Technology Impact On My Generation

Howard show various ways of how technology affected today’s society. Howard shared a story of his grandmother who died recently, she witnesses the two world wars, the first man walked on the moon and many more. Although his grandmother had a phone, she never had the opportunity to experience video sharing and any social media sites. Throughout the years the growth of search engines, social networks, mobile devices and video sharing are constantly increasing. Howard says that people he knows turns off their devices during dinner and leave their smartphones behind before they go to bed. According to Howard the majority of Americans who are under 25 are sleeping with their devices.

The information age has actually created great challenges for every profession and mostly journalism. The newly evolved technologies have significantly altered the way people receive news and other information. Basically, the influence of new technology in our lives and how twitter affected the field of Journalism. Journalism and social media have entered into a convenient marriage. Especially twitter has become important and popular among the journalists. News outlets have been using it to distribute news, market stories and also it has helped them to reach out to consumers while reporters have been using it as a tool to find and approach people (Broersma, 2013). Twitter is acting as a useful source in the 21st century. Twitter provides us with access to find and connect with various people, which was not possible earlier. All these changes have occurred due to the evolution of the Internet. Before the establishment of the internet people usually met and communicated face to face and mostly relied on word of mouth. But this technology has changed our lives and made it interesting and knowledgeable. My personal experience with that is quite similar as the rest, I enjoy spending time on these sites and do gain valuable information, which was not really possible earlier. On the other hand, people are becoming addicted to social media and it is consuming the majority of our time, as it has become a way to spend most of

Techonolgy has changed our generations greatly and maybe its for the better. I was born around the era of when techonocal talk was starting so I dont know a time without it. Honeslty I wouldnt want to know a time without it, I can imagine myself dying of bordem without my cellphone already. My mother talks about how great it is that we have the world by our fingertips. The meaning of that to me is instead of asking for a ride to the library I can simply pull out my smartphone and search up what I want, no gas money needed there.

Move over Generation X and Baby Boomers, the Millennials are marching through and equipped with top of the line technology and...smaller brains? According to Mark Bauerlein, Generation Y (another word for the Millennials) are the dumbest generation to boot. He claims the easy access to technology has made the generation less likely to concretely grasp information. However, bringing up new technology and theorizing that it results in dumber minds is a complete oxymoron, an unbelievable belief! The current generation may have faults of their own, but despite what Bauerlein has asserted, this generation is nowhere near the dumbest.

In my generation of the United States of America, we have been given many opportunities to grow in a healthier environment, new ways to learn and help us succeed into adults. To make this country a better place the government, workers of our country, and much more people to help us succeed as adults. This generation's growth will include of technology, education, and medicine. There are so many ways that we have been given to help our country in the future.

Everywhere we look around us now is some sort of technology taking over and the problem with that is we no longer engage with one another as we did twenty years ago. It was not long ago that hand held devices were non-existent. During those good ole days people sparked up conversations during dinner, they were caught outside passing around a ball with their children and hardback books were not just on a shelf as apart of the décor.

Nick Carter once said, “It 's like Forrest Gump said, 'Life is like a box of chocolates. ' Your career is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you 're going to get. But everything you get is going to teach you something along the way and make you the person you are today. That 's the exciting part - it 's an adventure in itself”. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average worker currently holds ten different jobs before age forty, and this number is projected to grow. Forrester Research predicts that today 's youngest workers will hold twelve to fifteen jobs in their lifetime. In class we received an assignment about career planning. I constantly dream about living in a huge house with two cars, and working in San Diego as a Family Counselor. In this assignment we assess our career aspirations, and possibly alternative career paths.

Technological advancement has had the greatest impact on the millennial generation coupled with the events post 9/11 including the ensuing decade long war on terror. This generation came into a world very different from their immediate predecessors. The only generation that experienced a similar trauma was the children that followed the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Technology, mass communication, social networking, and affluence have all contributed to the differences in the reaction and the worldview of the millennial group from this earlier generation. The ability to communicate the vivid details of tumultuous events in real time directly into the living rooms and computers of millennial households were determining factors that fed the fear and

Technology has shaped our generation and helped make things easier and better. In past generations people would have to go to a library and find a book that has the information that they need. Now you just google what you are trying to find to trying to learn about and thousands of websites about it. Technology has made easier ways to store things and remember things by making your phone remind you with a clock. You can use technology to wake you up like with the clock on your phone. Technology can help you go places with a GPS and you can use technology to entertain you with videos. America’s gift to my generation is technology.

