Fast like lightning (grease lightning)

Technology has made our lives pass by before our eyes and we don’t even know it. We are the generation that goes to concerts and records the whole thing on snapchat and don’t get to enjoy the actual show. Everything we want is in our hands in 2 seconds and gets us used to having everything right away. Even things like food, we want it fast. Like when someone posts something and gets upset or deletes it because it’s been 5 minutes and no one has liked it (guilty). Technology of course has its positives like allowing us to do things on the go, or communicate with certain people, or GPS/calling/etc.  We spend our time watching people and things on snapchat and IG that we’re using that time of our lives and wasting it. We get used to things like auto correct and become lazy, which I believe makes us more reliant on technology and overall dumber. Life passes by so fast, media makes it faster. We get news from across the world almost instantly, which is an example of how this has a good side. There is so much to do, and it feels like we have no time even though it’s always been the same 24 hours we’ve always had. But instead we spend it checking (stalking) our friends, strangers, celebrities, checking our mail, texting/calling/etc.  I can feel a difference in my day and even happiness when I am not messing with technology and just enjoying my day. Unfortunately, this isn’t the realistic version of the world we live in today.
