I'm still not a photographer...

It's a good thing my camera is so good at taking pictures!

Do you ever wonder if technology is making us all good at everything? Advances in technology opens up more doors to everyone. Anyone with a camera can take an amazing shot. If it isn't amazing right away, then you can download a program to turn it into something better than it was before. I'm not a photographer. I own a camera and like to play around with different settings. Every once in a while I snap something cool. When I don't, I turn it into something cool, like the shot above. Seriously...before the post work, I was flesh toned in that picture!

Kids are getting smarter younger, athletes are faster and stronger. So much pressure to do things better than the last. Remember when there were less than 30 channels, no one under 35 had a cell phone and the only time you used a computer was to write some god awful school report and it printed on a dot matrix printer? Ahh....those were the days... Now there are over 500 channels (and still nothing to watch), it's practically a crime if someone can't get a hold of you at any given moment and ink jet printers are minimum standard.

I can't complain about technology. If it weren't for technology, I'd just be muttering to myself most of the time, rather than writing on here. I'm pretty sure my job would be a lot lamer and I would have to rely on my own imagination way more. =)

Can we live without technology now? Has it made us weaker or stronger?
