text: Why do we want to take the fun out of driving and feeling in control, or pay a big price for our computer car malfunctioning? Why do we want to put ourselves in even more danger by making an untrustworthy computer in charge of our lives? A computer car puts our lives at stake, and if a computer car proved to be at fault of a murder, that would also put the car creators in a bad situation. Today, we often depend on technology. From home to school to work, it is now an essential tool in our everyday lives. As the years go by, people are becoming more and more innovative in the ways they're using it. For instance, long distance learning is now being offered as a learning option for students. Although technology has drastically improved since it first became popular, it is important to acknowledge the fact that there are still imperfections that can negatively impact students' school and personal life. Internet crashes, hackers, and lack of social skill are only few of many hardships a long distance learner may face.
