Personal Response
Technology does play a huge role in my life. It has evolved immensely since I was younger. My mom still can barely use her cell phone. My dad is slowly catching on with computers. I haven’t had a lot of technology devices as I was growing up. Now I have a laptop and an iPhone 4s. Both are essentials because I use them a lot for academic and personal uses. Without either of them I wouldn’t be able to survive college not communicating with my family and friends. It does amaze me how much not only technology has evolved but more so social networking sites. I remember being so cool back in the day because I had MSN messenger and e-mail. Then it went from Bebo, to Myspace and now Facebook. I think that social networking can be a positive and negative add to our generation. It can get out of hand when people become too virtual and less and less real; all the backstabbing and trash talk. Yet social networking can keep your friends and family informed about what’s going on in your life. Sometimes it’s like being with the people because you can talk to them and see a bunch of pictures and even videos with just a click of your mouse. I love my phone and especially Facebook and Skype because I can talk with my friends that are in Afghanistan, really means a lot to me. All the nonsense that social networking can cause, can also be avoided. The amount of time spent on technology devices can be controlled and limited, depending on your personal time management skills.
