"The First Technological Revolution and Its Lessons"

After reading "The First Technological Revolution and Its Lessons," by Peter Drucker I was very confused at the beginning because it kept talking about irrigation cities and I didn't quite understand what Drucker was trying to say about them. But, then I realized that irrigation cities are what started the "technological revolution." Drucker discussed the fact that technology just keeps expanding and there is always going to be social and political issues when it comes to new advances in technology. If technology continues to advance, I'm sure it will cause more social and political issues, just by the fact that it already causes people to not talk to others and be completely unsocial. Text messaging has become the new rage and talking has gone out the window.

Technology is definitely moving up and it is a little scary to think what the world will be like in the future after seeing all the technology they have come up with so far. New devices keep coming into our stores everyday, like the iPhone, a touch screen computer, newer ipods, and it gets harder and harder to keep up. One has to wonder, what will they come up with next, what will the future hold?
