So much work, So little time

Hi Everyone,
This is my first blog post ever! I figured it would about time to start since we need to complete 100 by the end of the semester, but the only thing on my mind right now is all the work I have to do. Its awesome that I dont have class untile 2:20pm but there are so many meetings, assignments, and events that I have to attend before class, then even more meetings after class. I enjoy the meetings and clubs, but it leaves little time to complete al the assignments from classes.
To keep this under vitalism vs. .materialism topic, I think computers, technologies, and all those gadgets are immensely helpful in keeping up with all this work. I receive emails directly to my phone the moment they are received, I can also send emails from my phone, check the internet, and do so many different types of homework through a laptop. I can't imagine how our parents parents did everything we do now back before technology was as big as it is now. Sure some people may say that technology takes away from quality time, but on the contrary, I think it creates more quality time. If I did not have my phone with its capabilities I would not be able to complete club assignments and emails through it and would lose spending time with my girlfriend. Well I should get back to other work now, I will be posting more pics for future blogs.

Night,
Alex Alvarez

Technology = POWER

Technology divides people and countries into different cat orgies. It divides us into rich versus poor especially. The person that has the latest iphone vs someone living in the slums with no cell phone. Also, the countries that do have nuclear weapons vs the countries that don't. Therefore, isn't technology power and an advantage over someone else? The country with the most nuclear weapons "wins" or is the most powerful. And in most cases the person that is computer savvy with excel or blogs will have the advantage getting a job vs. a person who isn't technology savvy, unless they are very experienced in that job field.

The military is always researching and looking for the latest technological advanced weapon. WHY? Because they want the upper hand in battle, the upper hand over all other countries. They want stronger power. The saying is "power corrupts" ... so is technology the root to all evil? NO .. humans make it seem that way though.
