Technology Limits Our Choices

You have the power to say anything you desire.
Without any consequence.

They beauty of it is that you don't have anyone's face to stop you.
It's kind of scary.

I feel like I've grown up not being able to say things to people because I can just do it through technology.

You can't tell somebody that you hate them. No no no no no, that is what technology is for. You can't tell someone you love them. Why? You can just do it through technology. You can't ask someone to hang out because technology can do it for you! It's like we are scared to do and say things because we've never done it unless through a screen. Everything I ever write on this blog, in speeches, anywhere, I would usually be too shy to say in person. It's kind of back with the whole society thing. We're afraid to say things because we are afraid of the aftermath.

I think as a society we've created a safety net for ourselves. Not wanting to witness what happens if you make a mistake or say something bad in person.

I'm not going to lie, it is scary trying to say things you usually do over text in person. There's something terrifying about actually seeing someone's face. But if you think about it, we're all too scared to say things so if one person does then will it really matter?
No.
They'll probably be praised for their bravery and ways with words. Even if they're terrible at talking and coming up with meaningful ideas. Nobody else is, so there is nobody to compare to.

I am probably the only 13 year old with a negative view on technology but it's true. Most people don't realize the negative effects of it because they are too blinded by the positive.

So I challenge you all to say something that you would generally never say in person. To speak your mind and say something risky.

Be brave.
