As a youth growing up in the 21st century, I must say that technology of any kind are the greatest invention on this Earth. We all know everything is a two way street, but recent events have made me realise that the creation of internet, camera hand phones and of course, the television is a great way to open up to secret disputes and make the world more aware.

I always believe in the freedom of speech, of human rights and preservation. In my humble opinion, I feel that technology can show the world 'wrong doings' of any kind, and allow one to speak out and reach the world. Sure it may cause disputes (the tragic death of the Iranian girl is one such example), but it allows us to understand what is happening around us.

I am, however, not blind of the consequences of technology, especially with pornography at such easy access. Nevertheless, technology has opened a whole new world of communication and has made people open their eyes. Thus, I feel it will be suffocating if one is ever to ban/control the internet or technology in general.

Imagine the boredom without facebook, youtube videos or even blogs. I shudder to think the day I'm unable to fangirl over my favourite idols.
