Sure we are consumed with the Internet and Facebook and yes technology has made our lives easier. If you think about it, they're actually doing everything we used to do before social networks , but they're doing it differently. They are still reading books, still travelling, going for walks, hanging out with friends and so forth. This can be seen in the thousands of vlog entries you see scattered around Youtube. The only thing that's changed is the fact that we SHARE what we do with the world by posting it up on websites like Facebook and Youtube.Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363440493089188516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4485285597118810468.post-68611695862760755672008-04-21T09:50:00.000-07:002008-04-21T09:50:00.000-07:00I thought the Vision of Students to day was very w...I thought the Vision of Students to day was very well done! The movement of the clips really presented a way of looking out the time we waste in life doing mindless things. It is interesting that you note how a fifteen minutes study break can turn into hours. What would we do with our time if we didn't mindlessly waste those hours on line. I always find it kind of funny when people say, "what would we do without cell phones, without the internet, without computers." and I say to myself... well... what DID we do before all this? These tools, both positive and negative have just made our lives easier. It is easy to get info we need, easy to keep in touch, easy to do daily thing, easy to get things done more quickly... but it the end why does it matter if its easy? We are always in a race for time? Time is our dilemma. So yes, easier and faster is good... but what about all the time we don't even realize we've lost meandering mindlessly though cyberspace. minds fixed on a screen, mindlessly typing trying to stay "connected" before we run out of time.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18286583273029086184noreply@blogger.com
