I chose this topic because it is very interesting to me considering how much I use technology. I think this topic is important and today and for the coming future. I liked how the author gave a sense of realism when you are reading it. He talks about how in today’s age it would be almost impossible to live in a power outage for a decent amount of time and he claims that 50 years ago engineers, stock traders, and designers would be able to keep their jobs rather than it being ruined as it would in today’s technologically advanced society. I was interested in this article because I am reliant on technology for everything including my work so it becomes hard to get rid of it. I noticed I felt like it became more of a necessity for me rather than a useful tool. In a power outage I never know what do to and I feel lost and it feels like forever without technology. I am still trying to remove technology from my life but it is becoming harder and harder and it might become impossible with the way things are going.
