Conveniences

As humans, we are always looking for things that make our lives easier and once we find them, we find it hard to let them go. Decades ago, people didn’t have calculators to solve their math problems. They actually had to do all the equations and work by hand, as unbelievable as it sounds. A decade ago, people didn’t have Iphones. Imagine a life without smart phones? Conveniences such as these make our lives much easier. As stated before, calculators have simplified the way we do math and have reduced the headaches students get in math class. Computers now account for everything that we do. They tally what stores sell on a daily basis, they allow us to shop from the comfort of our own home, and they allow us to stay connected with people who live away from us or reconnect with those we haven’t seen in awhile. Facebook and Twitter have truly revolutionized the way we communicate with each other because they allow us to do this. Smart phones have now combined the convenience of computers with that of phones. We can now carry our computers in our pockets and take care of any sort of business that we need to without having to find a local computer. Although these conveniences are great, we are becoming too depended on them. How many of you have freaked out when you realized you didn’t have your phone or that it was uncharged? Or how many times have you thought you could get absolutely nothing done when you didn’t have Internet on your computer? We can do so much more than we give ourselves credit for. We need to remember how productive and ingenious we were before these conveniences took over our lives.
