Just as I was posting about how innovative technology has become and how much I love my Pinterest app, a breaking news bulletin was sent to my phone. During a car chase, the subject drove to a secluded area in a vehicle that he had carjacked, got out, stumbled around, and shot himself in the head. Unfortunately, a news chopper was overhead and the news team wasn't quick enough to stop the broadcast of the shooting before it appeared on live television.
This is a tragic instance of how terrible the use of technology can truly be. I find that I am upset by these events, but not nearly as upset as I should be. The amount of technology that we are exposed to each day and violence and death depicted in front of us has almost made me numb to events such as this. It doesn't phase me nearly as much as it should.
