The article "The end of geography or the explosion of place" was the most difficult for me to get a grasp on out of the articles we have read so far. The author posed 3 ways technology was being used and how it effected society as a whole. Overall, what I took away from all 3 arguments was that technology was going to take over and the physical world would not be the same. Something that I thought was ignored was the human factor of the world. Technology has made advances and will continue to make advances but at the end of the day I believe humans will have the final say on how much the technology affects their life. The question that I posed to myself after reading this is: Is technology making us lose our human instincts and nature? If so will we be wholly satisfied by technology one day? To me this is questioning what I brought up earlier, is technology taking over our human nature? I don't believe that technology will take over the world and space to the extant to which the author outlines in this article. I believe man kind and technology will co-evolve like the author talks about, and one or the other will not take over, but they will work together to forge a better future. This article brought up too many extremes in my mind to really seem feasible and realistic. Technology is evolving quickly but so is man kind. Humans are the ones making the technology so I believe they will be able to keep control of the world and not get overrun by their own technology, but live with it.
