- Technology is faster than most methods of doing anything.
- Playing video games using ipods and cell phones is a lot more fun these days than playing outside.
- All the adults around them are using technology therefore they want to use it.
- They can find out about anything they want on the Internet
- All of their friends are playing the latest games, listening to the most recent music on their phones and we all know that if all the other kids are doing you they want to too.
- One the women on the clip talked about how she hates it when people e-mail her or write her and use Internet lingo such as u = you or abbreviations such as omg for oh my gosh. This is also a pet peeve of mine. I cannot stand it when people us omg and besties in sentences when they are talking. This lingo is meant for texting, instant messaging and e-mail not for everyday conversations.
Do you agree that having instant access to everything via the Internet helps you to know yourself better? why or why not?
- I disagree. I don't think it helps me to know myself better but it definitely helps me know other people better. Now that e-mail and facebook and twitter we can know everything about everyone. Google is also and explosion of knowledge in and of itself. If anyone wants to know anything all they need to do is "google" it.
Do you agree that technology helps pave the way to move forward as a civilization? why or why not?
- God would not have given us technology if he did not intend for us to use it so yes I believe that technology is moving our civilization in the right direction. We are becoming more knowledgeable! While at the same time technology is causing us to have less and less face to face communication. The people in our civilization are loosing touch with each other. It is sad but true
