In what ways is mobile technology changing our society?
Stu Daly
There are many new forms of mobile technology that have been coming out lately. From skype and webcams to the new smart phones and handheld computers. With all the new technology people are starting to change the way they do things. It makes everything a lot easier and faster which might be good with the fast world that we live in but it could also be bad, we might be come lazy and have technology fix all of our problems and make everything easier.
New technology can be very good for us but it also has its downsides. Its good because it allows us to connect with our friends and family that do not live close to us by skyping or if they have the new iphone 4 facetimeing them. We can also search and find more things faster on the internet and with our phones. A while ago the phone companies were all advertising their 3g networks and I thought that was as far as it was going to go but now all of the phone companies are advertising their 4g networks, I’m just wondering how far it’ll go, 12 g networks? I’ve noticed my life is a lot easier with a smart phone that I have internet on, I can check all my forms of social networking as well as let people know plans faster via texting. My parents can also get a hold of me a lot easier now. I can also check my bank account, and my grades with my phone. I almost don’t need a computer anymore. I think sometime in the future they will invent a device that has everything in one a phone computer and TV all in one little handheld device. Apple has already come close to this with the new ipad all it needs is a phone and a TV and it has everything, and I’m pretty sure there capable of doing that in the near future.
I think that in 10 years everything we do will have some sort of technology involved, in other words technology will run our lives and make it easier for us to live day to day. Whether you like it or not that’s probably what’s going to happen. Your cell phone will be able to drive your car and make dinner for you pretty soon. Everyone has their own opinion on the fact, I’m all for it I think our lives will be much easier with more technology in our lives but others think it will totally change us for the worse. Either way you look at it. Its going to happen.
