In response to Maggie's Post....


Do you think our generations and younger generations rely too much on technology?
I defiantly believe that our generation and younger generations rely way too much on technology. I agree with what Maggie said about how we don’t even have to leave our house to go shopping or even talk to a person face to face, all we have to do is text or send a face book/twitter message. It actually pretty sad, I sometime stop and think what it would be like to not have cell phones. In the past they didn’t have cell phones pr emails and everyone was perfectly happy. They had to talk to people face to face and they could actually see the emotions. Via text or email you can write whatever you want and no one can tell if you’re lying or how you’re really feeling.
Everyone gets so distracted with his or her phone, missing important information. It’s so easy to get away with texting in class because texting is so simple and a lot of students can text extremely fast. Students are always getting in trouble in classes because they are literally addicted to there phone. High school students on average send over 3,000 text messages a month. It would save a lot of time if they either just called the person or physically went and had a face-to-face conversation.
What’s your output on demand for technology in our technology and younger technology? Do you think people would stop being socially awkward if cell phones no longer existed?
