Humans Being Brainwashed by Technology

Over two million years ago ancient humans had to use complex hunting skills and techniques to kill off: antelopes, gazelles,wildebeest, and other large animals. Hunters were accompanied by aggressive and standing dogs. They also used bows, pipe bows, fruits, and traps to attract the animals. Wu says,“ Nowadays, we can go to our near grocery store for food”, if hungry. Wu argues that electronic devices has had a major impact and has changed the way we live rather than biological evolution. To make his point clear Wu is saying that Technology is recreating people as human beans, controlling our minds, and changing our lifestyle.Wu says, technology has made Americans lazy in our society while Nicholas Carr article “ Google Making Us Stupid? “ argues how technology has affected our ability to comprehend and concentrate reading books. Technology has changed our minds, survival skills, our and the way we think and how communicate with one another. Both Carr and Wu are credible authors, they share causes and effects of technology.

Wu's tone is educated, professional, concerned, and sarcasm . Wu sounds sarcastic when he says, " Assuming that we really are evolving as we wear or inhabit more technological prosthetics-like ever smarter phones, helpful glasses, and brainy cars- here's the big question: Will that type of evolution take us in a desirable directions, as we usually assume biological evolution does?" Wu saying that our society is trying to trick Americans by replacing biological evolution with Technology devices and making Americans think that we are evolving.

The author, Tim Wu, is a reliable source because he is a scholar of the media and technology industries, so he's educated and knowledgeable about this issue at hand.Wu also was named one of Harvard University's 100 most influential lawyer. He wrote a book called the Master Switch which was one of the best books in 2010.

Wu also says, researchers like wired founder Kevin Kelly writes a book called " Technology wants what life wants", basically saying wants to expand and grow their devices by making it everything an ordinary American need and want to survive everyday. Many Americans in this country are not active anymore and it affecting their health Wu mentioned the Oji-Cree theory , and stated, people in the nineteen-forties were educated and aware of the absence of mental mental breakdown or substance abuse because the choice of food they ate. Also Wu states, that many people thought "walked up to 100 km/day" was common. Wu also stated, that people from the 20th century used other ways to be mobile like to use "snowmobiles"verses " outboard engines" for transportation. Wu also discussed another one of Oji-Cree theory says, that because of new technology Americans has suffered from heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and it also talks about social issues regarding the new technology which is: idleness, alcoholism, suicide, and addiction is at a high rate because of technology. also uses words and phrases like “21st century” and “rugged.” In Carr article he stated how technology has made us too lazy to read a book because the internet is so convenient to find information nowadays..

In our country the new technology has affected us our health and minds. It's sad that the new generation can not focus or comprehend a book because our society has taught Americans how to skim a book rather than break it down piece by piece. Also the new technology has affected our health. Americans lack being active and excise, since we as a country waste so much time on iPods, video games, computers and cell phones. Technology has affected Americans in a terrible way and if we don't stop our bad habits there will be no future for us.

Being Sold a Dream

           These people we know as illegal immigrants, illegal aliens, undocumented workers, and person living without legal permission is a big threat to hard working people in this country. Illegal immigration is still and always have been a major issue in the United States ; we as Americans are trying to find ways to keep people from other countries out  of North America. The United states is a country full of dreams and opportunity  which  many illegal immigrants come to America  for a better life, however illegal immigrants are seen as threats to us,control our mind mentally,and created enemies and taxes revenues for  our county. Americans believe that having illegal aliens here will prevent  legal citizens from getting work and created competition. Most low-skilled and hard-working Americans fear that immigrants will replace them and take their jobs because they are just as a hard-working people as American, but immigrants have an advantage over a ordinary citizen, they will work long hard for less money.

         We as Americans feel that living in the United States as a citizen should be earned and seen as a privilege. Many Americans think that illegal immigrants should  be able to adapt and survive our culture in order to have similar privileges and rights as a citizen of the United States  by law, " Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country" stated Kristof. Illegal immigrants come to the United States for jobs so that will be able to take care of their families back home. Most illegal immigrants marry citizens here in America be exposed to our lifestyle , most of them live in poverty neighborhoods and don't have the same resources and rights that Americans have as a citizens Buttock says, " there are roughly around 11 to 12 million illegal immigrants in our country. American see illegal immigrants as a burden to our country; they are limiting jobs opportunities and not growing with the business economy. Our country became very wealthy by using the monopoly method and creating new jobs for citizens to climb the cooperation ladder we we have lacked in the last five years because Americans have struggle to keep illegal immigrants out this country. President Obama mentioned that it was his duty to find all of the undocumented immigrants before it is too late, " Every day that I wait we're misallocating resources." Americans feel that it is very important that we stop illegal immigrants from trespassing and taking over our country.

         Illegal immigrants can have controlled over how we think as Americans and mess up our beliefs, morals, and values. In this country we are a mixed culture and Unique people have different religions such as; Christianity, Muslims , Catholics Baptist, and Athens. Many Americans have different culture background and celebrate different traditions based off of race like American celebrate Christmas ,Halloween, and lent day. We as Americans enjoy celebrating traditions with our family, and citizens think that if too many illegal come in to this country that might change Americans think as individuals Kristof referred to the term "traditional fabric."

        In our society money is the key to being able to survive in America. Many ordinary citizens in work hard to provide for their families and creating Amnesty will start a war between Americans and illegal immigrants, especially if minorities are affected by it financially. Illegal immigrants cost us 24,000 dollars a year and 5 billion dollars  to find them Butowsky stated.
