Technology and Thinking

         

         Technology is a great thing but yet can be a bad thing at the same time. I do believe that with all the advanced technology products that this has put peoples thinking to a minimum, at least it has mine.

          For example I would be so lost without my cell phone. I use it for everything such as a calculator, surfing the web, checking my email, and for a planner. Cell phones use to be just for making calls but now have almost any and everything possible on them that you would need. I also tend to do a lot of texting instead of calling someone. I think it’s much easier to send a message and get your answer instead of having to talk to the person.

          Also without Google I would be clueless about several things. Anytime I am in a conversation with someone and we need to know something or don’t know the meaning of a word, I always look to Google. I go to the extreme of googling words on my radiology reports whenever I have a test done. I always say, “Google never lets you down.”

          However with all of these social media sites available, such as Facebook, it gives people the opportunity to reconnect with old friends which is a good thing but sometimes can turn into something bad. I have a friend that is getting stalked by someone she doesn’t even know and has blocked him but he still finds a way to find her.
