Is technology slowly destroying humanity? With all the advances in technology we, as humans, are forgetting how to actually BE humans. We've made alot of improvements in our society and have come up with brilliant new things, but are all these accomplishments hurting us more than they are helping us? I've found many sources that believe the more we advance in technology the more our humanity is at stake. I agree with this. The human being used to be the most intellegent thing on the planet. And that used to be something to be proud of. Going to college and learning how to be a banker or a stock broker or even something so simple as a "fix it" guy or a cashier were great accomplishments that made us human. With the invention of the computer technology has just gotten more and more intellegent... Far more intellegent than human beings could ever be. This is NOT a good thing. In my position paper I am going to prove that sometimes advanced technology is not helpful to human beings, instead it just aids to our slow destruction. The articles I have found are:
Is Humanity Destined to Self Destruct? -This scholarly google article is about how humans need to adapt to the advances in technology in order to survive.
Technological Innovation Must Be Limited to Protect Humanity -This is an opposing viewpoint which is pretty much explained in the title
Children's Isolation from the Natural World Is a Threat to Their Health -Another opposing viewpoint which states that children who spend their time alone in front of the TV or computer are more likely to contract cultural autism.
Electronic Interaction Is Making Americans Less Literate -This opposing viewpoint was determined from various national surveys about the effects of technology and literacy in college students.
