Likes/Dislikes of Tech.


      Undoubtedly, technology makes life a little easier. Sometimes it can really be frustrating, but it mostly makes the day easier. I like how quick I can get information, about pretty much anything, while I'm doing a paper or doing an assignment. It is definitely user friendly for the most part as well. I like how much easier it is to communicate with other people also. It is just so much more convenient to send a text rather than make a call.

      On that note. I feel that technology is kind of changing our culture. Instead of going to church, for example, we can watch it on TV. In a 2010 New York Time's Articlehttp://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/07/technology/07brainpoll.html, Marjorie Connelly wrote that, "Younger people are particularly affected: almost 30 percent of those under 45 said the use of these devices made it harder to focus, while less than 10 percent of older users agreed." It is very easy to get distracted. How many people do you see checking facebook or twitter during classes? Technology definitely has both its ups and downs.
