The progression of technology has always been a battle between new and old; often making our life so much simpler that we fear we will forget how to complete simple problems and basic lessons. We were constantly reminded in math class that we would not always have a calculator. But when we were told this, our teachers didn't know we would have that, plus the internet and thousands of songs easily fit in our pocket. Meet the iPhone. With the world's fastest 3G network, you can take a picture. Which can be sent to Google Earth to figure out where you are. Plus a built in compass. Only on AT&T. . . can you be this ignorant. Our teachers were right, but they were also terribly mistaken. We are now allowed to forget useful and common knowledge because it is so easily accessible. We rely on external sources to provide our knowledge because no one minds looking something up for thirty seconds to be correct. This is also due to the quantity of information people are expected to know. Through social networking, news everywhere you turn, and magazines about TV based on real life, we need to have our quick bits of information we try to piece together easily obtainable. When life was simpler, technology didn't need to be as advanced as it does in today's world.
