Staying Connected
I feel lucky to be able to stay connected with friends and family. Technology is an easier and quicker way to stay connected. My phone allows me to talk to my friend all the time and we keep each other informed about our lives. The internet allows people to stay in contact and allows you to meet new people. For some people technology ruins their social life, they don't seem to find have time to actually talk to people. For me I only use my phone to text my best friend or make phone calls, and I only use my I Pod to play games and music when I'm bored. My electronics has change me because I spend less time with family and more time on my electronics. I think texting has influenced me the most because I text all the time and I stay up half the night texting or talking to friends. My I Pod gives me something to fill in my spare time. I have seen many of my friends change because one moment they could be so happy until they read something that upsets them, then it can ruin the rest of their day. I see many students which make their electronics their whole life and they act as if they would die without their electronics. I don't feel like I'm addicted because I can actually go without my electronics. Bradbury was trying to say that people are allowing technology to take over, but you should still take time to get a breath of air. Don't allow technology to suck the life out of you and yes he is right.

I agree with your blog. I feel that I spend more time with my gadgets than my own family. It's kinda crazy. We easily become addicted to theses things. A lot of the times, gadgets make up a students life. They don't want to do anything else. They can't even put them down for a second. What you said about Bradbury was true. Technology is taking over our life's. We should still take time out of our day and breathe some fresh air.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right,you should not allow technology to take over your life. I think a lot of people get so addicted to their phones, and texting that they lack in social skills. This is why it is so important to take time and get a "breath of fresh air".
ReplyDeletePeople just forget how to function nowadays. Its like they don't try. "oh no, the pizza guy is at the door.", so he types this prompt:
ReplyDelete\\command\interact\open\Front_door into his computer and hopes that the pizza will fly his way to his desk. I can say from experience that it can't do that. as much as i wish it could.
