I Completely Forgot About This Until Today; I Hate Technology

So I know I'm a day late on this, but I decided that I might as well do it anyways. I hate technology. I mean sure, I love what it does for me; how my life is infinitely easier and the fact that I'm more knowledgeable as well as worldly with it, but overall I'd say that I despise the many effects of technology.

When I was little, my parents tried to ensure that I used as little technology as possible, and I thank them for that every day. Instead of staring mindlessly at the television screen, playing video games, and doing little but sitting in one place for extended periods of time, I spent my childhood having good, pure fun outside. I developed social skills, an imagination, a knowledge of my environment, a need and love for play, and a taste for the great outdoors. I learned everything from how to trap minnows in the creek behind my house to where the best hide n' seek spots are, and I give all credit to the limited access to technology I had. And now, at 17 years old, I wish that we still didn't have the technology that gives us a lack of basic human relationships.
