This is because some individuals could abuse the privilege of having information be available to them in a matter of seconds and then rely very heavily on technology. This is by hurting their real human relationships- these individuals get carried away with how entertaining and useful their devices can be, and seek out short term satisfaction in terms of their devices- instead of having real interaction with the people who matter most to them, such as their wife, husband, children, etc. These types of people are displayed in the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.

When I moved away from home for the first time, I rented a townhome with two of my high school classmates, Kaylin and Rachel. Each of us attended Wichita State, worked part time, and lived similar lifestyles, so we believed our arrangement to be ideal, despite not having been the closest of friends. The planning stage was very exciting and involved lengthy discussions about who would furnish the living room, kitchen, or dining room and how we would handle expenses and house rules. Additionally, the three of us agreed to share the cleaning and other household responsibilities, but within three months, Kaylin and I quickly realized only the two of us had meant it. In order to bring this to Rachel’s attention and request she start contributing

Looking into a person’s personality there are surprises around every corner. I have learned to expect the unexpected when working on this assignment. I asked five friends to take the personality test, along with taking it myself, and the results did not turn out the way that I had expected. My friends, who I thought had an okay view on the world, really don’t think that it treats them fairly and the people who I thought were more aggressive than the rest scored lower than those who I thought to be less aggressive people. I also found myself a little surprised with how my scores turned out. Just when you think you have yourself figured out you learn something new. Though no matter what a piece of paper with a

Speaking up is a gift that is given and a gift that can be taken from us. Not everyone has the ability to speak up. And I am one of them.

Overall, I believe that the test was fairly accurate in measuring certain factors of my personality so much so that it was difficult for me to find certain factors that I did not agree with. However there were two factors, E (dominance) and Q1 (rebelliousness), which I believe were a bit overrated in myself. Aside from these the test seemed to adequately define facets of my personality. For “warmth” (factor A) my sten score read 4, indicating that I am slightly more reserved and critical that easygoing and good-natured. I scored a 7 in “ego strength” (factor C), classifying me as more stable and emotionally mature and less emotional and changeable in attitudes. In dominance (factor E) my sten score read 8, meaning I am more assertive, competitive and stubborn rather than submissive, dependent and humble. I received an average score of 5 in “impulsivity” (factor F) indicating a slightly more serious and sober approach to the world over the cheerful and enthusiastic view. As for “boldness” (factor H), I received a sten score of 4 signifying a more shy and restrained approach to things as opposed to an adventurous genial one. I received a median score of 5 for “emotional sensitivity” (factor I) demonstrating my slightly more tough-minded and self-reliant view in contrast to a sensitive insecure one. For “imagination” (factor M) a score of 8, indicating that I am more imaginative, unconventional and absorbed in ideas and am less so for practicality and the prosaic.
