Why are new technolgies useless (and bad)

[commander fury]

Here's a little, very little essay I have wrote about this...

Yes, new technologies are useless.And even bad.Totally.Yes, they DO make our life easier, but what is the point of having an easier life ? Most of them are accelerating the time : Cell phones, tablets, etc...It do give us the opportunity to have all fastly, right now, now and now, faster and faster.But when we think about it, having a faster life is...What it is ? It is a lost of time.Think of all you could do walking your way to the newspaper dealer instead of reading it on your smartphone, think of all you could do and see along the way of the post office, think of all the excitement you'll have when you'll open a long and interesting letter from your friend instead of opening each second a badly-wrotten and tasteless message ? So it, in fact, make our life boring at hell.And also, make us spend more money.It creates us useless needs made out iof scrap by commercials, and I have all the experience I can have to write that; I do not personally own any new technology...And I have a normal life.

Commericals, and more globally the ultra-capitalism and extreme society of consume do sell us these things, and always add something to it.But it is really worth to buy a new iPad Mini when you already got an iPhone ? Just for a new screen and image quality, just for -1 pound of weight ? That's useless, but commericals do package us to think that every thing they produce are useful ! But in fact they are not ! They do just add things that exist somewhere else.Incorporating the internet in the phone, wtf ? You can go to the cybercafé and then it's okay, or simply wait till you get home.Book reading system ? Also more wtf.It do break your eyes, and you don't have that semi-orgasmic pleasure of turning the pages.There is not the good smell of the papersheet book.And a normal book don't take a large place than a tablet...It's even more easy to read a book in the street or in the train, because a tablet can very easily cease to work, break, or just be stolen by a stealt.

And now let's talk about this.Apple, for exemple (Because it's not the only brand) do put a new technology out every year.To force us to buy it, they add to it useless or phony little things, with alot of ads for it.The majority of people fall in the trap, but the other one wil anyways be forced to buy a new one.A very serious bunch of untouchables scientists that knows alot about mechanics and technology published an study about this.Result : Pratically every brand do nowadays make in osrt that the last technology sold by them breaks after 2 years of use, or less, along with the guarantee - In other terms, it breaks once the guarantee is over and then make you spend money on the new thing they put out of the sotres, making you spend money for sometimes the exact same produce, exept of 1GB more of datas and -1 pound in total weight.That is very easy to discover, but alot of people odn't because the mass of the people are packaged to trust, always, the brands.

But now that all the phones/smartphones/tabs brands do make these things for even less than 5 years old kids, it can package them since the youngest age to use and trust that brand, the youngest age yes, when the brain is the most receptive to all datas transmitted.It is, first, an ethic problem, but then imagine some terrorists or dar government take control of that, and spend an invinsible message to all these little minds addicted to screens ? That's the same with teenagers, that are, of course, less receptive than babies but also do collect alot of very hardly removeable informations and habits, but then with all these screens and obiquitous technologies, they are transmitted bad habits (Like having a bad vocabulary, grammar) and sometimes are falling in deep pits that are now made to capture them ! Let's just say, for exemple, packaging, extremism of all kinds, and porn.

If these arguments did not convinced you already, then I have another one : The environment, OUR problem..Where do you think all these wasted CDs, BLUERAY readers will go ? Where all these wasted phones, tablets, smartphones and screens, TVs, are going ? IN THE NATURE ! The nature, our mother, our planet.It pollute it (Rust, toxic gases that goes in groundwater and make us ill after), it kills or endanger animals (Debricts can be chew, mercury and plastic, etc...).And then the phones and WiFi waves are also disturbing their system like it does on us !!! It disturbs the sleeping and eating system, and, in other terms, burns your brain, your gray matter, at each seconds you stay near them.In the pocket, it can castrate.In the bag, it can make for womens something going in the milk, for the baby(ies), and when a woman is pregnant, then it can haves very bad effects for babies.


So you see all these problems ? All these ethic, medical, ecologic, economic problems are finally caused by only one and only thing : Technology.Not that rockets sent in the Universe, or medical treatments, technology, cures and all these useful techs are causing, no, just a special cast of techs : These created by brands that are not useful at all and can even something be bad for you and the planet : Phones, smartphones, tabs, readers, and further more, nowadays, alot of TVs, CDs and BLUERAY readers (That infact don't bring anything more than CDs).
So TAKE AN ACT against that, and boycott these technologies, also, tell your friends, and make them read my essay (Or any other that goes in the same way) ! Make it move ! While being numbered, we can actually DO something !

Thanks for reading,

I don't consider computer as a new technology.
Birth date ~ 1960.
But if it is, then I tell you that's the only one I use along TV.
I'll make some town-speech like this later when I grow up and have a more charismatic face...

Hold on, the next part is coming tomorrow.

Perhaps the computer is not, but Windows is.

I actually do walk to a post office and look at stuff that's happening in my town so dont tell me I should do it.

[deadalive200]

See, I've always been one for advancements, not against.

As SuperNova said, I still do go out, ask people and talk to people, Though I also work in Politics so thats just what I do

Advancements are just what make up Humanity, No matter how much any of us may wish we could go back, We never will, Its not the human way.
We will keep on going, Till we reach the stars and there is a New New New New New New New New New York on some weird green planet and we are all speaking with our minds.

And you know what, I hope I can see that day

Looked at the title.... Laughed my ass off.
Don't ask me why just read it.

[Nicdel]

Why do english you're not?

[commander fury]

I don't say advancement is bad.I should have precised about wich kind of technology I'm talking about.

Ofc, satelites, planes, boats, rockets that we launch to the mighty Space, medical and technical advancement is good, even very good !

What I highly critize is the fact that commercials and capitalist system along with consume society is exploiting these technologies in a bad way, in a way so that we can find 'em useful, but in reality, they're not.That is what I critize.

@Nova : I do start to really like you.Good that you go sometimes to the post office and out ! Because most of the teenagers in my region aren't...Don't take it bad, I have never told you what to do .I am just explaining why I am against these kind of new technologies.Whatever, I got really surprised by your reaction to me when you told me you were going to the post office, etc...Really good.I can only wish you'll continue !

Hmm...

Your 'essays' are just telling us to make life harder. Technology wont go back in time boy. If new technology gives us c00l a55 Iph0nes then so be it. There's no way you can stop advancements like that. Its like back then when people who thought the earth revolves around the sun would be punished they were right even though people were against it. Sorry but all types off new technology useless or extremely helpful will be made.
Rly.. trying to put copyright on dat essay...... weeeeeeeeeeeeeelyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I do hope you're jocking.
So even in front of all these arguments - Ethic, pollution, economy - You still say no to my point of view ? You say it will only make us go further, wrong.With a perverted new generation and an ultra-polluted earth I doubt we'll go very far.

Your own view, we can have our.

Your own view, we can have our.

Actually, most of the things I have stated, about ethic, ecology and economy problems are true.
These are facts.
