Darwinism
Technology as it has evolved to be, a large part of our daily lives. Everything in the modern world today involves some form of technologically advanced gadgets or equipment. Today, our cellphone has more computing power as compared to what all of NASA had back in 1969. When it launched two men onto our nearest natural satellite (Kaku 2011).
Whether we like it or not, technology is a monster that human beings created. We envisioned technology to help do our most mundane tasks, to speed things up, to close the gaps in this world. Yet many are trapped in a fix and it has brought about a slew of problems that are unimaginable just half a century ago.
The human race is only slowly grappling with this monster and trying to make sense of it. Navigating this information technology highway no longer need that the user know how to use a computer. It requires more than that. It requires the user to know what is real and what isn’t. As the lines blurred, this task gets harder.
Technology will only evolve to replicate what we fantasize about the physical world. New media is a huge social research, a phase that is here to stay for a while, until the next big thing comes along and alter life as we know it.
