Can we live without technology in today’s world? I think that is impossible. Our lives are connected to technology more than we thought, there are many things that make are lives easier and faster. For example the computer allows us to communicate with people all around the world, and that apply specially for me because my family live in another country, and I use the computer to communicate not just with my family, but with my friends. I used technology a lot every single day, and I can say that my life is so involved with technology, since I wake up I am using technology, such us the alarm clock, my CD player, light, and many other things. It is so amazing how much are lives have changed in the last years, technology has improved are lives a lot, making are world more comfortable.
We do not need a lot of the things that technology gives us, and in most of the cases technology become a luxury for us, something that we want to have just because it is getting popularity, such as IPods and other devices. But in some cases technology is necessary and really useful in our lives, the best example for this is education, in today’s education world technology especially computers are necessary to accomplish and success in college.
There are many devices, which I cannot live without them, such as phone, CD player, TV, and transportation. Since I came to this country I started to use technology more than ever in my life, I had always tried to be away from technology just because I did not consider it necessary, but my family is far away and through technology I can be connected with them all the time, I can know what it is going on in my country and talk to my friends a lot. That is how I found technology really helpful and important in my life.
Technology is one of the things that have connection with popular culture, connection that I found really deep. Technology is all around us and we can find it in every single thing. We use technology to make movies, to listen to music, to fly, to communicate, to create things, and to make cloth. As you can see we find it in all of the icons of popular culture, through technology

we make possible popular culture, technology help popular culture to success and pass generation to generation having access to it no matter how much time has passed.
Technology in some ways controls our lives and it is our job to become aware of that, and start to give to technology the use that we are suppose to give it, with knowledge and not just for luxury.
