*What new technology could you not live without?
I do not think I could live without a computer to google things, also my ipod touch is almost always with me. Things we use everyday like the dishwasher, oven, and washing machine saves us so much time.
*Has technology changed society?
Technology has made society more dependent, but it also helps to get things done faster. People assume technology can fix all of their problems.
*Is technology a good or bad thing?
I think technology has pros and cons. America has relied on technology for almost everything. So when something electronic breaks they just stand around and wait for it to get fixed, they don't try to find another solution. It is good because it saves us time and sometimes does a better job than we could have done ourselves.
*Has technology made us more impatient or obsessed?
I think people loose their patients so much more easily because they grow up with the newest electronics. Every time a new technology item comes out it is newer and more improved than the last one. People are used to getting on the computer and not having to wait less than 3 seconds for the website to pop up.

I think we almost get all of our information from technology and it makes things so much more easier for people. I can see how it made people lazy. Because they do not have to get up and do things for themselves electronics and technology does it for them.

You stated "electronics and technology does it for them" and I agree because it's true and I never thought of that, really.
ReplyDeleteYou stated that technology is a good thing. I sort of agree and disagree with that because things like the dishwasher and washing machine are good but we need to not rely on our technology so much. I disagree with that statement because I think our country is getting too lazy and we need to be working more.
ReplyDeleteYou stated that appliances we use everyday save us so much time and I agree because there are 5 kid in my family and we could not live without a dishwasher!
ReplyDeleteYou stated I think people loose their patients so much more easily because they grow up with the newest electronics and I agree because my nephew doesn't have patients when we wait in line at the stores, he is used for things going fast like a computer loading. Many people don't have dial up anymore.
