Entry #3: Technology

      What is technology? Looking back ten years ago, I can remember my flip phone which seems like an old phone now. The first flip phone I had I remember they called it double O-7 because it had a button on the side and when you pushed it the phone would open up on it's own. It was pretty neat, at the time. Now I probably wouldn't give it a second look. I am sure many of us have experienced this. Back then I was just so excited to have a phone and having internet on it wasn't necessary at the time. Texting was in and everyone was doing it. Since then our phones have been updated with better looks and faster speeds. Now we can be on the web almost everywhere we go. We're able to stay current with the world and what's going on in it.

TO GO FROM THIS TO.............

 

       Technology has truly changed my life! I'm serious!! It's helped me become a vegan. I know that sounds silly but so true. Growing up I never really thought about or question how we came upon meat products and how we had so many choices. My mother had always assured me that eating meat was apart of life and an important part of our diet. We needed it to survive, so she said.

       Now I know otherwise. I don't even have to really search the web anymore, I can just go to Facebook. I follow Mercy for Animals. A group of vegans who give recipe tips and encourage those to give up meat but most importantly they expose the meat and dairy industry for what it really is. A sad and greedy industry full of abuse, disease and lies, lies, lies!!!!!! By using technology, I was able to learn about this cruel industry and change my diet. I may be only one person but I believe cutting meat out of my diet I can help save a cow, chicken, even a little fishy.

     Ten years ago I wouldn't have known that this was going on. With technology today I can stay up to date on what's going on in this industry and if any changes are being made. I can look all over the world and I can now research everything much faster than before. For me technology has benefited my health and my way of life but for other people technology might benefited them and their specific needs. For example, my brother loves Netflix and stays on top of all of his shows that he has missed. He is also a big YouTube fan. I've also used YouTube to watch videos of cruelty and even my daughter uses YouTube to watch educational videos from time to time. It's amazing what is out there now and how much we're able to know.

TECHNOLOGY IS LIFE CHANGING
