With only a few days left in this year, we can all agree that we are not up to date on technology. It is almost 2018 and there is still so much that our day and age lacks. Didn't you think that we would have flying cars by now? But no. Our world has wasted time and money creating fidget spinners. We have fidget spinners, but not flying cars...

I am so confused as to how the human brain works when trying to think of new innovations. At least 19 million dollars have been spent on purchasing fidget spinners since April 2017. We can spend 19 million dollars on a piece of plastic, but we can't invest on new technology that is actually up to date and relevant to this century. SMH.

Here are all the things still wrong with our world at the end of 2017:

1. McDonald's ice cream machines still do not work.

2. We still do not know who killed Tupac, but we are still keeping up with the Kardashians.

3. Chipotle still does not deliver.

4. We still do not know what came first, the chicken or the egg.

5. The intelligence to figure out the difference between "reply" and "reply all" in an email.

6. Not knowing the difference between their, there and they're.

7. The technology of preventing a person from taking a screenshot and sending it to the same person.

8. We do not have flying cars, but we have fidget spinners.

9. We can't translate what dogs are barking, but we have iPhone's that recognize your face.

10. Trees that can grow money.

11. College books are still not free, but we are paying at least $10,000 for tuition.

12. It took over 20 years for Selena Quintanilla Perez to earn a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but we have a memorial for Harambe.

13. We still have people friendzoning, like when Drake confessed his love for Rihanna on stage at the VMAs and she was like “haha thanks” and then gave him a kiss on the cheek.

14. We still do not have a cure for asthma, but you can purchase an old lady using an inhaler wall decal.

15. People are out here struggling to make a dollar, but people can get famous in a video for not moving during the Mannequin Challenge.

16. No one believes in staying together anymore — Brad & Angelina, Fifth Harmony, One Direction...

17. We can't eliminate mosquitoes from our world, but giraffes are becoming extinct.

Let's all cross our fingers and hope that the technology, innovations, and inventions can improve in 2018. If we can spend 19 million dollars on a piece of plastic that spins on our finger, then I think we can invest our time and money into other ideas that might actually change the world, positively.
