"Everything's Amazing but Nobody's Happy"

I do agree with Louis C.K about his views on technology. Despite all the technology around us, we are still not satisfied. Technology advances at such a fast rate to keep up with our never ending demands. Every year there are constantly new inventions being made by people to make human life faster and easier. Whenever technology fails us, like when our iPod is not working properly or when our computer lags, we get disappointed or angry that it is not working properly not keeping in mind that these things were not even invented during our parents time.

One day, I was researching on Global Warming on the internet for my history essay and my dad said that during his time, they had to go to the library and read all these books to do their research. It would take them hours just to get the information they needed, but now, we have this thing called "google" and BOOM... research done. I do not agree completely with Louis C.K because I myself, however, am happy with all the technology around me. I am satisfied with the advances made by technology and I am very happy about it.

I agree with you, I like technology; I definitely would not want to have to read through 50 books to write an essay, let alone leave my house and go to the library. However I don't think Louis C.K. is trying to say that technology is bad, I think he's just trying to make a point about how ungrateful people are; people just don't realize how life saving technology is until they get stuck without it.
