The rapid growth of technology today is on an on-going rampage. We now have more gadgets and gizmos than we possibly need. Today’s generation would find it very difficult if not impossible to function with out the technology of computers, calculators, cell phones, etc. Learning the entire technology and computer lingo maybe overwhelming to those who have not grown up with it, some may even argue that it is ridiculous and even more of a problem.
