Where do I begin?!?!? Technology is a huge factor in my life. My cell phone is in my pocket or within arms reach at all times, unless I am substituting. If I do not have my phone with me, I feel lost. It’s pretty pathetic I know but I also know that I am not the only person who feels this way. My iPhone is my minicomputer that fits in my pocket. I have a communication device, a camera, and a computer all easily accessible. I am also pretty connected to my laptop. I am always online looking something up or typing papers. I love being able to bring my laptop to various places to type papers. On a nice day, I will sit outback and type up school work, or even take it downstairs when I don’t feel like sitting in my room. Technology is definitely a huge growing part of society and I cannot wait to see what else the future of our technology brings.

I think it depends on which type of technology we are talking about here as a distraction.I think Facebook on the computer while a teacher is trying to give instructions on a research paper is distracting but, I think the internet had an immense amount of great resources for students to use instead of searching through books.If a test is being given and someone’s cell phone goes off in the middle of the test, yes that is a great distraction but what if someone gets a flat tire and needs to call for help, they simply pick up their cell phone and calls to request help, to me that is not a distraction but it is simply how our technology has grown over years that it is such a convenience to pick up a phone and dial a number.
I feel that I was born before technology became so widespread but I have grown and adapted to how important technology is to us.I love the fact that technology has become so wide spread making it a lot easier to get things completed and find resources with a few clicks of the mouse.I sometimes still prefer talking on the phone over text messaging my friends.I think a card from the store is a lot more personal than someone saying Happy Birthday through a Facebook comment.There are some of the old-fashioned things that I still do but they seem to become more obsolete as the years pass.I can see our younger generations are so into technology it does not seem like they would be able to survive without their
videogames and their iPods.I have witnessed young kids totally glued to their televisions playing video games for hours on end.I was no that type growing up, I had books to read, or I was forced to go outside and play, not stay cooped up in the house all day.But this is the society that we have grown to accept, and I feel as if it will continue to progress more and more at a very rapid pace. |
