Networks and Communication


Technology is everyday use. People of any ages will use technologies like computers, cell phones, tablets, and etc. They would use the technology to communicate with people from close or far. Some advantages of having technology like email, text, Instant Messenger, Skype since these were made for people so they can talk to other people from far away like United States calling to China using Skype. People can just text a few words and they will not have to waste phone calls. They can send documents or anything to someone with email instead of bringing a lot of documents to them; people can send pictures to their friends or families to share instead of waiting until the pictures are printed and text can say something that they cannot say when they are facing the person. Some disadvantages of having technology are people will become shy and unable to talk to people face to face, people's health will get bad because their eyes will get bad and people will gain more weights because they would stay at home and text friends instead of hanging out with them and go walk out, and texting will distract people from doing other things. Texting people will harm themselves just like in this article "Texting woman falls  in fountain, files lawsuit", people will get distracted due to texting instead of looking at what is around them. I think people who are driving should try to park somewhere to answer their text before anything bad happens, or people should ad block to their spam.

  1. I agree with you. I think that I am also becoming very shy and it's getting harder to communicate in person nowadays because of Siri and many other applications. I also agree when you say that people get distracted while texting and not pay attention to what's happening around them. I think people need to use apps such as "Speech-to-text" or other apps to be more productive and cautious while communicating via technology.

  2. With the advent of the digital age and printers, we really have no need to go to photo development at the pharmacy anymore. Kodak is on its last leg, if they are not bankrupt already.

  4. Iv heard that cities are starting to make laws that will prohibit people from walking while texting in public areas because it is dangerous.

  5. I am in total agreement with your point about declining eye health due to overuse of technology. As people shift from books to e-books and spend their days staring at the screen of a tablet, laptop, desktop, television and smartphone eye problems are becoming an epidemic.
