Prereading:
Do you believe we process information too fast?
No, at this point in time I like the convenience of our technology. I also get the chance to communicate with may dad who's in afghanistan. Without this technology the communication barrier would be much harder and slower to overcome.

What's you view on technological advancements?
My view is that technological advancements only help our world, the only problem is they aren't equally distributed.
