Response to video

I agree with the teacher from Hawaii who made the video Digital Life, when she says that technology has grown enormously throughout the years, and that we use technology every day and i think she did a very good job by displaying her opinions through this music video. When she says " nothing is real until we instagram our shots " seems to me like she is being a bit bias to the idea that we use technology to much in our lives. Most people don't need to tweet their thoughts or things they do, and they don't need  to post a handful of pictures to be able to get on with their day, but in the teachers point of view i think she thinks that most people need to tweet, post, or blog something to be able to continue on with their day.

Technology has influenced us in many ways and we have become independent on it to help us strive through our daily routines. As the teacher said in the music video "my phone helps me find restaurants and bars " and " GPS to drive my car " it shows that we use technology for simple things to make our day easier, even though we can do it the "old fashioned " way and use a map or follow directions we choose the easy way to get around or get things we like and use GPS, online shops and many other things that we use technology for.

Heres the digital life video if you want check it out :

  1. I agree that the technology really influence us a lot!!! However, on the part where you said teacher "a bit bias", you must consider that the phone distract us. Even thought we these days, we have more control on the phone, and know when to put away, but many people still got distracted by the phone, and loss focus. Other then that I think most of the point are pretty good like we use GPS to make our life easier, and use phone to get to restaurant. These are some point I agree a lot!

  2. I agree whith you for this sentence, "Technology has influenced us in many ways and we have become independent on it to help us strive through our daily routines." And I don't really think that teacher is bias about we use technology too much, in fact, that's what I feel as well. Well, what I trying to say is, even myself think that we, as students, use too much technology.
