I agree with the fact that technology is here to stay, but I don't think everyone has to embrace every aspect of it . Our parents survived their adolecence without all the technology we have access to. But technology is around to make our lives easier if people use it the way it is intended. Its obvious that cell phones are a much faster way to conact someone than writing a letter is. The problem arises when technology becomes an obsession. I don't have a Facebook and many people have told me that it's good that I don't, but that makes me question why they have Facebooks in the first place if it's so good not to have one.
Relating to school, I think we have no choice but to be taught about technology in order to be prepared for the careers we will be going into where technological knowledge is needed. You can't walk into a job without knowing how to use a computer. Doing this blogging in class is a way for us to get more familiar with computers and the internet while allowing us to voice our opinions in unique way. Blogging will help us inform others and be informed by the other members of the class. By applying the subjects we blog about to real life, it helps us connect to the material more than just memorizing it to pass a test.
I do agree with ppl. who tell you your lucky to not have a fb, but i also disagree its a way to keep in touch but on the other hand its a distraction. I do believe that bringing up jobs and technology is right thats shortly what everything is revolving around who knows whats the next thing to come in seeing that everything is getting bigger or smaller and better! I think school is preparing us but also ruining us with all the technology.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right and technology becomes a problem when it becomes an obsession - just like a lot of things can like shopping or drinking or worrying about our looks, etc...
