Destroying The World

Technology is used on daily basis, but no one seems to notice how it is destroying the world. No one seems to wake up in the morning to read the newspaper. Why pay money or take a nice walk to get a newspaper when it is available online? Our generation is quickly changing the world and the society is becoming more brainwashed every single day. Society wants all they can get quicker with doing less work. Technology may not be as awful as it may seem because even though it’s destroying the world, it can be beneficial in other ways.


When it comes to technology now a days, society wants things done quickly. Google is one of the most visited sites today. Google was founded by Sergey Brin and Larry Page who were in their early twenties. It all started in September 4, 1998. This is the go to site when needing quick and easy research that only takes minutes instead of days looking for. It may sound like the greatest invention in the world, but it is destroying society’s ways of thinking.


By having quick answers to pretty much everything, it is destroying the human brain. The brain is one of the most important organs in the human body. The brain is constantly battling into multitasking more than before. Smartphones is one of the most used gadget that there is. By having technology available, society is always on the phone, texting, searching the web, walking, and doing everything possible all at once.


An article from, The Atlantic, titled, “Is Google Making Us Stupid.” by Nicholas Carr, has also said that his mind is changing. When he says that it’s changing, he means that its working slower, “I’m not thinking the way I used to think. I can feel it most strongly when I’m reading” (Carr 1). Reading has become an issue because lengthy books or pages has become a problem, “Now my concentration often starts to drift after two or three pages” (Carr 1). Using the web often is also making it hard to stay focus on long pieces of writing.


As hard as it may seem to some, health is also being affected as well. Society has become lazy. The Oji-Cree were once people who were always walking miles, no access to any technology. Once they had more technology available to them, “the population suffered massive increase in morbid obesity, heart disease, and Type 2 diabetes” (Tim Wu 1). Social also increase as well leading to drugs, alcohol, and suicide.


Although technology may sound like it the worst thing in the world, it’s just what this generation is about. The more reliable technology that there is, there more ways in finding cures for health issues. Not only is it good for discovering new cures, but also it helps businesses grow. Businesses are able to share databases within each other quicker making their businesses a success. It also helps business to expand and increase its production with technology.


Technology may be destroying the worlds mind, but, “technology wants what life wants” (Tim Wu 1). It can be used in many different ways, it just depends on how a person decides to use it. It will make a person lazy, if they give up on caring for their own health. Of course, society doesn’t want to do research for days if they know they can receive that information by a quick click on a hyperlink. Technology may be controlling the world, keep in mind that, “the problem with technological evolution is that it is under our control and, unfortunately, we dont always make the best decisions” (Tim Wu 3).

Accepting Illegal Immigrants In America

Illegal immigrants have the right to be accepted in America. There are many reasons why they should have the opportunity to live in the United States. American citizens feel that it’s a wrong decision by allowing illegal immigrants to have amnesty because it would create more job opportunities. Regardless of how much more money is going to be needed, illegal immigrants are ready to do work that others refuse. Illegal immigrants have families they wish to be living with as well. When talking about illegal immigrants, it is not necessarily just Mexicans, but immigrants from different ethnicities.

Nicholas Kristof, who is the author of, “Immigration Enriches You and Me,” from The New York Times, mentions that by allowing immigrants will cost less. Since money seems to be one of the many issues in this decision, Kristof says, “We as taxpayers have spent vast sums breaking up families and incarcerating honest men and women who just want to work” (Kristof 3). Illegal immigrants have families who they need to support and do not have money to do so.

Illegal Immigrants come to America simply because they want to live the American Dream. What really is the American Dream? The American Dream is having the freedom to have a better life through hard work and achieving success. Not only is it just about working hard but it is also a persons life to pursue happiness. This is what America is about, but when it comes down to illegal immigrants, America wants to shut them down.

American citizens may also feel that they bring a lot of diseases. Although, this may be true in some cases, but there’s always a solution. There are many ways to prevent this from happening. A former mayor from New York City, “cautions that they bring disease, “wretchedness and want” to America” (Kristof 1). Preventing this from happening is not a problem. Before allowing immigrants to come, it should be mandatory for every single one of them to get blood work done to check for any diseases. Society can not deny every single illegal immigrant because of health issues.

According to Ed Butowsky, who is a writer for Fox News, wrote an article, “We cannot afford amnesty for illegal immigrants.” In his article, its very upsetting to see that his reaction is very careless and rude. His main focus is more on money rather than thinking about the reasons why illegal immigrants want to stay or come to america. “Illegal immigrants, illegal aliens, undocumented workers, there are roughly 11 to 12 million of them” (Butowsky 1). There will always be money issues regardless of illegal immigrants.

Our nation has already been, “in debt of 18 trillion, on which we have to pay interest” (Butowsky 1). If we are in debt as it is, why not allowed illegal immigrants to work with a social security card and also have them pay taxes just like everyone. By provided them with this benefit, it will help getting America out of this debt. This will also increase job opportunities not only for them but for America in general.

President Obama has also agreed to grant amnesty to 5 million illegal immigrants. This is a good start because it will increase any financial issues. American’s who are against this, they know themselves that it will help, “in the last 12 months of our “wonderful” economic recovery,. we have created 2.6 million new jobs” (Butowsky 2). This is not a bad start, now in another year from now, that number is also going to double, perhaps triple from now.

Family is one of the biggest reasons why illegal immigrants are here or want to come. They want what is best for themselves, but most importantly their children. In Mexico, many people can not make the money that they need or even get the right education. Parents also send their kids over here or come themselves to give each other what is best. How can anyone feel great about themselves for not allowing a family to be together?

Illegal immigrants have the right to continue to be here. Let them live the American Dream that America started in the first place. Becoming a citizen shouldn’t be that hard, it’s not like it’s creating another issue. Giving them papers and letting them work so they can also pay taxes is one of the most smartest decision America should do. America is in debt as it is and there will always be problems. By allowing illegal immigrants to stay or come, is just eliminating one issue on the list of many other problems.