I run out on errands on a daily basis, and frequently I encounter a parent with kid following behind like a zombie, holding a phone. I assure that everyone has seen the rowdy child at the grocery store performing the tantrum of their life, until of course the parent hands them their phone. Kids of the new generation are growing up in a technology based environment. Technology has the ability to facilitate our everyday lives, although at what cost? Kids are being psychologically affected everyday as they have access to technological devices or the internet. I work at an after-school care program in which I interact with children from the ages of five through fourteen. I also have brother in third grade, and a sister in fifth grade. Therefore I have a first-hand experience in witnessing the drastic effects technology is having on the kids, as well as in school.

Technology is used on a daily basis to accomplish specific tasks or interests. Modern technology increases human capabilities and this technology has evolved with years. Technology simplifies life in so many ways and everyone defines technology in their own way. They’re new types of technology on the market, this technology simplifies our daily lives. They’re endless demands as consumers of technology, people use technology to accomplish simple tasks every day. Technology’s used in business, education, communication, healthcare, entertainment and so much more. There’s an unquestionable impact of technology on society. Whether considering the plow, vaccinations, or the internet, technology has had a huge impact on society. While not every advance benefits society, there’s many positive effects of technology. Modern technology makes life more convenient now more than ever. Modern technologies like broadband internet makes it possible to access relevant information at any time anywhere. Today’s technology makes it simple for students to learn from anywhere through online education and mobile education, which improves the education system. It also improves the health system, most hospitals have implemented modern technology in surgical rooms, which may reduce the number of mistakes made by doctors. Modern technology’s more convenient than when it was simpler because, it provides an easy way to access information, improves the education system, and it improves the health system.

An object which represents a social literacy that has shaped my life is a cell phone. Cellphones have become an integral part of everyday life for most people. They hold the ability to connect people despite distance and for most are an object which brings them happiness. For me however it is the opposite, the moment my phone begins to ring or I am faced with making a phone call my heart begins to race and my anxiety sets in. I have always been an anxious child but it was until last year that I was clinically diagnosed with social anxiety. In today 's society there is a strong stigma that stands against mental health illness and a person is often labeled by their illness. Most people would believe that by having social anxiety this would then stunt my social literacies but instead it has allowed me to see a whole new side to social interactions, a side which has exposed me to new techniques to social interaction and communication.

Technology is all around us, we can 't escape it and it is necessary in everyday life., almost everyone has a smartphone or an some electronic device. Technology is also necessary in school and work, students use the technology to do research, email their teacher, or submit work online. In offices or other workplaces the main source of everything is a computer, it is now important to have computer skills no matter where one works.

Technology is the foundation of a teenager’s everyday life. It is hard for them, and myself, to imagine our lives without it. I am always on my cell for either work, communication, or entertainment, but sometimes it feels as if I am addicted to my cell phone, and I would say that my friends may even be worse. Even though I may be connected with everyone on social media, it’s hard to say I have a real connection with them in real life. Technology is unarguably one of the greatest achievements in history, but I think it has limits and restrictions on people’s social lives, including millennials. Technology hinders millennials from developing deep, meaningful relationships, gives them a false sense of reality, and creates impatience and lack of focus.

With this new glass of Merlot by my side, I sit and wonder at the amazement of technology. Each velvety sip opens me up in my corner a little more just as technology has done so for the world. But now I must go off and ponder further on into an important philosophical question of whether this technology, endless as it has come to be, should be considered as a thing that has brought out the best or the worst in society. How complex a question! Surely I could easily look back fondly and count the many ways that technology and its manifold presence has been nothing but a blessing, not only to facilitating human kind, but also our intrinsic pursuit of society. But now, as easy as that might be, it would be a more healthy venture to play the
