After looking at all of the articles as a whole I would have to agree with what Jimmy has said and would also like to add that I think that is sad how reliant we have become on technology. When there is a cell phone tower down people freak out like it is Armageddon. It just makes one thing, is it possible that our society as a whole has become so technologically advanced that we can not function without the use of what we consider everyday technology such as a computer, cell phone, blackberry?--Sean Marren | After looking at all of the articles as a whole I would have to agree with what Jimmy has said and would also like to add that I think that is sad how reliant we have become on technology.

| + | After reading all the articles I thought about them in an idea together. I focused, in my mind, on the olden way of thinking to get something done. In Alexander Hamilton's essay "Report on Manufactures" he stressed how he wanted the US to adopt the idea of an industrious economy and lists the benefits. In the essay " Native American Technology" Karen Kupperman says the growth of a nation depends on technology, and yet goes onto say the natives were not industrious and were prosperous. I liked reading the old-time thoughts of the people from the time before the industrial revolution, before technology became the obsession. I realize people are always inventing the 'new and improved' model and have been forever, but in the 19th Century is where the 'obsession' took off to the entire nation, which is what influences us now. -- Maggie Wroe | ||
