What Would I Un-invent?


   Nowadays advances in technology have brought people several convenient devices. However, I feel tired of using technological devices because sometimes I overuse them. If I could “un-invent” one in the world, I would choose the computer. I cannot live without the computer thought.

   I use a computer every day and every time. I think the computer is highly addictive to me. One day I vacuumed in my room, and accidentally my cell phone recharger was sucked into the vacuum while I wasn’t paying attention. I feel so angry about my carelessness. Also, I thought I want to press ‘Ctrl + z’ keys to undo my action. It’s a funny idea, but I felt I am addicted to the computer. Frequently, I think that I want to press shortcut keys to my real action. Computers makes human life much more convenient. No one can deny the fact, but sometimes the computer makes me think too simple. This may be because I can easily save, delete, and restore my work on the computer. 

   Also, I have fewer conversation with people in person. When I need to talk to someone, I just send email or text message. However, people could misunderstand my email and text message because they don't know my intention and feeling correctly. Even though I know personally conversation is important and effective to keep relationship, I choose conversation through computer due to its convenience. Unless the computer disappear suddenly, I would not give up this convenience.

   Absolutely, I do not want to un-invent the computer. I cannot live a single day without the computer. I just miss my sensitivity and diligence.
