In Today World Have We Became Reliant On Technology Than Ever Before ???

In this blog I am going to discus how over time we as human beings have over reliant on the new technology present in today's world. Also I am going to express my opinion about are relationship  with technology.

During my Digital Culture seminar at univ class I saw Google's  new gadget called Project Google Glass. Youtube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSnB06um5r4 when I started watching this video I instantly response to this promotion Google Glass video how lazy we have became in this day in age. For example in the video the user of the Google Glass was using the device to locate a specific book while being in the book shop when could have ask the owner of shop to find it for him. When I saw this I naturally  came up with  the question stated above.

So to answer my own question if we are as a society  to reliant on technology such  as this new device called Google Glass which is  ready to be release early of next year in spring. The gadget  which helps  us do the basic things and in  general makes life easier for us. Its basically an hands free computer system , and in my opinion I think this gadget will do more harm than good for example its quite clear in the video when using theses glasses that you become very focus on them and block out your surroundings what I  mean is that there is so many application present on the Google Glasses is that you can become isolated or withdrawn from the world and your surroundings and I believe theses types of technology will be the cause of  less physical human interacting in the future which is quite very present at the moment in today world.

 For example if you read this  ITV article it shows and agrees with what i have stated above about less physical human communicating and lead to a  negative effect on how we live and are   behaviour http://www.itv.com/news/2012-10-18/tonight-is-technology-taking-over-our-lives/ . So the answer to my question would be yes we are to over reliant on technology and that reliant is turning into an addiction. However  I am aware of  the benefits  or advantages that technology  devices brings like smart phones, tablets and laptops. 

Therefore I would not agree with that technology does help us carried out simple and essential tasks on a day to day basics for example Google Glass allows you  fast access of maps and also documents and videos in a instant.

Please feedback needed !!!!!

Digitization is one the  process  of media change happening in today world. Some say digitization is very useful and we  don't acknowledge how Digitization has mas things easier. For example the way we listen to music has change most teenagers  I have ask would agree that is only a rare occasion that they would buy a CD album just listen to a specfic song track when they could download it or lisen to it on  itunes  from the internet.

My question is that the process of Digitization essential or a luxury I believe it is essentinal a need which helps us in today world. Such as the advantages of digitization are for example the main one is speed and convenient for example a digital libary as we know a digital libary is a  internet libary were a range of
information are stored in digital formats we can be access on the internet. Also an other advantage of digitization is the way digtial format files can be  manipulated by  the computer ands then be duplicated. This process which digitization allows to do. Is used all the time in today world we even take it for granted knowing all theses advantages surely digitization is essentinal without a doubt.

In my opioion  when  I hear the  older generation claiming the digital techlogy we are expose to is a luxary and we must do more with  it in  a postive educational way rather the  normal  bare mininal essentinal tools we need in today world either to use for personal use  such as facebook , twitter or academic use like digital libary to access academic information .

Please feedback and opions need !!!!
