Technology

Technology has changed our lives completely. A major part for the good but also for the bad. The documentary Catfish is an example of it. It proven to us that we can not trust anyone anymore. Trust for the most part is becoming rare. A lot of people are afraid and imagine that society has become polluted because of the technology we have. The problem is not the technology the problem is the people. Immediately suspected that something wasn't right but apparently the main character din't realize it; right away I knew something was wrong. His situation was not fictional because that is happening everyday around the world. There are people out there wanting to cause harm to another person via internet. If you don't think twice of the things you see and find on internet than your life will become very complicated. We need to wake up.

We need first of all ignore all of the stupids ideas we find in Facebook or any other social network because they are for the most part inaccurately. Yet, a majority of people get influenced very easily. An example is someone posting a picture of a baby with cancer or any other fatal disease and begging for a likes because apparently that is the solution. So, there we have millions of people giving it a Like because that is how is going to get cure. In the other hand, Facebook relationships. People are not meeting there love of their life in a screen. If relationships tend to be complicated when the couple knows each other person in real life, imagine how complicated will be to have a relationship with someone who may not even exist. But some people are too innocent and fall for it as it was shown in Catfish.  It din't took me more than 5-10 minutes into the movie to realize that something din't square. 

The other problem is; why have we become dependent on social networks. Facebook was not even created for what has become today. It was created to interchange factual and important knowledge that could help a student at a university. Who cares about if you are hungry?? Or that you have the best relationship in the world?? Some people need to change how they use technology. Scientist, Engineers, and Mathematicians, with less than 1 GB computer were able to send the first person to the moon, imagine what they could of done with the technology we have today.
