We rely on technology nowadays to do simple tasks for us like dry our hair, research answers on the web, and watch television for entertainment and for the news. Technology is being over used for very simple things, what if we relied on them too much as a whole for us to forget doing simple task?

The words "Pitbull" or "Mastiff" or even "Rottweiler" can often cause the ordinary to pull up their lip, or to gasp. Many times I use the word "Pitbull" and an immediate response is something along the lines of "aggressive dogs" or "dangerous animals", but I've never believed that to be the case.
