For example, there are many people they don’t even know how to use the computer but as long as they get a job, they will learn how to use it.

Although I find that true, I still like reading a newspaper the old fashioned way, I like to hand write my notes and homework, read actual books, and go see a movie at the movie theater. Because of technology, our social relationships have changed dramatically. We'd rather text than actually talk to someone. There are people who could be in the same house or even room and text each other, instead of getting up to talk that person. We've become very complacent over time, as well as lazy. We are constantly trying to find ways to make tasks easier. This causes the world to be less of problem

If you were to ask somebody what a computer was sixty years ago they would look at you look at you puzzled. Now days it is hard to find a household or office in America that does not contain at least one personal computer. With all of this information at our finger tips, we have to ask ourselves if we are becoming too dependent on technology. Imagine if we were to wake up tomorrow with all electronic devices disabled. Everybody’s life would be impacted in one way or another. We would lose what has become the largest portal for communication. We would also lose countless information that has

At the beginning of this course leisure was a topic I did not give much thought to and I felt like I did not have the time to spare to put much thought into. To me, all leisure meant was having free time to do whatever it is that I wanted to do. But after analyzing my life I noticed that I had surrounded my life with solely work and school and my “free time” was anytime I spent watching television and anytime I slept.

The “time” in which Kraus
