Technology

Technology is dirty and ugly. Nothing but a mess and doesn't help mother nature.

I agree and disagree because there is always a pro and con in almost everything. The advantages are you being able to do things faster and more efficient. The disadvantages are the fact it can be distracting, useless and mindless. The technology that I use almost everyday is I take the light rail to school and my iPod for music. I don't think I can go a day without music. But if I really try I'm pretty sure I can go technology free for a day.
