Is technology a gift, or a slow ticking time-bomb?? *wonders*

Tech lets you write stuffs you dun usually talk about, brings the world closer together than you ever realise (look at Facebook), allows one to befriend other "ones" easily.. Tech opens up a wide resource of knowledge, speeds up research, make what was once impossible possible, cures diseases, etc...

BUT tech also masks intentions and feelings, secludes oneself from the world (XBox360, PS3), makes one dwell in his own VR, indirectly causes insensitivity and violence, gives youngsters a quick shortcut into the "adult" world, create killing machines, are the main cause of mass destruction, causes environmental degradation (mass killing too..), etc...

My tutor told us yday that we're now in the silicon age, juz like how in the past we've bronze age and stone age.. But guess wat?? This silicon age is ending soon.. Researchers predicted that it will end by the year 2020.. And many are now searching for something better to help mankind keep growing.. As what people say, change is the only constant in life.. Its hard to disagree right??

But does it mean that the world is going to end soon?? I think so.. Imagine if some geeky scientist actually discovers something greater and produces GUNDAMs.. In real life mind you.. Its gonna be the end!! End Times man!! Better be careful, for you dunno wats coming up... We're gonna be slaves of technology!!! AHHHH!!!!
