hola senioritas,
One thing that i always wonder is why people say "technology will one day destroy us" so what? we're supposed to stop evolution? My freinds tell me that some things aren't evolution, but just plain greediness. And this is where i can't argue. There are so many greedy people out thier who will stop at nothing to make things that they know may be potentionally harmfull for the love of money. But then i realise that these people must have families and parents to support and put roofs over. And because of my own pro's and con's i wonder wether i will be one of those people. If i will be a greedy retailer only wanting money, or the person on the other side giving into this seduction. I'm not gonna lie i love my ipod. Yeah, it's like a psp and mp3 in one but it's amazing. Recently i heard of the chinese workers who make them and how little they are paid for extensive hours of work. It breaks my heart to see this happen to them, but am i (we) ready to stop using these things? Cuz at the same time they are overworked for little money, isn't it better then being unemployed with no money? Pros and cons people.
my class recently(not so recently) had a debate on the oil spill we are enduring and i am actually proud of my self. i was against oil companies running the economy and it really opened my eyes to ALL the horrible things we are doing to the environment. One kid on the oposing side stated "why are we so hung up on this? there's global warming out there, earthquakes, the aftermaths of them and we're crying over an oil spill? the necessary people will pay, and yes, eventually we all may. but why is everyone forgetting about the haiti crisis? the chile? the phillipiness?" and this kid had me thinking. i told him "yes, all these things are happening and i agree. but the thing is, this oil spill could've been prevented. im not blaming the workers or any of the people who have to do with it. but couldn't it have been prevented? is there no such thing as off shore drilling? we are losing animals and their habitats. i belive ALL these crisis' are horrible but there are somethings you have a hand over (littering, oil precautions etc.,) and other things you never know will strike (natural disasters)" and now im realising that our world is being punished for our carelessness. if we didnt take so much from the earth maybe greenhouse gases wouldnt even be here. if we werent so carless about where we dispense our garbage, maybe the hole in the ozone wouldnt be here. why must we do this?

I couldn't agree with u more. we all love technology, and we can;t go on without it, but what's the point of using technology for everything? the only thing that leads to is laziness, and a whole lot of fat. Plus, you can't just shrug off littering, etc by saying things like "a little candy wrapper wont make a difference." or things like "global warming has already started, so what's the point?" but the truth is that every little bit counts for something, and if u add it to the grand total, it makes a huge difference. Why can't people be a little more considerate, and a not lazy and just throw the trash in the garbage/ recycling bin? I was on facebook, doing some stupid quiz thing, and the question was, what would you be in the next life or something. and i was like, "a famous person, so ppl would follow my example of recycling." :D it's important, though and although ppl know this, htey dont act upon it.
