The word technology sometimes leads to confusion.
Actually, many people think of really funky machines when they come across it. The idea that a pen represented technology in the past or many other simple services created to satisfy people, does not really spring to mind at first.
I have mixed feelings about technology because I love the things new toys can do, but at the same time, I love the old ones. I used to play up the trees and now I see children who don’t leave their homes and sit for too long.
Anyway, regarding technology I think the first one is my mobile phone. That is for a very simple reason. I like the idea of integration. For me to have a camera the music I like and a diary with the numbers of people I want to ring, is really good. I can't believe I used to memorize so many numbers! My brain must be deteriorating big time nowadays. The best part of it is the organizer. This is the only way I get to pay bills on time, send an invoice "boleta" on certain dates; etc. got it in 2012 and use it all the time.
The second item I'd like to mention is the external disc drive. I think when you have lost all your info because your PC died or because you got it stolen or whatever reason, it can be really tragic. That is why I learnt we need to save info on a safe place that "ideally" will not collapse or disappear. I have complete books, whole albums of good music, and lots of documents that have taken me hours to download or write myself and don't want to lose. I don't remember when I got this, but it was long ago. Could I live without them? Hell yeah! I would have to get used to it, that's all.

I totallly agree, it's really sad to see the children now, because they never play together like the old games that involves running and hidding, now they just have their laptops and tablets and they are happy... really sad.
ReplyDeleteThe external disc drive is one of the new best inventions,I think. I need to buy one of them, I don´t know how I lived without them because a lot of my information is lost on differents computers and mails. I'm so messy.
ReplyDeleteis totally true! sometimes we thinks that technologyc is good for everybody but sometimes it isn´t.
ReplyDeletewe should live with less of technologyc in our life.
I disagree in some point with you, about smartphones, I have an aversion with these machines, cause I think people became too obsessed with them, sometimes I'm talking to people and they start looking to his cellphone all the time while others talk to them, its like the virtual friendship its getting more important that real friendship.
ReplyDeletetechnology makes our lifes easy but at the same time becomes more lack and comfortable people
ReplyDeletei also apreciate the fact that we can have all that aplications in just one stuff!
ReplyDeleteThe external disc it s so cool, if you laptop explode you have support your information, photos, music and antoher things on this external disc -i try support my works on my disc, but I forget all the time...-
ReplyDeleteBeatriz,Two years ago I had a very old fashion mobile phone and even if you don´t belive it I always said that I didn´t needed to change it for a smartphone, but when someone gave me as a birthday present my windows phone I was very happy and it became something really neccesary to me.
ReplyDeletei think it's not really good that technology makes life easy
ReplyDeleteI think that technology can make amazing things and help us in every kind of stuffs that we must to do daily, but at the same time, I think the same too about what the kids are doing now, sitting for a long time in front of a Tv or cellphones It's not good for them, I think that the parents have to work in that part and don't let the kids spend to much time playing with that things, they have to work together!
