Journal - What do you love about the "digital age" that we currently live in? What do you dislike about it? What are positives ways you use technology in your life? What are some things that come along with technology that you don't like? Explain.
I really like the way that you can keep in touch with those who love you anytime of the day. Calling and texting provides people the chance to continuously talk to one another, (or text) and it makes it very simple. Technology has its advantages and disadvantages, but without it I feel like life in today's society would become very difficult. Communication has been made so easy as to just use the tip of your fingers to send a quick message, thought, etc,. to all your friends. I dislike that after you talk to someone through text for such a long time, it then becomes harder to talk to that person in person, unless you know the person really well. I feel like technology is the new form of the 'hand shake', where people will shoot a stranger a text to get to know them instead of going up and introducing themselves. I use technology to keep in touch with friends, family, etc,. and it helps me keep in touch with those that are far away from me too. I use technology to help guide me to different places, using my GPS, and I also use it to communicate and write papers for school. The internet is an amazing tool for quick answers to a question. Although not always reliable the internet is definitely a convenience. Some things that come along with technology that I dislike would be that people can abuse it very easily. When you are texting someone they can easily lie to you, put you down, or act fake because you cannot see their face or who they are with, they can also take pictures of maybe secret things that you thought would stay within the two of you. Technology serves a great purpose for everyday life, but sometimes that purpose gets mistreated, or misunderstood.
