Am I worth more than my laptop?
Without my computer, I'm incapable of completing school assignments; remembering contact information and scheduling my time. The influence my computer has on my life is huge. Without it, according to the education system, I'm worth an F. If we believe in everything the ecosystem of technology teaches us, the worth of a man can be measured in bits. The truth is that the worth of men cannot be measured by a computer. The best things in life are not found in the zeroes and ones, they come as we invest time in people. Computers are intended as a means to an end. We should be concerned with the legacy we leave behind, not the data.

It's quite interesting to think of how much we rely on computers now. For some of us, most of our life is based from a computer.
ReplyDeleteAfter a long week of coding for school and work, the last thing I want to do is mess around on my computer. Most people can't live without their hardware so when the power goes down or we lose our laptop or phone, it's like someone chopped off our arm. Maybe we are too dependent on technology. Thanks for making me think.
