How technology is part of my career path

My major at Penn State is in Information Sciences and Technology, so this class and specifically technology is definitely going to be a part of my career path. Technology and the endless possibilities that computers have are changing and evolving every day, so learning the history of computers and forecasting where they are going is what is talked about in my IST classes nearly every day. We as a society are becoming more and more dependent on computers and technology in general, so even if I wasn't going into this field I would be somehow affected by it in several portions of the day. For example, everything is computerized now, every individual in the united states are numbered by social security, along with bank records, date of birth, extended family members, etc. If computers were to crash worldwide along with other technologies that are so in-grained into our society, what would happen? Utilities such as plumbing, power, etc are all computerized, so even if you had an occupation that had nothing to do with technology, you would be directly affected. So as you can see, technology is part of us now- we can't escape it, so we may as well learn to live with it and thrive with it. And I'll be helping those with science and technology through my career path, hopefully.
