Globalization

From when I was a little girl up until now, I've seen so many changes over the years. Ours ways of living have become so much more advanced. Growing up in the middle of no where, I was surrounded by nothing but cows, goats ,and trees. We weren't even to get AOL out at my house until around 2002. I never thought in just a few short years I would have access to so much more than just a lame email account and myspace.
The areas that I have seen major advancement in are automobiles, cell phones, and computers. Well I guess cell phones in these days are considered tiny computers. They're just so advanced! When I was a kid, I thought the little plastic cell phones with lipgloss in them were the coolest things ever! Just the other my 4 year old niece told me her daddy took her Ipad because she had been naughty. My mind was blown. I think these advancements in technology are beneficial in a lot of ways but can also at times be hindering.And the fact that there are cars now that can park themselves and  drive for you is so cool! I think its awesome that we have the capability to cash our checks just by taking a picture of it through an app and BAM! I think theses advancements in technology are amazing but I also think we should always remember how life was before all these nifty gadgets were around so that we may appreciate how far we have come as a culture.
