How has technology effected the way we interact with one another?
How has technology effected the way we interact with one another? My question is pretty broad, and it can go many ways. My topic is on technology and how we interact with one another in different ways than when there was little to no technology, or even non at all. I don't mean when people use to write letters and then something better came about. I want to talk about electronics and why we use that form of communication more now, rather than talking in person. My topic is related to popular culture because technology as a whole is one of the most popular things in the world. Technology o has changed everything. We use computers, cellphones, social networks, and email to talk to one another. It seems people feel like texting someone or writing them on facebook or in an email is easier then stopping by that persons home. The age that this is happening keeps getting lower. We also have the option to take online school with no in person teacher/student contact to communicate. I personally think its not a good idea, as well as being impersonal. There is also a choice to rent movies online, or go to redbox, having no contact with a human being. I think some forms of technology are a good thing, most of the points I mentioned have good ideas in them. Like a cellphone, you can call someone if you need them, there good for emergencies, and other things. I would however like to know more about the what age groups buy more into the more non face to face contact, Why they like it, Why the other age groups do not, What other forms of technology communication are there, And how much has it really affected us in the present day.

ReplyDeleteBefore anything else, in your question, "effected" should be "affected" :)
ReplyDeleteOverall, I like your topic a lot, however you should narrow is down. I find it hard to narrow down a question, I was having trouble with my own question. You want to explore a few different aspects of it too. Maybe try something like "How has the appeal and effect of technology altered human interaction within the young generation as compared to the older generation?" Indeed there are pros and cons to all of this technology that we have. I do believe that it is changing the way we interact with one another. I think this is a brilliant topic to discuss, and it very much so deals with popular culture. You seem interested in it so I think you have a great grip on the topic. Nice work and good questions to help explore your research.
I would suggest that you really narrow down your topics. You are focusing on too many things: online school, social networks, and movie renting. You seem to be leaning towards wanting to focus on "communication related technology." You can also research the implications of such communications making us turn towards being less interactive. Focus on the pros and cons of these technologies. Look at which generation is susceptible in using these technologies. So far you seem to know what your essay will look like. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteIt's good that your topic is broad because it gives you a lot to right about, but unfortunately you have to pick one main theme to really focus on for the paper. So maybe just focus on communication rather than mentioning things like Redbox and whatnot. But I can see how it could extend to online schooling. You could even mention the class we're taking right now and how it's only possible with technology.
