One of my biggest fears is that science and technology will take over the world. Soon we won't know the difference between a face to face interaction and one over the internet or phone. I'm afraid that our social skills will diminish, and that all we will care about is the newest ipod coming out or a amazing advance in science that will only make us more lazy. That is one of my other fears, people becoming lazy.
Everyone is looking to get things done faster and make life easier, and soon we will forget the importance of taking the time to take the dog for a walk or knock on a friends door who you haven't seen in a while. It is possible that our culture, especially teenagers, could lose intelligence by either being on facebook and always having the newest gadgets on hand. We are becoming less intelligent because we are buying and using these products while the creators of these products are becoming smarter by thinking up new ideas in science. We are at risk and don't even realize that our addiction to science and impossible magic is slowly posioning our brains. On the other hand, my greatest hope for science is that we advance in a positive way, like discover a better way to recylce and perserve what we have left of the enviorment.
