The greatest illusionist of all times is called:TECHNOLOGY......

In reality technology is responsible for the well being of all of us. Thanks to that we have improved medical care which saves lives,and laboratories which decover a vaccines,and cures to deseases and sickneses. It so nice that we can talk on the phone with relatives on the other end of the world,and now even recently its posible to see them via our PC desktops. The world is changing and improving for the better of human kind. We embrase all of the gadgets we can lay hands on on way or another. I like all my gadgets. They make me partialy happy untill i get bored with them,and so i start looking for new one. Technology gives us many things,and one of them is temporary satisfaction,which will come to pass with the replacement of newer and maybe better tecnology.All of this is the circle of the consumarism machine which is made for one purpouse:to make more gadgets and more money for someone,not you and me.
After all i love my gadgets.Its good to have cell phone,laptop,gps,PC,Car,PSP2 or 3.When we have all of this or some of this we think we are happy or atleast we dont think we are unhappy,which is an illusion. It is a good illusion,because i dont know what is the other way of not making us to feel unhappy or shortly to make us happy,without technology. Our days technology is so big,so huge that we have a subgect at uni to study a almoust new culture in the human history and that is technoculture. Technocultue started with the discoveries of the sientist throught the centuries,but realy exploaded when TV was introduced to the public.Later was the VHS,Walkmen,CD player,PC,Internat,DVD,I-pod,mobile phones,gps. The products of human inteligence is producing a new human culture, which is trying to understand how and why we are so interested in technology and how the technology is effecting our lives. Thank god that human being is so adaptable because lets say if all the technology is gone,what will happens? We will adapt that is for sure.I guess tahts why we always find a way to rebuild what was lost. I assume that in order a person to function properly without stress and problems,that person needs to be happy or atleast not to be unhappy which the same depends how you look at it. So in order someone to be happy technology plays a huge part our days. For example:electricity,water,Tv,transport,infrastructure,helth sistem,education,communication,and especialy military which is responcible for every techno-gadget we se at the shop.The military has something to do with every smart technology we use ourdays,because what we use is recicled military old technology,or atleast part of it.However the association we make most of the time with the word illusion is the word majic not the word practical trick,or very smart or sophisticated mechanism for bliding our visual ability to discover the truth. For that technology has the gold medal,because we know that is a trick.we dont know how it works,but we like it and part of us will watch the trick again is because the ability to imagine different scenarious to figure it out how it work,or jus because of curiocity or entertainment.
