The Technological World
Technology is much more elaborative than anyone can think of. Julian Dibbell, the author of the Introduction to The Best Technology Writing 2010, is exactly right about everything he said. I truly believe that technology goes that far back in time and even the paper that has some ink printed on it is part of the technological world. He just says it so perfectly. He even goes back in time of the ancient Egypt myths and brings back Thamus and Theuth who were the Gods that invented writing. This was just a thought of how technology first started and how far it goes back. I agree with him 100% when he stated "But again, as in every previous year, the non digital stories are a distinct minority". This is very true because people are much more attached to their technological devices and every year they come out with newer ones and more and more individuals become interested. Its all about having the latest and best technology nowadays. Julian Dibbell did a good job introducing technology by going back to the ancient Egypt myths. I would also like to point out a part of the article where he talks about the technology that people love, but not just for the looks and just to be better than anyone else but "something quieter and deeper, beyond ideology or faith or any expectation of a payout". Many people do actually feel this way, and its the technological device that keeps them happy and more intelligent. If it was not for all this technology, people would be going through some tough times because many people cannot go through a day without being on their laptops or smartphones. They are just so attached to them. Life is hard without technology.
