Reflection On Technology And Technology

Technology may be the greatest and most useful concept that we have in our lives. Looking deeper into how did this piece of technology come into our hands? It is so easy to look at all the positive things about technology and how it makes our lives a thousand times easier but how does technology cause consequences for both our social and physical worlds? How does it affect our environment and how do capitalist affect the social aspect and can it be prevented?

A main problem with technology is the increase in bullying that comes with it. When kids are bullied at school or while at sports, they should be able to come home feeling safe and as if they have escaped their tormentors; however, almost every kid has a phone or some kind of device and social media that bullies are able to use to taunt the kids while they are at home as well. It is also easier to get more kids involved in bullying because people are more likely to say things online that they would not say in person. The increase in cyber-bullying has also led to an increase in teen suicides. These problems go back to the fact that it is so much easier for people to say things while they are comfortable sitting behind a screen. When kids do not have an escape, they never have a break from the constant bullying and hate and most likely will not tell an adult or parent about it. Kids, and even high schoolers, tend to keep to themselves when they are bullied because it is embarrassing to tell someone about and they are uncomfortable with the situation.

Technology affects people all over the world, both positively and negatively. Texting messages is considered to be one of the major inventions coming from technology. Technology today had advanced from the time it was created. Technology can be used as critical thinking. It is no surprise that technology is becoming more connected in our work lives also in classes. We have been more involved with it by allowing it to be used in our personal lives too. As the world changes, Technology changes with it and made SMS in the progress. Texting is a way of communicating between cell phones by sending texts to one another. Are we aware that technology is basically ruining our lives?

As we get closer to 2018 we are excited about the new technologies and the roadmap ahead of us. We, along with all the other groups in ATTD, continue to make adjustments to our resourcing strategies to make sure we are well positioned for the future. There are some natural people movements that take place every year and we are adjusting to that. We have also been looking at our organization structure to see where we can be more efficient in our use of resources. This is in keeping with Babak’s message to all of ATTD in October on a New Way Forward. The following organizational changes are along those veins.

Having the ability to contact any of my friends or family members instantly at any moment has become my reality, which is the fastest way to communicate with someone now days. With that being said I believe that Technology and Social Media outlets has revolutionized society entirely, because it has furthered the ability to communicate with each other. Thus, allowing an easier way to set-up meetings, get together and parties… Making relationships maintainable in the long run by keeping in contact through social media. The constant advancements in technology has kept people in the loop of buying the newest phones and other devices. With advertisers urging people to buy the next Iphone or Samsung galaxy, while still having a well-functioning phone most people will still go out and buy it. In my mind I think this logic is ridiculous although it has become imbedded in society. I feel grateful that I have become aware of these seller tactics that way I do not follow these corporate schemes which are all about money. Through enough personal experiences I have my own views that these outlets of entertainment have improved some aspects of modern day relationships but not all.

Mahika, you made the most of the time you spent with us. I enjoyed hearing about what your family was planning to do after this week at iD Tech. You were a hard worker who strived to learn and understand Tynker. I was very impressed when on Monday, you worked on the first lesson in Tynker even during free time, when everyone else was playing games. That shows your honest love of knowledge and work that will get you far later in life. Good luck, have a great rest of your summer, and continue working through the Tynker lessons because I know that you have what it takes to get through them and figure out what everything means.

How do you relate to technology? You might have been asked this question before, but even if you haven’t this is a question that everyone could answer; there just might be different ways to answer. For me, when people ask how I relate to technology my mind cannot help but go to my iPhone and all the apps that I scroll through all the time, and yes, even when I am in the restroom. (we have all done this before). My favorite part about my cell phone and the applications that I am offered is the question itself; they allow me to relate a technology that everyone has some knowledge about to something that I am passionate about, the gospel. There are many apps on my cell phone that I enjoy, but only a few can keep me so entertained that I can hardly put my phone down to go to sleep at night. Usually, when I am bored, I quickly scroll through my phone to see an application that is going to satisfy me for the next 20 minutes of my life. Until, I get bored of that as well, but when it comes to the applications that are teaching me about God, I become deeply Intrigued and encouraged by what I am reminded. It’s like a buffet, I start at the salad line and keep walking hoping there is something else that is better, and when I get to the dessert boy am I the happiest girl in the world!

