Turtlenecks Future

The way we speak today will be a thing of the past in the future because we are slowly getting away from interacting with each other in regular vocal conversations. The joy of hearing someone else’s voice with tone and emotions will be missed by some but never experienced by the rest due to them resorting to electronic communication as their source of interacting with others. The only way some will see other people is by using the video to video form of communication to converse with. People will not be able to appreciate the personal attention they will be missing by not mingling with another human being. Even the written form of communication will change drastically due to the evolution of writing styles, with the use of social media, and

“Can you remember the last time you were in a public space in America and didn’t notice that half the people around you were bent over a digital screen, thumbing a connection to somewhere else?” (Fredrickson, 2013, pg. 1). In a world today where sending a text message containing the message “I luv you,” is equally powerful to that statement said in person to your significant other. Today’s generation is surrounded by the constant need to have technology and mainly cell phones at your fingertips. Gone are the days when people would talk to one another whilst standing in line, now it is all about having and using your cell phone to pass the time. All of this takes bondage on having an interpersonal relationship with each other and conversing

I feel that friendships have changed dramatically from what they used to be years ago. I can remember being a child who didn’t have a phone and the only talking I did with my friends was at school. The text message has taken the effort out of a friendship. When we wanted to talk with a friend we had to actually have a face-to-face meeting and spend quality time with them. Now with a few key strokes and a little bit of time, we can send a long paragraph of what information we are wanting to share. The text message has enabled us to spend less time with the physical relationship with our friends and give us more time to be able to do the more important things in our life. William Deresiewicz states “Friendship is devolving, in other words, from a relationship to a feeling” and I could not agree more. The amount of effort we put into a friendship is defined by how much time we have available to spend on our Facebook page talking to others.

Humans are social creatures who need and want to communicate with one another, and technology helps fulfill that need. Although technology, specifically texting and social media, has risen question to whether technology is killing our friendships. Though many believe that technology is tearing our friendships apart, it is actually strengthening them and keeping us closer together than ever before. Through technology, people have the power to stay in touch with friends all over the world, create new friendships with people who share similar interests, and feel closer to the friends we already have.

Even though technology has provided us with amazing results in making the world that once seemed massive fit into the click of our finger, technology has also deprived us of natural behaviors. We no longer communicate our feelings through words but through emoticons. People have forgotten what it means to hold a conversation and how to act with others without a screen in front of them. For example, months prior to attending Baylor University, I spent months interacting and creating a relationship with a friend who was also going to attending Baylor. We created a friendship via text messaging, but when it came down to us randomly running into each other we awkwardly acknowledged each other’s presence and said not one word to each other.

Considering all the friendships lost it is clear to see that technology is destroying our friendships. People are so busy connecting online that they are missing out on new, amazing chareristics in life and on true genuine friendships. Kids mistake their “friends” as true friends on the internet, as a result it leaves them hurt and heartbroken. Online communication can get in the way of creating

As this article state about the cons of using modern ways of communication and lacking of feelings, I feel that at some extend, I agree with author’s opinion. As Jim Taylor points out, “Kids want to be hugged and touched; they don’t want to be texted. There’s basic need to fill that social bond” (Johnson, Chandra), this explains the truth. We can not always express the feelings of sympathetic and empathetic through texting or phone call. This modern technology did change our lifestyle. In addition, people do use texting or other messaging applications to avoid complications talks instead of talking to another person face to face and also create a language barrier between them.

People have controlled prosthetic arms in many ways. Though this prosthetic arm, in particular, has twenty six joints, can curl up to twenty five pounds, and is controlled by the mind. This prosthetic arm was made in the John Hopkins University and can help people like Les Baugh who lost both arms as a teenager. Recently at age 59, he went through surgery at John Hopkins to remap

In the article, “Is Dating a Thing of the Past” by Shannon Doyne it explains how teenagers this time don't interact anymore and accept their modern electronics do all the work. In this scenario, these people have altered their relationship between one another such as not having sentimental friendships. Without devices, us humans can have deep friendships and build stronger connections. Today, our society only look forward to new technology than participating in knowing a stranger.

Tweet! Ding! Teens’ phones flood with notifications, messages, and updates from social media. Technology has started to consume a lot of people's time, and they are starting to spend more time with technology than with other people. Many younger generations are also starting to catch onto this trend. People are worried that technology is driving the future into the wrong direction. However, I believe that technology affects friendships in a positive way because people can stay in touch, become closer to friends they already have, and make new friends online.

For many years prosthetics were simple in design and gave very limited movement to users. Now a days, Bluetooth technology is being implemented in prosthetics, permitting amputees to experience a greater stability and better movement. Bluetooth allows limbs to communicate with each other to coordinate

From peg legs and hooks to mechanical arms and legs, prosthetics have improved drastically since the dawn of time. Prosthetics have allowed amputees to obtain more mobility and flexibility in their lives. The advancements in prosthetics have also led to a better understanding in the area of amputation and in the assembly of the prosthetics themselves. The question is what allowed the advancements of prosthetics to happen in the first place? The answer lies within technology and its role in the medical field. Technology has allowed for prosthetics to not only look like real limbs, but to function as though they are real. Progression in the fabrication of the prosthetic limbs from wood and leather, to now programmable microprocessor controls

2050 is the year, and nothing is like it was when I was my kids' age. Instead of them playing outside with friends, they stay inside and play games on their high tech tablets, commuters, and phones; children have now replaced skateboards with hover boards, and toys with electronics! My husband, Alex Turner, and I miss the days when people would actually interact with each other. Nowadays you never see 2 kids playing soccer in the front yard or riding bikes down the street; all you see is flying cars and motorcycles speeding down the roads. Today talking to virtual friends is more important than talking to real friends it seems like. When I was young, phones and social media were still a huge part out our lives, but not like this.

Trends in life style are gaining their importance and became a part in everyone's life .Trends in past may not fit to the present generation but it will be repeated in the future along with the new emerging trends existing at that time. New looks makes new life . Majority of people will have interest in getting new trends in their clothing and their costume design. Different dressing styles are followed depending on latest fashion.

Face to face relationships are very important because through contact we are getting live interaction, trust, honesty, and integrity. Face to face conversations are more positive and more reliable than friendships online. In cyber space you convers ate with friends but some will not acknowledge the friendship in public. Social media is slowly taking away from face to face relationships, because we contact our family and friends on the computer screen. We are typing while looking at the screen instead of seeing facial expressions. Therefore, we aren’t sure if they are interpreting what we are saying in a negative or positive way.
