Blog Post #5

For my last blog, I would like to discuss how vanity and technology have become a sick and twisted combination. Do you know how easy it is so acquire plastic surgery? Although it may be expensive, only recently have they passed laws requiring plastic surgeons to prescribe psych evaluations for their patients before they go under the knife. We have taken technology and used it to improve ourselves, but not for the better. Instead, we are becoming more alike, more standardized, and more prone to superficialness. Boob jobs, nose jobs, even reconstruction of the genitalia has become EXTREMELY popular. I find it hard to imagine waking up one morning and deciding you don't like the look of your vagina anymore, and deciding to get it fixed. Researchers say this is mostly due to the public view of men and women, particularly in porn, to be the perfect being. This is yet again another example of humans tampering beyond whats needs to be, and technology is right their aiding their way to our demise.
