It seems hard to imagine computers that can act like humans, but also probably was hard to believe that computers and the Internet would become part of everyone's lives in the year 1960. Technology is developing at a rapid pace, and it can yield many benefits toward the economy and our social lives. The biggest benefit is making life easier, but that can also be a negative aspect. People these days are becoming lazier because of advancing technology, and starting at an early age, too. Advances in technology could end up taking the human element out of all that we do, and soon our lives may completely be taken over by technology. Some people may think that this is a good thing, while others realize that this may also be a bad thing.
