Do you agree that technology changes who we are? Why or why not? Explain whether these changes are positive or negative.
I agree that this new form of technology is changing who we are. We are able to "transform" into another person and express whatever we want. We're able to feel like someone is listening and we don't feel isolated causing us to feeling better online than having a face-to-face conversation. I believe that these changes are negative but if we use online communication properly, we can turn it into a positive thing.
What does "Alone Together" mean to you?
Alone Together means having that feeling of connection with others but at the same time, you are alone. It gives us the satisfaction of someone listening to us and the feel of "closeness".
Do you think you are the same person when you text/email/comment that you are in "real life"? Why or why not? Explain.
Honestly, I think that I am somewhat the person I am in "real life". I am able to change the "person" I want to be through changing the things I post or send into the way someone I'd want to be would. It gives me the chance to change the perspectives of the way people look at me.
Would you rather text than talk in a conversation? Why or why not? Explain your thinking.
I would rather talk in a conversation rather than texting. Online Communication has given me the chance to see who I want to be and now, all I need to do is talk that way. I'd rather talk because it shows the other person who you really are because you never know, that person might think that you're not the one they're talking to! Talking is much better than texting because it was how we were originally made to communicate and it let's us to truly know each other.
Do you agree that technology is a form of companionship? Explain.
I agree that technology is a form of companionship. It let's us connect to each other, express our opinions and record our knowledge. Technology gives us the feeling of not being alone and the satisfaction of someone "listening" to you. It is an amazing new form of communication for us however, it is changing us slowly; allowing us to change our online images and making people think of you as a different person, depending on how you present yourself. We should learn to learn to take advantage of this new way of communication and personally, I think we are starting to do just that!
