blog numero one

KRISTA

I never blogged before and I don't care to blog. I'm a Safety Science major because I love safety and I love science.


"Attached to Technology and Paying a Price"
This article actually made me feel good because I am constantly distracted and I thought I had ADD but the more I read the more I realized everyone has this problem and mainly because of technology. The author of the article was actually kind of sick checking an email 25 times a day is crazy to me all while texting, facebooking, etc. When I read anything about technology I think the same things- when will it end? Can we live without it? How much further are we going to take it? Technology helps my grades but also kills them, I can't not text, I can't not check my facebook when I know I should be doing something else. If I had a choice I'd go back in time where people used their imaginations and literally enjoyed the free things in life. Another big thing for me is I feel like my generation has a happy medium with it because as we became older technology really took off but for someone like my niece who is 7 and already knowing how to use a cell phone and having one is sick; I almost feel like she is missing out on her childhood of being a free spirit and just a kid. At the same time how remarkable is it that kids at such a young age already know how to access the internet? Then I think about how easy our lives are because of technology, how much it helps me as a student learn more and expose myself to more. Me and technology simply have a love hate relationship.
