1. Name five reasons young people want to use technology.
~Young people want to use technology because it enhance their access things they are interested in learning
~Allows them to express their creativity.
~Connect with people throughout the world.
~Is a stressful outlet
~ Enhances ways of learning
2. Did you identify with any of the young people in the clip? Why?
~There are times when I identify with the young people in the clip. Technology is such a critical part of today's society however in my opinion it takes away from truly getting to know people when that is your only mode of communication. However the technology eases the every day life.
3. Do you agree that having instant access to everything via the internet helps you to know yourself better? Why or why not?
~ I believe that knowing what you like and learning skills of what you like to do can be helped with the Internet but I don not think that it helps you know yourself personally, how you work and how you connect with people which is a large part of who you are cannot be determined by the Internet.
4. Do you agree that technology helps pave the way to move forward as a civilization? Why or why not?
~I believe that technology is part of our civilization and it is progressing with us but I believe we could move on without it we would just have to adapt to the old ways of life.
I like how you pointed out that technology is a way to connect with people around the world. When I was thinking of reasons young people wanted to use technology I wasn't even thinking about being able to connect with people in different countries! But I guess growing up in a completely different world than you are in now makes you think about this more.
ReplyDeleteI agree that technology eases everyday life and also that it does take away from truly getting to know one another because it does take away face to face conversations. You could live your whole day without leaving your house by just talking to people in the computer or cell phone. When you really think about it its kind of sad....
I don't know if I completely agree with you about being able to move on without technology though. I believe that as long as we are living on this Earth we are going to keep advancing in technologies and inventing new things. It would e nice to adapt to the old ways of life, but I think people would just keep trying to make new things and make things easier.
