The facts and statistics presented in this video are over whelming.What has become part of our everyday (Youtube, Twitter, Email, even Computers and Cell phones) was invented in my lifetime alone. When my dad was in college, a computer took up the entire basement of his engineering building. It boggles my mind to think about. The ways that we communicate, advertise, buy, sell, trade and navigate is all dependent upon some form of computer.
This video got me thinking. If all this has happened in such a short amount of time, what does the future hold for us? Will computers, not medicine, be curing our worlds diseases someday? Will we all be flying to work like the Jetsons? If Obama can raise millions for his presidential campaign on a social networking site, will computers someday eliminate the need for face-to-face contact all together? I am an advocate of technology and advancement, but at what point do we draw the line between use and overuse?

Annie,
ReplyDeleteWow!!!! I love your voice and opinion in this blog it makes it very powerful. I totally agree with you of when is this "revolution" suppose to stop and how far will we go. I loved all the questions that you left open ended, they make you think. Only thing would be is to watch your commas and the placement of them. You do a great job of really telling the truth about where this technology has come from and how will it change us. Great job!
