Technology has affected almost everyone on planet Earth.
Before today’s technology a cell phone Technology
has affected almost everyone on planet Earth. Before today’s technology a cell
phone was considered to be a helpful tool only to call people whom you needed
to speak with. Today, however everyone is glued to their cell phone texting
their friends and sending pictures and video through this large wave linked
world. We are being corrupted by this device that allows us to check our
Facebook and Twitter and other social network sites. Going back not too long
ago none of these existed.
I
remember hanging out side with my friends playing football and seeing other
kids enjoying the outdoors. When these products of technology came out,
football began to vanish. In February 2013 I went on a Crew (Boy Scouts)
campout and almost everyone there was focused on their MP3 players, Ipod
Touches, IPads and cell phones. What a waste of enjoying the outdoors that was.
I loved it when all this technology didn’t affect our daily lives. Yes it is
nice to have, but we don’t NEED it to survive off of.
From the Center of Media Literacy they said that, “media
literacy provides a framework to
access, analyze, evaluate and create messages in a variety of forms - from
print to video to the Internet”. The world practically uses media
literacy every day in the 21st century. Then I would call myself media literate. I do
because to be considered media literate you must be able to create media in any format and speak to the media
in any format. I have a Facebook and I must
have created my own media page. Then while on Facebook I do at times make posts
and they tend to be written like anyone else using Facebook.
I agree with some of what he has said in
his excerpt. I think some of it can be true and some it isn’t. Some people do
get the fear that we will get things taken away from us; like Orwell thinks it
will ban books. Then Huxley’s fear of the truth being drowned. These things
people to fear and I totally agree with. The only thing that we might have
trouble with is deciding who is right or who is wrong.
