1st Topic:
What kinds of technology do you use (in school, for entertainment, at home) and how have they changed the way you live? Which new technological innovation would you put in the same catergory as the invention of fire or electricity?
The technology I use most everyday is my Iphone and my Ipod. I don't watch much TV anymore, but I use the computer a lot. In school, we use TVs and computers. At home we use the microwave, phone, TV, lights, and the coffee maker!!! I use my phone to check almost everything from the weather to stocks, it's all right in my phone.
Having all this technology makes life much easier. Microwaves make 5 minute meals, coffee is made quicker, news is spread by the Internet and our TVs, and communication is made easier by having cell phones and the Internet. The down side of having so much technology is it makes us very dependent on it. If something were to happen to our technology, we might be in a state of disaster. Also, watching TV, listening to Ipods, and talking on cell phones all the time affects our hearing, sight, and brain function. We don't play many board games because there are so many game systems, which usually involve staring at the television. This could also cause separation between families.
I would put the Iphone in the same catagory as fire and electricty because it's like a little computer in a compact little case. It has internet, phone, email, clocks, calculators, games, etc. With the Iphone, you can do basically anything on it.
