What makes people so addicted to electronics? Is it the barrier it holds or the expansion it gives someone to be in contact with so many people. Some people find it easier to express there feelings over a text instead of confronting the person. Does this mean a person is emotionally unstable or just to lazy to go meet someone. Instead of calling someone you just text them. What makes texting so much easier then actually calling the person? Is this new obsession a good thing for our community or is it corrupting our brains.

steph,
ReplyDeleteI thought your post was good. I really like how you refer to the addiction to electronics as a barrier. I also like how you looked at the opposite side of the question and refered to electronic use as an expansion that it gives someone.
the way that you said that our use of technology is a barrier, made me think that maybe it is closing us off from the world and that we are caged in and that everything that is important in life isn't paid attention to because we are in this digital state of mind.
i like the perspective that you used. i liked how you didn't choose a side, but that you explained a bit about both negative and positive things. I think that was important because in life, people who make these products just care that you buy it because it's like once you buy it, the company owns you and you go back for more.
i think for next time, you should try and answer the question about electronics corruptting our brains. I think you can have greater ideas on this topic that would make others think more.
Your question made me think that my use of technology is corrupting me. i think that maybe I am kind of below or boarderline smart because I pay no attention to studying. only to things that are unimportant and dont help me in any way.
Thanks and I look forward to reading future blogs of yours.
I like how you gave me constructive criticism because now i can widen my blog statement's. I could tell you really read my blog and spent time writing your response. I like how you answered my question with thought and you also got me thinking how i don't spend enough time studying when i really should. Thanks for giving me great feed back and expanding my ideas.

ReplyDeleteI thought that your first post was very good. I like how you talk about how for some people find it easyer to share there feelings in a text than to see the person face to face, I feel that its true for some people because not really being in front of the person makes it easyer to say what you have to say, and the other thing you did pretty well was adding on to that saying are we being lazy or emotionally unstable and that made me think it was a mixture of the two. what i also like is the way you ended it as a question it also made me think is it really helping or messing up our community. It was very good hope to read more blogs from you
