Week Six Reading Reaction #3

I am fearful that out improvement in this world will soon only be judged by how fast our computers and phones can download music or the latest bit of data. It seems to me that we are more interested in measuring "progress" through speed rather than through achievement of thought. I think that much of the progress that is given to technological improvements take away the process of gradually improving ourselves in a capacity that improves our minds. I think that too much technological engagement risks our ability to think because the processes which once required each of us to think, reflect and consider the next step afterwards, allowed each of us to be engaged in thought continuously. Now, that technology has replaced most of the thinking, I do not feel that society has replaced these processes with anything but a greater capacity to be lazy, demanding and to have a sense of over privilege.
