BLOG POST 7: TECHNOLOGY AND ITS IMPACT ON SOCIETY

Hello again!! For this post I have decided to talk about how much technology has overtaken our lives.

how we use technology

Technology has slowly overtaken our everyday lives and it has somehow managed to work its way into everything we do. For example, even in this marketing class that I am writing this blog for, we have to take a quiz every Monday. Now when I tell you we have a weekly quiz you must think pen and paper right? Wrong! Our quizzes for this particular class are done on our computer. The school uses a program called Canvas and each class you are enrolled in for the semester has its own page. The professor is able to use it as much or as little as he or she wants. Our marketing professor chooses to use it quite a bit, so our quizzes are done through this program. 

Another example is our cell phones. Everyday the first thing I do is look at my phone when I wake up, and the last thing I do before going to sleep is the same. I am constantly on my phone, whether it be for checking my texts or for keeping myself updated on social media. I also find that even though I wear a watch everyday, I rarely look at it for the time because I always just look at my cell phone. I even use my cell phone as a calculator when I am doing homework, or out to eat to calculate the tip. 

Plain and simple, technology has become a party of our society and it just keeps getting better... (or is it getting worse?)

new technology

APPLE WATCH:

A cell phone on your wrist....? Really? Yes. Apple has yet again advanced its technology to make something bigger and better.... and more expensive! Remember how I said that I often find myself looking at my phone for the time rather than my watch? Now, I don't even have to take out my phone to look at a text message. Personally, I don't see the point in the watch if you have a cell phone already, but that is just my personal opinion. Our cell phones can do everything that this watch can do, and we are able to put it down and walk away from it if we so please. This is just one example of how technology has continued to advance and integrate into our everyday lives.

BMW i3:

This example just goes to show that even car technology is advancing. A car with no engine? Who knew... Pretty soon everyone will be driving a eco-friendly car. This car is just the beginning of the direction that cars are going to go in. I think its a great idea simply because people are going to jump all over saving the environment. Once a group of people start to buy these cars, everyone will start to buy them.

Thanks again for reading guys! Only 3 more posts left of the semester!!
