Chapter 16 gets into depth with technology and how it affects consumer culture. It puzzles me how beneficial technology is to not only day to day interactions between people but also the benefits it has to large corporations to increase their own profits. I’m curious as to how this phenomenon has come about. And will this increasing trend in relying on technology make Americans lazier? I believe that technology is very beneficial to Americans today in both a positive and negative way. It is a good tool that can be used to help yourself and others but at the same time it can be used to take money out of peoples pockets and put them into large corporations which I believe is wrong.
