Technology Addicts

Imagine this... the year is 2014, a time when an actually verbal agreement is no longer needed. A time when you can quickly look up different witty things to say to a girl in an instant. A time when distance does not restrict you from talking or knowing another person. A time to look down and have a face to face conversation with someone across the world. A time to spend your entire paycheck on things made over seas and actually never hold that dollar amount.

Well if you were reading this 20 year's ago, you'd just believe I'm telling fiction. Now this is all happening. Now a person can spend as much as they have to their name just with the swipe of a card, and not to mention your entire identity can be gone in an instant.

Technology is an amazing thing, but what is it really doing? destroying...Yes.. helping.. yes. The man will destroy this planet with what he creates, no i'm not saying the movie "iRobot" will actually happen, but I am saying that the larger we grow the more of a risk we our to ourselves.
We put so much into technology and trust it so much, what will we do when it fails us? The time when we no longer have books, because we all have digital readers. What we will do when our electricity fails? how will we gain knowledge if we do not have a charger?

War is what will happen when technology fails, and who will be the strongest? Most likely it will be the poorest countries because these people did not have the money to indulge and warp their life around technology. The world is growing, and we are running out of space. Whats next? Us as humans having to learn to adapt to aquatic conditions? it is possible. Will we have to reverse Evolution?

The world population is now estimated at  7.165 billion according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Now why is the number of humans growing and growing? technology is the answer. Think about this  in the 1800s the average life span was 40 years of age, Now due to modern technology and medicine the life span is 85 years. This has increased to because of our knowledge of medicine, and Sanitizing. But what don't we know now? There could be a jump in our life span's. We just don't know though, thats what is scary to us. 

Time to Get to Each Billion
	Billions of People On Earth	Year	Time Span
	1 B	1830	50,000 years
	2 B	1930	100 years
	3 B	1960	30 years
	4 B	1975	15 years
	5 B	1989	14 years
	6 B	1999	10 years
	7 B	2011	12 years	The recent rate of increase has slowed due to diminishing birth rates.
	8 B	2025	14 years
	9 B	2045	20 years
	. What could intervene? 1. Starvation - Can we feed 8 billion people? Some say no. 2. Disease Epidemic - SARS, a new bird flu? 3. Nuclear winter - nuclear war, comet, or asteroid? 4. Birth rate change 5. The Earth's poles flip 6. The Apocalypse (religion induced)

So we are now trying to make a dollar, thats the only goal in life right? But have we noticed what we are doing to the earth? The United states is regulated by OSHA, but like any smart business men we will find the way to get around current regulations to make the greater dollar. Thats why we build factories in Countries without Regulations just like China for instance.  We can produce more product at a cheaper cost because of no pollution regulations.  So what are human's doing? Destroying our current world for something that we made up ourselves....money. 

Everyday New technologies come out to aid us in task so we do not have to do the labor we use to. As long as these material objects do not have their own mind and opinion we should be safe..from them taking over our world. But we will never be safe from our own brothers and sisters.
