To begin with, electronics bestows us with social media. We are provided with information like politics, lifestyles, activities, fashion and so many more things with just a click of a button.

Keeping in touch for people in this generation is extremely easy due to being able to reach in your pocket and text or call your family or friends. Per the same article mentioned before, “We no longer lose our social media ties over our lives.” Family and friends no longer have to be kept waiting or worried, we have electronics.

Imagine going to an amazing concert. It’s something someone would want to remember right? So, this person may grab out their phone, take a few pictures, record some videos, and tweet or something. But, are they really witnessing the true excitement of that concert? I don’t think so. Everyone is so sucked up in technology that we don’t take the time to notice the significance of life around us. It’s a shame that someone could miss out on so much because they were so intrigued by a video of a cat that their friend tagged them in. Everyone believes that technology is making life better, when we are really losing sight of what really matters around us. Families don’t talk as much because the TV is on, people don’t go out on real dates, and people are too busy trying to get the perfect picture of something, that they miss the true beauty of what is really there.

We are living in the Era of the Technology. Everything around us, and everywhere we go there is some type of technology involved. It helps us to

Today’s society revolves around technology. Everyone is immersed in a digital reality whether they are out to lunch with friends, taking public transportation, or sitting alone at home. Emails, texts, and social media feeds all demand the immediate attention of nearly everyone at all times of day. Everything from family to the military has a digital presence. Technology has heavily impacted the way everyone communicates within society and the way they function inside institutions. While there are numerous positive applications of the internet, it begins to go wrong when society becomes too immersed to acknowledge the extent of its influence.

Today, the impact technology has had on the world is immense as our society has changed to revolve around it. Back in the day, before the radio, news was broadcasted on print sources. With the introduction of the radio, news consumption became easier and grew substantially. News shows, entertainment shows, and even presidential elections and broadcasts from our president became features of this new technology. However, the introduction of the Television changed everything. All of these media contents were transmitted to the television where there was a visual component. American culture was changed forever and the people in the country were hooked on television. Now for the first time, all citizens could see the presidents during their presidential debates, and the image of each president now matter drastically. Additionally, media and entertainment was changed forever as now movies were available in the home and easily accessible. As microprocessors were developed, computers also became a norm and the internet provided a landmine of ability to grow. Email, and instant messaging connected us more than before and the world was becoming smaller as the information age grew. We gained access to more and more information now and we were able to grow as an Indi dual and learn in our own homes. Finally, the introduction of the cell phone increased our connectivity and allowed us to stay connected wherever we were in the

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.

When thinking of a scientist, the visual that often comes to mind would be that of a curious, patient individual slaving away in a sterile environment. Scientists are often viewed by society as quite droll, but in reality, they must be incredibly creative and intuitive in order to make scientific discoveries. Children around the world often dream of making remarkable scientific discoveries, although for some, unfortunate circumstances prevent them from working in scientific laboratories. Whether it be due to a major illness or a physical defect, many inspired adolescents are kept from their true passion, due to the demands of the field. These individuals are often forced into much less favorable professions, but still retain the analytical mind of a prospective scientist. However, those lucky few who are allowed to express their scientific interests through their alternate occupations, typically novelists, often portray idealistic societies which have been driven forward by scientific advances. One such disgruntled novelist, Aldous Huxley, allows his creativity to flourish through his work, spouting a myriad of technological advancements which have allowed society to become utopian. In Brave New World, author Aldous Huxley presents the reader with a fanciful tale of scientific conquest and social upheaval, which ultimately degrades his reputation as a credible scientist.

In the Articles “I Tweet, Therefore I Am” and “How Computers Change the Way We Think”, Andrew Lam and Sherry Turkle talks about how technology and digital tools has tremendously changed the way we think and the way we live our lives. They elaborated on the good and bad things that technology has done for us and also the disservice it has done to our society. Digital tools are beneficial for individuals and our society because of how digital tools allow ordinary people to be journalist, because of how it allows people to be Avatars online, and because of how it can give people an opportunity be famous and make really good money.

Technology nowadays holds stronger connections to people because our society focuses on status.

In the article, “Has technology changed cultural taste?” by Serena Kutchinsky, she explains how the explains that the internet has had a huge impact on pop culture in today’s generation. Technology is evolving tremendously, for example, shows like Ellen DeGeneres or The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon has now become a part of YouTube because it provides a larger audience engagement. In my experience, I have stopped watching television and now everything is available in my cellphone from platforms like YouTube or Netflix. Dick Penny says that technology allows people to interact with each other with a traditional experience or a participatory interaction. Nevertheless, the audience has gained control of the conversation by commenting and clicking rather than talking to someone face to

Considering that the world has become so dependent on technology, society has become accustomed to it being a part of daily life. In some cases, or professions, that may be a good thing. As a psychologist, the use of social media can help possibly save someone’s life. There are quite a few psychology groups on social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter just to name a few that focus on reaching out to people who possibly need it. There are also some psychologist who use their cell phones to do tele sessions with their patients who may be unable to come to the office setting.

Technology as we know it comes in many forms, whether it be in laptops, cell phones, internet and the like.

In these day, what is the purpose of using technology? Was it just bored or hiding from the reality? How does technology associate in our life? This image appearance the impact of cyberculture. I took this photo in front of a bus stop. It is clear to see how cyberculture has involve in our daily life - everyone is holding an electronic device and most people are focusing on it. In my experience, this has become ordinary situation in every developed countries. People siting together, staring at their smart phone, hardly talk to each other but typing all the time. The only moment they have interaction is by taking a selfie. Nowadays, 66 percent of people suffer from “no mobile phobia”(nomophobia), they
