Technology is advancing faster now than it ever has before in the history of mankind, and it is continuing to get exponentially faster. As a side effect, it is my personal belief that people have not had the opportunity to properly adjust to groundbreaking technologies, like the internet and social media. As we are now, I think that our relationship with technology is astronomically helpful and has become a necessity, but I also think that this lack of human adaptation is harmful. But it is also my belief that we are living in a very special junction in human history, where our youth are growing up in a world that has been heavily integrated with technology while the older generations that grew up without this technology have the difficult task of monitoring and regulating these technologies when they do not have as much of an in depth understanding of it as the youth. And to me, that is where the problem lies, because this gap is a opportunity that many people can take advantage of to prey on others while our current generation of leaders are failing to recognize the issues this gap presents, and failing to properly safeguard the people using these new technologies. But it is also my belief that when it is time for the youth to take over positions of leadership within our country, they will be able to recognize and close this gap, better regulate new technologies, and create a healthy relationship between humans and technology.
