technological breakthru
Today we have so much technology and so many ways to communicate with one another. We have the internet and on the internet is the main addiction when it comes to communicating. Theres facebook, ,myspace (which is dead), twitter (which is for stockers in my opinion), FML, and a bunch omore social networks. Theres also aim, skype, and offline on your cellphone you have texting. Is this good or bad? I would say that it is good because it helps us stay connected with the world in a way, keeps us up to date with whats going on whether its important or not. I would lean towards it being mostly very bad. 1, you meet new people yes, but you can never know the persons intenttions, sure you can say avoid them but there are alot of gullible people that trust anyone because they dont want to be mean. 2, all these forms of communication distracts us way too much, I can remember back to a couple of times when I was talking to someone and they either interupt me because of a text message they got, or they weren't listening to what I was saying. 3, most of us when finally we have spare time, instead of going outside and exercising or doing something active, they become lazy and that can be very tiring and depressing to some point. One can argue that its good, but in my opinion its mostly bad.

I agree that the latest technology has us all very distracted...but then again it is teaching us to all be multitaskers who now can preform three times as many tasks in half the time it used to. Faster isn't always better, the faster we move the less we retain or do right the first time. I also agree with the annoyance these gadgets create. I was raised that you look at who's talking to you, as that conversation requires your utmost respect. If I see one more gadget appear at my dinner table by any of my three sidekicks, I swear I am going to see if they float. There is a time and place for toys.
ReplyDeletehaha i had trouble trying to find how to leave a comment and i was writing my post and it didnt post! i got it now.
ReplyDeleteIn my post i said that technology is a positive thing but i also think that it can be a bad thing. Like you said anyone has access to the internet and there are people with bad intentions so one has to be very csreful.I personally dont like to post any pictures of myself (my profiles has no pictures!) but as much as i try other ppl can post pictures. I had a facebook and i hated it because people would post pictures of me i didnt even know they had and they would tag me and others. I recently deactivated facebook it is very popular right now but i dislike it for the lack of privacy. People aren't careful with what they post and i think it is very important to keep your info limited.
