In today's society, technology has become a daily part in our lives such as different materials that we use. In this modern day of age, it is becoming a bigger use in the workforce as well in our personal life around us.
In the first article I found it interesting that when they compared paper versus tablet the researchers did not find a major difference in either one of them on which people preferred. It may seem hard to understand since you see everyone on their phones, labtops, ipads, via etc. Devices like these show that technology is evolving and we are using them more and more than paper but this paper shows that either one that was used nothing was significantly better than the other.
The second article was the Teacher Survey which in my opinion before I read it I thought the Tablet survey would be a major impact but turned out to be the same for the paper and tablet. It ties in to how technology is evolving. Devices in the classroom are important and can help with the teaching process and help students learn better as studies has shown. As new objects are being produced, the harder it will be to get jobs because robots or devices are now able to take over. So beginning at a young age for the students can help them get an edge in the work field so they know what to expect.
The third article was based on 25 of the top best inventions ever made by man-kind. These new products have either been released to the public or they are working on them to make better. Either way these products are showing how technology is advancing very quickly and can give you a sense of where the world would look like years from now. Technology is only going to develop faster and better and shows that there is no limit on what the future holds for the society.
The fourth article talks about future technology and devices that are still being discussed on whether or not it will be a part of someone's household and that it will take some time on getting used to.
In Albert Einsteins's quote I am In the middle on both agreeing and disagreeing because the positives are how everything is becoming easier for people and we do not necessarily have to break a sweat for what we are trying to do. Machines are becoming useful to do the work for people and the researchers and scientists who are inventing these are smart and getting creative with things that open the world's eyes on what is in store for the near future. The downside is since everything will become easy for people they take advantage and become lazy with the lives and are not as knowledgeable since they do not look at their surroundings simply because they are too involved in their devices when walking from place to place. Face to face conversation is slowly dying and we are not enjoying life around us.
I totally agree with your point regarding the double sides of technology. Technology serves as a convenient tool to facilitate life; on the other hand, do we use it properly in our life?--we have so many false information on Internet.
ReplyDeleteAnd, how the educational apps employ in an efficiently manner is also a perspective teachers need to take into account!
From my observations, technology use affects human interactions in a more or less degree!
