In my English 100 class we discussed the topic of living off
the grid or plugged in. I may live off
the grid in some ways, such as not having a Facebook, but I am still plugged
into society. I live with technology
like an IPod and Computer. Most people
in our society live plugged in. I believe
living plugged in is taking part in anything in mainstream society. Many people believe they could live a life
off the grid, without their technology but they couldn’t go a minute without
their cell phone or IPod. I think
living off the grid is an interesting Ideal, but I think it is difficult in today’s
society. People who try to live off the
sometimes fail because in today’s society it might require giving up your possessions
and living in the wilderness. I believe
there are ways to live somewhat off the grid as well as plugged in. There
are ways to be self-sufficient as well as taking part in society.
I agree with you. Today people are addicted to their technology. I know I feel secure when I know my phone is by my side, but I see people who are constantly on it and aren't aware of their surroundings. I feel like with the advancement of technology it will be almost impossible to completley go off the grid because of this generations new addiction.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you bro. People rely way too much on their tech devices. I use the because they are necessary but would do just fine without them. I would just write my family members once a week to let them know I'm okay, out just visit them. I live of the grid as much as I can.
