with any technology that sacrifices the environment or animals.

I think we really need to be careful with the advancement of technology. Already in this century we have come further than any other century, and we need to make sure we don't let it go out of hand. Sure some people may think it's good to have gadgets and that to do things for them, but just don't let it go to a place where we as humans suffer the consequences. We shouldn't become too dependant on technology, as if we were to be put in a survival situation we would need to go without it.

What are you talking about??? I have never had a face lift in my life!!! And I dont intend on having one.. ever! I was simply refering to the fact that if we didnt have computers, then I would be spending more time outside, exersizing instead of going on the internet...

Right... Sure... Whatever... I haven't even celebrated Halloween!!! I didnt know it had passed... has it?