Technology has evolved so much over the past few decades. We now contain more software in our pocket than what it took to get to the moon. Technology has improved our lives in so many ways; however, it has also been destructive in certain aspects of our learning. In my senior year of high school, each student in the school was allotted a laptop for in class use as well out of class use. At first, I thought it would be beneficial to have such easy access to the internet and Microsoft programs; however, for me and many fellow students, this device turned into another large distraction and learning deficit. One of the reasons why is it was extremely hard for me to transition my note taking from handwritten to digital. My organization was in shambles, and I had no idea if I had written certain assignments or typed them. This in turn made it hard for me to study because none of my material was organized. The computers also became a large distraction, and the made it easier for cheating. The teacher didn’t always notice, but while they would be lecturing, they may have thought everyone on their device was taking notes, but most of them were playing games, watching Youtube videos, or screwing around on other website. Cheating was also made easier for students because if they were taking an online test, they could look up the answers on the internet with their computer, and it was so much more discreet than using their phone to cheat because the teacher thought they were doing what

I woke up to the sound of my alarm this morning it is interesting to see how many objects in our lives can be completely replaced by smartphones.

Throughout my life and my career journey, technology has played a significant role. At a very young age, I was introduced to programming by a math teacher in the seventh grade. After being sentenced to twenty-four hours of detention for making jokes during class, I learned my first programming language, GW BASIC from that same math teacher. One evening, during detention, this instructor saw that I had idle time on my hands and decided to make me a deal. The instructor made a deal that, once I finished all my homework; if I could write a computer program that made a ball bounce across the screen, for every trick that I could make the ball do, he would subtract one hour of detention off my time. This seemed like something I could not refuse and I promptly accepted the offer.

It is 2017 and it is safe to say that technology has integrated into daily routines. I for one will admit it, when I wake up the first thing I do is reach for my smartphone. I immediately check on people; I barely even talk to. Sad to admit but it might be to stay relevant to those weak ties for potential social gain. Nevertheless, that has been my daily routine for the last 6 years. Thinking back even further I remember my first interaction with technology and being formally introduced to a desktop computer. My uncle Felix introduced me to technology when I was 6 years old and as a child, I was fascinated by computer gaming. Computers opened my eyes to a whole new world and it continued to do so as I grew up. My uncle Felix at the time was in school studying to become a computer programmer. I remember uncle Felix building system units and once they were ready he would buy my games to play on his desktop. That was my favorite part of my day, coming home and playing a new game. He also introduced me to my first Game Boy Advance which was an upgrade from the original Game Boy Color. My parents couldn't afford to get me technology, luckily I still had the opportunity to have what I did. He spoiled me with technology, he was the one person in my life that has always trusted and believed the technology was a utopian instrument.

Starting off, I would say that technology has in a way changed many of my groups. Obviously technology will change the groups in which you are closer with. That being the primary group involved in my life at a personal level. You could definitely say that it has changed modern day society as we know it. The difference has been astronomical in the past 10-20 years clearly in many ways. If we get a little bit more in depth you can see how it has affected myself personally but also my peers and not to mention the generations of older and younger.

There are huge changes in the economy as the result of the rapid development of technology. In international finance, the capital flows between banks, and the economic, political and cultural connections will be influenced by the advances in technology between countries and regions. Science and technology development is a symbol of social progress, but also one of the reasons for economic development.

These days In America, the problem of Technology sucking us in has gotten out of hand, and remember; it’s gotten to your children. It’s hard for a certain many people to accept the way they project it as well, which I see every day of my life as a college student. The Articles, “What Adolescents Miss When We Let Them Grow Up in Cyberspace” By Brent Staples, as well as “Why we need to Embrace Technology in the Classroom” by Jeana Lee Tahnk are linked by this topic by the three different modes of Persuasion, Ethos, Pathos, Logos, and Kairos.

What is technology? Technology is the making, modification, usage, and knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, and methods to solve a problem and to achieve a goal. Technology is rapidly advancing every day to create a more efficient human lifestyle. However, technology is advancing rapidly to the point where it is becoming too intelligent, unpredictable, and uncontrollable for the human creators to control. Although the benefits tend to be great, the risks attached is far too great to be ignored.
