Wishard, Caught Between the Ages

Reading this chapter was very interesting to me. To start, I’m all for technology and these next decades are going to have amazing advancements in that realm. I myself love technology. I’m a gamer and I own 3 VR sets. I also think for society; what VR is doing and can do for many people outside of gaming is beyond amazing and exciting. Technology such as Tesla, and self driving cars, which one day I hope to own. As I kept reading I also am an adventurer and traveler. I want to visit every place on this earth if possible- especially places such as Asian and India. I think their beliefs and roots in tradition that they still follow today is fascinating. And gives their cultures so much meaning. As nations and individuals their identies are deeply rooted in these belief systems; which is something we don’t really value here in the west; it really is beautiful. But also thanks to globalization, and the internet, I am able to travel to most places and have people speak some English. I hve learned but enough words and phrases to get me by and be respectful to the people and cultures I visit. So being one who loves the advancements we’re making but also the tradition and connection we have to the past I am definitely  caught between the ages.
