What if someone asked you if you could go without technology for a week? What would be your response? I would ask when would I have to start? As of right now I could go without technology however it would be extremely difficult with school work. If someone asked during the summer months then I would gladly do it. I don't know about most people but I heavily rely on technology when it comes to getting my homework done. I would not take time out of my day to go to the library for answers to a question. during the summer I rarely use technology though. What can you define as technology? Is my car technology? Is the air condition unit technology? Is my cable television technology? All of those things are what I mainly use during the summer months. Is it possible for me to go without them? The television and the air condition, sure I could go without them but, not my car. I use my car to get back and forth to work everyday and without it, it would be a struggle getting through this farm land. Technology makes life simple for some people and creates chaos for others. Technology shouldn't create problems for one person and if you're that one person then maybe you should go a week without it....
As technology advances so will the ways of people taking advantage of it. I agree with the 3D printing perspective, however it should only be used for medical or business reasons. You should not be able to buy a 3D for home use. It should be for creating limbs for a war veteran not for some designer shoes. If marketed for home use will it be cheap? In my opinion the manufacture would most likely sell it at a high price. Also this would hurt small business's that rely on the consumer coming in and buying these small items. Why would you leave your home if you could just create the product you want in your living room. What would stop a boy from printing a gun out and bringing it to school and doing harm? To sum this up, I am for it if it is going to help sick or injured members of society only and not for it the being able to print shoes.
