We Become the Conrollers.

Competition in the technological world is becoming tougher and tougher. One company produces one thing; and the other must continuously try to out do them, and produce something better. It's all about money, and they are becoming greedy to be the best in the gamer world. Though they might not realize what they are doing to our society.
In my opinion the more we advance technology the more we advance laziness and obesity. The new 'x-box kinect' is a perfect example of what I am trying to bring forth. It is extremely useful to not have a remote to have to search or have to continuously have to change the batteries in your controllers, instead, we become the controller. A simple hand gesture will show us a variety of different channels and games. It's effective, simple and extremely lazy. We are proving that it's okay to not get off the couch, why would you if all you had to use was your hand gestures or your voice?
Sure, advancing technology is a excellent thing, and will only help us grow, but how is this advancement effecting us, and the upcoming generations? What happens to those of us with computer based jobs? How is all this advancement going to affect them? If we asked the creator's of these new games if they have thought what they are doing to the work world, what would they say? How would they answer all these questions, Would they be able to explain themselves?
