Q : Do you agree that technology changes who we are? Explain whether these changes ares negative or positive.
A. I do think that technology changes who you are because you can say stuff that you probably don't in real life because you are not afraid of getting in trouble that very moment since you are not face to face. I feel that most of those changes are negative because without thinking about it too much, you are probably more in touch with technology than your real environment that is around you. That might make you think that the real world is just there and you don't really need it even though it will affect you more than whatever you do on the computer or on a phone.
Q: What does "alone together" mean to you?
A: To me, "alone together" means that you feel alone but you publish that feeling with other individuals on the internet or some other technology, and the result is that you are not the only one who is alone anymore. I also think that it means that if you are with your friends or family, but instead of connecting with them, you are busy on your phone or other device which means that you could be in a room full of people but not feel as if you belong unless you have some form of technology in your hands.
Q: Do you think you are the same person when you text/email/comment that you are in real life? Why or why not? Explain.
A: I actually do think that someone is not the same person when they are texting/emailing/commenting then when they are in real life. I think that because I've even noticed first hand that when you talk to someone or see someone at school, you notice that they are probably the shy type and they don't talk as much, but then when you talk to them online, they become a whole different person and say things that you wouldn't expect. I think that people think that since they are behind a computer screen, that they can do whatever because they have no fear about getting in trouble.
Q: Would you rather text than talk in a conversation? Why or why not? Explain your thinking.
A: I would rather talk in a conversation than text because I feel that whenever I am talking to someone online, if there is a mistake in the conversation, its hard to fix a misunderstanding and then you just feel really frustrated. I hate whenever that happens. I would rather be talking face to face because that way there are less chances of getting confused of conversations. Also, sometimes its hard to be sure of who you are really talking to because you really don't have proof about who is behind the screen and when you are face to face, you know for sure who is it that you're talking to.
Q: Do you agree that technology is a form of companionship? Explain.
A: No, I do not think that technology is a form of companionship because technology is not something which is human. It is made by humans which causes it to not have their own emotions or feelings. Whatever the technology is saying or doing, is programmed because technology is something which does not have a mind of its own. It does not offer your companionship, only a feeling which lets you know that someone or something is listening to you.
