Nathan Bloom: 8 December 2009
I recently watched the Bruce Willis film "Live Free or Die Hard" which is a fictional story about a man who takes over the country using a series of complicated computer hacks. Although it is not real, it still gets you thinking about modern society. Today our world is filled with computers and things run by computers and the internet is available in nearly every country with a very large variety of different devices. Do we rely to much on computers to run everything? we are so technology based as a society that computer literacy has become mandatory to get by. What about the Amish? Yes, they function in there own society but stay mostly separate from the rest of the world. If they were to attempt to intermingle they would be completely lost; as if someone had used a time machine to go to the future. Computers run our lives, without them our society would be lost and in utter chaos. It just makes you stop and think. For example, we all remember Y2k; everyone freaked out because they knew without computers it would be as if the world ended and that was 9 years ago. Where does that leave us? We have only become more reliant on computers and technology as time progresses.
