Digital Life video response


Technology made a supreme impact on the fundamental living model of human beings. Only a couple decade ago technology was far from our reach. Back then, no one dreamed of taking pictures with cell phones or having excess to unlimited information through internet. However, technology has now become one of the most crucial part of our life.

The video "Digital life" describes how the development of technology shaped who we, humans, are today. I agree with what the video is saying, digital life has indeed changed who we are. Nowadays, our behavior, mood, and even emotions can be greatly affected by technology. For instance, we've all been tormented by losing our phones. As soon as we realize that the smart electronic device is our of our reach, we start panicking as if the world would end. However is the world really going to end? Will we really die or not function without our smart phones? Technology brainwashed us into thinking that we need electronic devices in order to survive. This results in the intimidating feeling, emotions and mood when we lose our technological device.

"Digital life" has gotten as far as brainwashing us into mistaking technology as one of the essential things for survival. Nevertheless, digital life also supplies us with unlimited learning system, communication, and entertainment. I believe that as long as we don't abuse "Digital life" and the goods it provides us, technology can help mankind so be even more smart and inelegant then we already are.

  2. I really liked how the examples you wrote in the middle paragraph really relates to most of us. It helps in my understanding of your point. However, it would be great if you could put in more about "how technology affects you? (text to self)". Finally, the fact that you showed both sides of technology (good and bad) got me to think, which is a great influence to the readers.

  3. I like the writing format and the opinions in your response. Introduction and conclusion looked really nice and meaningful.
    However, i think that the reality is that today, most of the people is abusing technology. In my opnion, I think find a way to control the use of techenology is significant.
    As a result, i like your perspective and the writing format. Its way better than mine. :)
