How do you use Technology?

So the whole point of technology is to provide us with hours of entertainment via video games, movies, miscellaneous web video clips and instant messaging friends, right? It simply can't be used for anything else, certainly nothing productive.

Lets think about this. Really, what role does technology play in your life. Is it simply for entertainment, or does it have other uses? Consider all the ways you use technology, whether it be your video game system, computer, mp3 device, cell phone or some other personal electronic device. How do you use each of these devices you own? Do you get the most out of all of its features? Could you live with out one, some or all of these devices?

Lets take it a step farther: What impact do these devices have on other people and society as a whole? How does the use of these devices facilitate or hinder your interaction and collaboration with other people?

  2. The internet is one of our most advanced and complex technologies, that affect billions of people. Currently, almost all of America is tied in some way to the internet. Banks, stores, coorporations, our personal documents, our music, artists, musicians, advertisers, the police, the FBI, and even the CIA use the internet, come from the internet, or are in some other way dependant upon it. This makes the web more a more important technology than just a way to play some games, or entertain ourselves with...well, you get it.
