I have been given an assignment to talk about three inventions that have changed our world and made history. I could go with the obivious answer to this question and talk about the combustable engine, the internet, or even the first computers, but as much as I belive those are very important things to our lives and the way we live today, thats not what im going to talk about. I am going to talk about the current inventions that are going on today.
As technology advances, so do we, and as do our methods and perspectives on how to do things. This brings us to the first invention i'm goin to talk about. Last month I was up late flipping through the channels on the t.v. as I heard something and turned back to listen. In our medical feild they have discovered a new way of treating people with severe C.O.P.D. (a very severe cronic respitory condition) that is said to help breathing up to 100%. In the process they take a small romote control machine and run it to the pathway to your lungs, where it stretches the scarred and clogged area returing your breathing to normal. In the test that they have done everyone who has done the proceger's breathing has impoved. Just imagine, with technology advancing like it is today, soon we will have the cures to desises such as cancer and diabettes.
Now I'd like to shift the conversation over to the technology that we're using in cars today. We allready have cars that dont run on gas, park themselves, and incase your anything like me, can still "get up and go" to say the least. Yesterday i saw a comercial for a car that even senced when someone was in your blindspot. I belive one day, and one day soon, we will have cars that will drive us wherever it is we want to go. The taxi driver will become obsolete. As good as this all sounds, I also think this could be a bad thing for our country as well. With obesity rates going up every day in America, what would we do if we didn't have to do any exercise for ourselves at all? We are allready for the most part very unhealthy people, technology like that could ruin America.
I have one last thing to talk about, then I will let you go. As technology advances we endanger ourselves, instead of studing things like space exploration, wich President Obama set his mind to stop yesterday, we keep advancing in military weapons. We hire brilliant people to build us bombs, when we allready have plenty of neucler weapns. I belive that instead of that we should hire the brilliant scientist to work on things like cures for cancer. This all is my personal opinion of course, but i'd like you to think about it. The United States of America has all of the potentional in the world, imagine where we'll be in twenty years.
