Good or Bad?

Sadly this is going to be my last blog post so I wanted to take the time to do a bit of a recap and kind of wrap everything up. I have gone back and forth when talking about apps and sometimes the articles I write portray apps in positive light but a lot of time the articles are being critical of apps and how they are changing society. If you read my blog you would likely think that I had a very negative view of apps and just sprinkled in something positive to maintain people reading who are interested in the positive side of apps. However, if you thought this you would be wrong.
Yes many of the things I foresee coming from the app revolution are very negative. For instance I don't see it good in anyway that people are relying less on their minds and more on a phone equipped with apps to tell them well just about everything they need to know. Thinking like anything else takes practice and if you stop practicing you will lose some of your abilities over time. With this being said it makes sense that relying on a set of apps for all of your answers instead of thinking and memorizing things yourself can't be good. But despite this I still feel that apps are a good thing.
Yes apps that are possibly having many negative affects on society a good thing. The apps are good just like nuclear energy and many other technologies that can have negative effects on culture and the world. The problem is not the technology itself but rather how people who have the technology at disposal use it. There are many things that can be helped by apps for instance if you are lost and need directions using a map app would be very wise but it gets out of hand when people rely on the apps just because they are lazy and not because they actually need them. When it becomes more of a hassle to use the app and you are doing it anyway just so you don't have to think that is where the problem arises. So apps are great and there are many great apps it is just how you use them don't be the guy who uses the app just because he has it rather use your apps wisely and make the most of them when you need them and when you don't well leave the phone in your pocket you are giving a great technology a bad name if you don't.
