Technology is used in everyday life now from a cellphone to a computer to a television. It is a big part of our lifes but has it taken over. What happened to the good al days where you were able to use a piece of paper and a pen to write a paper. They lady in this video Dana boyd believe that technology is the devil because they think the schools are loosing there touch on how they teach students. Also you loose a personal contact with people its now easier to write someone an email then talk to them in person or texting them rather then calling them on the phone. She believes that websites are turning into something you only socialize with people with. I get on facebook constantly to see how my friends are doing rather then doing what I am suppose to be doing. People also use them for dating purposes and what happened to going out and meeting people. I feel like sometimes its hard to have a conversation with someone because it is like they forgot how to have one with some body. She gives many examples to prove her points from facebook and myspace to search engines like wipapedia and google. I do not think technology is all bad it does make it easy for you to learn things. You can pretty much type anything into google and you can get the information you need. I do believe that technology is very benefical for educational purposes. Microsoft word tries to help you out with your gammer and spelling and you cant get that from using pen and paper. If you do not use technology you will basically be behind in life. I think technology has its good and bad points like all things and she really illastraes that in the video. It makes you kinda want to debate the pros and cons of technology and is it really worth everything it is made out to be.
