Soon, the future that has dominated literature and imaginations for decades might actually become a reality. Apps now exist to facilitate the apparent need of caffeine by the masses. With the touch of a screen, anyone can order from Starbucks; and ultimately, this reflects the general shift in recent society. However, while this denotes the increase of technological advances, it also correlates the use of technology to the need of coffee and other temporary energy boosts. This in turn seems to imply that as technology advances, it saps more and more energy from individuals. Of course these new conveniences serve to make our lives easier, but maybe it is also causing us to spiral downwards into a never-ending pit of lethargy. If this is the future that is so desired by today's world, then by all means continue on this path. However, following the current path, the future might actually be a little bleaker than usually considered.
