Observation #21

Almost all modes of communication want to extract the most efficient and entertaining tools from the media. Even our transportation devices, such as cars, have cashed in on this find. With new developments and devices in the music area, as well as television and phones, cars have implemented all the necessary technology to advance the age of digitalization. New cars have sync features for mp3s and IPods, phones, along with GPS systems, that all have voice activated technology. Many cars also have technology for televisions and DVD systems. Although I love the new innovative technology, I dislike the fact that they are a distraction from the road. The time spent in a car should be enjoyable, but if taken too far, as with most things, it will go downhill. Drivers are already detached from the road with their phones, add another appealing item to the list of technology and you have a wreck on your hands. One of my friends was too close to being hit by a distracted driver while she was running, and later in the week a pedestrian was hit by a texting driver. My question is how far will technology go before it becomes destructive instead of instructive or entertaining?
