Google alerts:Technology

Today I was reading about how we have become slaves to the very products that are supposed to make our lives easier. For instance, our phones, laptops, and other devices make it easier to connect with others. But, when ever a phone rings or you get an email or a text message, you feel like you have no choice but to answer it. Our intentions are good, but technology has made it so that we are addicted to it. I don't like what our economy has come to. For instance, I know a lot of people who won't go anywhere without their cellphones or laptops. Here are some questions that will make you think about your technology in your house and how much you depend on it: What would it be like to turn off all technology products in your home for one evening? Does the thought sound wonderful or anxiety provoking?

Digital footprint presentations

I liked all of the presentations, they were very good. I didn't know that it mattered if I had more than one username. I also didn't know that you could loose a job for having a Facebook or other social networks. I don't think it is right for a coach or a teacher to make students give them their usernames and passwords. People should think before they post things on the Internet. People should also make sure that they don't tell anybody their passwords or usernames.

What your digital footprint conveys about you.
