Technology has become a part of everyday society. Technology exists to either be solutions to problems that mankind faces, or to supplement existing solutions. I think that many of the great world powers citizen take for granted the benefits they receive due to the amount of technology in those nations.
   For the most part technology is focused on helping people. This can be to help people communicate with each other with use of satellites, cell phones, video chat, and the internet to stay in touch in minutes, when it took weeks or months before the aforementioned  technology came about. New medical machines and technology has improved the lifespan of people from around 40 years old to around 80 years old, as while as help people survive from various injuries.
   Overall, I think that technology has really improved people's lives for the better. While there is some bad technologies out there, like nuclear weaponry, and many people get addicted to some technologies, the mainstream of technology is around to help solve problems that everybody faces.

Recently I've gotten involved with an interesting game called Dreamlords. This game is a combination of Real-time strategy and an Massively Multiplayer online games. It caught my attention when I was surfing the web for some interesting things to read, and the idea that I could mange many aspects of the game on a Web browser and the theme has me hooked. overall the game is pretty good, and the staff are constantly releasing events for players and creating new items for us, the players, to use in game. The game has play sessions called eras, now each ear lasts two months in time. At the start of each era we choose one of three races to play, each race is the same except for advantages they have for specifics like some have better defense values, while others have better speed and melee value. We build an empire during each era and fight the monsters of different areas to claim territory for our civilizations. Players can cooperate with each by joining guilds called convergences to play for Player-VS-Player lands for bonuses for our guild. once an era ends we start over again the next era, but some items like gear for our Dreamlord Avatars are persistent over each era, one of the most important items are traits. Traits are the skills tree for Dreamlords and they give bonuses we can use, to get traits we must progress our empires in each era, thus the more eras players play through the more powerful our dreamlords and their empires become. I think that this is an interesting game to try out since its free and people can play at their own pace, which is one thing I love most about the game.
