My Views and Experiences with Technology and Computers
...
We've not only become so lazy to have person to person or phone converstaions, we now text but not only text, we shorten the words. Now sometimes it's ok if you need something quickly, like "I need to talk to you ASAP!" But, the smiley :) faces and the created phrases like IDK for I don't know......it drives me insane. Half the stuff I don't understand and I will be rude and blunt. "Please talk to me and stop mispelling words." :)

It was about 1988 when we first got a computer set up in our home. I still remember learning to type and learning how to use a mouse. The screen was black and green and there was a slight delay to receive a character on the screen after you punched it on the keyboard. Slowly but surely the internet, cell phones, emailing were knocking on our doors. I'm still in shock of what some of these newest technologies can do that it's hard to imagine what could possibly come next or how we ever did without these things. If I could count the amount of time that I have spent researching, reading, playing games, communicating, listening to music, watching videos, etc. on the computer it seems that it would be almost 10 to 15 hours daily. When I think about how much my time is consumed now by some sort of technology medium it truly blows my mind. How in the world could we expect to enter into a profession of teaching during this day and age and ignore how much technology impacts our every day lives?
This is a scary video. It not only makes me think that technology and computers keep our world running round but if it all shut down, what would happen to us? Youth today would not know how to survive. It's definitely a scary idea.I enjoyed the part that discussed how couples met online.I actually met my husband on an online dating site. At first we both felt ridiculously embarrassed telling anyone that's how it happened, but as I realize how normal it has become and how popular of a "thing" I don't worry about it. As much communication that occurs online, what's the big deal if I met him there. It's no different than running into to him at a store and striking up a converstation, right? At least not these days.
TED TALKS! Let's respond!
Lucy McRae: How can technology transform the human body?
This wacky but cool concept could either benefit us as a species or be our ultimate destruction. The idea that we can merge biology with technology raises some serious red flags about when is time to draw the line. I can just imagine that one day all we're going to have to do is put our finger up to a scanner and all our information can be provided including, SS#'s, bank information, address, telephone #, name, age, etc. Now, as far as creating a pill that makes our sweat smell like perfume? I can handle that much, but I do not want to see our bodies becomming more robotic than humanesque.
Joe Sabia: The technology of storytelling
I love how Joe Sabia is telling a story about the use of technology in storytelling while using all of the elements of technology to tell us. It's hilarious. Yes, the art of storytelling has definitely evolved creatively over the years, but I still thinks it's good to read an old fashioned book or hear someone tell you using hand gestures, facial expressions, and voice. We have to remember that we can still trust ourselves to do a good job without using technology every single time! Eventually we will all be handicapped and totally dependent on technology to do everything for us. Can you imagine, it'd be like the movie Surrogates (2009). Our true bodies lay dormant all day every day, hooked up to feeding tubes and we play our lives out in a fantasy world. CREEPY!
Rives tells a story of mixed emoticons
This video is a man telling a story using what I call "Tech Wave Language." It's language that people use when they have conversations over a computer device to shorten the length of time it takes to type or because it might look cute.

Skylar Tibbits: Can we make things that make themselves?
I am 100% pro technological advances and use as long as it doesn't interfere with natural selection. As Skylar said in the video, there is nothing as complex and perfectly built as the natural elements of this world. However, as long as technological advances do not take the place of humans as they are today, I feel okay with it. I worry that for as many new ideas and innovative thinking there is with technology just how long it will be until those are the only jobs available to us.

My first experiences with technology dates back in the early 80's when the phone was always attached to the wall by a cord and the tv was a wide box that sat on floor. There were no computers in our homes, no emailing, no texting while driving, no game systems, no answering machines (yet). It wasn't until about 1986 or 87 when technology struck my interest. The gaming system Nintendo was introduced into our home. It would forever change my life and millions of others. Mario Bros. would become our new best friends.
