Computing In Architectual Design

Today we live in a country that is fueled by computer technology. Computers and related technology make up a huge part of out lives, more so than any other era. Technology itself has advanced so far in the past decade, we are all eager to see as to what is next. Since our society is one that is based on these ideals, doesn't that make us an unstable society? And haven't we lost important ideals along with it? I feel that with all the advancements of technology we have lost a certain magic about something that is man made or hand done. I feel that technology has its perks of profeciency and the idea of you have everything at your fingertips, and a get it now attitude. In design today, I think technology has hindered aspects as well as improved them. I feel computer technologies have assisted designers in creating work that is profecient and done more quickly. However, I think that with doing most things on-line or with computer aid we loose an important quality in our work. It lacks a sensuality and just a personal touch that, in my opinion, makes your design. In conclusion, I think that design in the future will start to be even more engulfed with the technology era. I think that with doing things more quickly, less thought will be evoked throughout the design process. With design, I think that technology balances on the fence of helpful, and hindering.
