Honestly, I'm glad we have ipods and DVDs and all these new technogical advancements, but in some ways I'm not glad about these. What happened to easy living and doing things yourselves? Our lives are becoming too technology dependent.

Anyways, read this story. It will change your life.

yes I'm scared of futuristic stuff and silver things.

what's your opinion on futuristic stuff?

    I think I like this thread the most, I will never buy an IPOD for just this reason. and the cell phones you see today.
    7 year olds with real PC laptops. FISHER PRICE digital cameras.

    Playing HALO for 72 hrs, (somebody realy did that by the way, and died right in his living room!!)

    I stoped playing VGs about a couple of years ago. I like to criuse in my vehicle a not stay home as much.

    I know youve seen this classic vid or heard it somewhere.

      Aside fropm the internet and my reluctant use of Windows XP, I'm a pretty low-tech guy already. By choice.

          I DO like the GPS systems, they work so well, and they ther are somewhat a life saver. I dont know about ON STAR though.

          We need to stop at the I-PHONE though, im seious.

          I think the more complex cell phones are, the worse the risk of Invasion of privacy.

          Oh and how I miss those "1-800-collect" ads.

              I major in Computer Science so I plan on having a career dealing with technology. I love it. I hope to one day work on the advancement of technology and be a part of something like that. I just love creating new things.

                  Ok, once I got through the bad spelling and improper grammer of the article, I found it interesting. The children relied so much on the house for every thing, that they didn't really see a need for their parents.

                  So, did the parents die at the end of the article? It was kind of confusing.

                  Thanks

                    GPS Systems are awesome, you can never get lost with one of those :D

                    and onstar rules

                    with all this said, if we're not careful and let the robots take over the jobs, that'll put us into the second great depression REAL fast.
