Technology I know and technology that scares me

   Technology is something constantly changing and expanding around us. While some forms of technology are used on a daily basis, other forms of technology can seem foreign and strange to many people. We may not be able to understand how to use a lot of technology, but it all influences and builds on the world around us.
 
     Personally, I use simple forms of technology every day. Things such as iphones, tablets, internet browsers such as chrome or firefox, are forms of technology that I and many people have access to at almost all points of the day. Things such as social media which is accessible on different forms of technology (iphones, laptops, etc.) are forms of technology that people are connected with and exposed to daily. However, other forms of technology such as Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Excel, and Adobe Photoshop are programs I am familiar and comfortable with and use often. These help a lot with schoolwork, and pretty simple to get the hang of.
     However, other forms of technology seem really confusing to me. 3D printing, and electrical circuits, are just two examples of forms of technology that seem amazing to me, but are things that I don't fully understand how to handle or create with myself. 3D printing is an amazing form of technology that is not only cool, but can help millions of people and animals with its abilities. Making something amazing with a 3D printer that can help something is a process that I may not fully understand, but really has an impact on our world.
     Technology has the ability to connect us, help us learn, build our world, and so many more things. As the technology in our world expands, so do the possibilities that it holds within it. When thinking about where people were with technology even just 20 years ago (ex. newness of the internet), it's incredible to think how we will advance with coming years in the future.
