BLOG #2


My relationship with technology is advanced than some, I would say I am digital native because I do use technology in my everyday life. When I leave the house in the morning I always have my phone on me for communication or even directions. When I am at home or at school I have my laptop that I am always using. I feel that adapting to technology can be hard for some people. For example, I grew up with technology growing and I was able to learn and grow. While others have to learn when they already know different ways to look at things than using technology.

The video opened my eyes and how people have created this amazing technology. Google will have to be my favorite tool to use on the internet. People always have to remember that not everything on the internet is true because anyone can contribute a “fact” in the internet for everyone to read. People in this day in age growing up will never know what an overhead projector is and the “struggle” people had without technology. Everything today is fast pace and still growing. I feel as though in a few years people will be all technology and no one will know how to hand write or even add math in their head. In a way this is sad because we are so technology dependent.

  1. I agree I am the same way! Every morning I check my phone and do the same routine. I think its easier for us to adapt to the changes in technology. Now I always have my phone with me or my laptop, and couldn't imagine not using technology as often as I do now.

  2. I think this sentence you wrote is interesting: [perhaps] no one will know how to hand write or even add math in their head. In a way this is sad because we are so technology dependent. I wonder if someone two centuries ago might have said the same thing about the newer generation not knowing how to make their own candles, or soap. In what ways do "new technologies" - including the specialization of making soap -- free us all up to do other things?
