In thinking about an assignment I have in English and wondering what I was going to write about regarding to technology's advances. I started to ponder why we rely so much on technology in situation where with a closer look simply seem illogical. Just the other day I decided to drive to the parking garage ( five minute walk from where I live) instead of walk to class. In doing this, I knowingly risked getting a ticket as well as not finding a spot and waisting gas. In thinking about the situation, it just seems to be frankly a dumb decision. I am not out of shape, It doesn't save any time, and the weather is nice. And I know many others who do the same thing in similar situations.

Are we really becoming this lazy and impatient? I decided to randomly ask ten people if they would choose to drive to a friends house that was two blocks away or walk, 8 of the 10 said they would drive. The reasoning? It is faster and takes less energy. I urge everyone to try to walk somewhere that they would normally drive to and just see if it makes a huge difference in the long run, because in my experience it hasn't.
