The Effects of Technology on Society

I don't think technology has made people worse or better. I think technology helps expose the true character of all individuals. It has given a chance for those who would have remained in poverty to realize what they can become and become it. It shows the true character of individuals as information flows around the world about what people do with their time and about what decisions they make. Those who rise to the occasion rise, and those who don't rise to the occasion don't fail because they don't realize there is an occasion (as is the case in many instances without technology) but because they they don't want rise to it.

I'm not saying people cannot change, I'm saying that technology doesn't change people. Only one can change one's self.
