I do frequently get "wowed" by technology and all it can do. The internet alone is an amazing tool. I cant even comprehend all it can do which is why we have to be so careful. I hear of so many horror stories, evading privacy by looking in via our computer cameras, finding out internet banking details, or just simply emailing a virus. So why are we all so comfortable using the internet, i know i am i don't take many precautions. 'its my lap top know one else will see.. Right? '

So I have said that technology has been designed to make communication easier. we all know that this is not always the case. Technology is making digital communication easier and physical communication so much harder.
Someone put it in perspective for me one day. This individual (who i cant remember) hates it when she is being served in a shop and the phone rings. The shop assistant has two choices, continue serving or answer the phone. The phone always wins. Now think of the phone as a rude customer interrupting and demanding attention just like the phone. You wouldn't put up with that, and neither would the shop assistant. So why do we always answer the phone over face to face communication. They will always call back!
Another prime example im sure we have all come across, friends texting while your trying to have a conversation with them? That is not social!

  1. A nice start and clear evidence of your own views. Your blog is well labelled and has a clear description of purpose.Your postings lack application of knowledge e.g. links to sourced and referenced materials. All referenced material should be acknowledged in posts as per APA guidelines.

    You should be looking to use blogging tools to expand information links e.g. video content, RSS feeds, photos etc.


    Keep at it. Thanks James
