technology

In this modern life, we face technology at every moment and now we cannot live without technology. This technology, now, is making new trend such as Ipod and a part of culture which people who use that technology live in. This relationship between man and technology goes back to when people begun to use stones and fire. At that time, the reliance of people on tools wasn’t like these days.
I, as living in nowadays, depend on technology much. It starts from when I wake up to when I go to bad. For example, the alarm clock on my desk wakes me up in the morning. Then I drink milk including Ca in a fridge and microwave food. After then I leave house with Mp3 player and take CTA train. In the classes, I use computer, copying machine, elevators and vending machines. After school, I like to watch TV programs and talk to my parents on the phone.
Most of them around me are necessary. However some are luxuries. For example, electric shaving machine is convenient, but I can use a razor instead of machine. Some of technology is really useful and necessary, and some are just luxuries.
In the future, I can draw a picture that people can control everything by thinking about them. The technology which can read people’s mind will be developed and people might don’t need to use their remote control. Also, devises will be smaller and compacted.
Now we can’t think our lives without technology. We can’t go work and can’t have food, medicine, house and electricity. Life may go back to the Stone Ages. I really take advantage of technology well, and the necessity of technology is too important for words.

Technology is very important for us in this society. Very day, we have to use
a lot of technology. Very day I watch TV, listen to music, use the internet and
print my homework. I think the computer is necessary for me, because I have
to do my homework, I can read some news on the internet, and I can also
listen to the music online. For me, something like Ipod music players and
some game players are just luxuries. If there aren't any technology in my life, I
would be very bored, and I can't know the events in the world, I can get a good
grade because I can't print out my homework. There are many kinds of new
technology in the world, and I think the medical technology will be developed
next, because human need it the most. Technology is a benefit in my life.
When I need to need to know some information, I can search on the internet.
That is very easy and fast. Technology and popular culture are connecting
with each other. Because every in our life, needs to use technology. For
example, to rebuild the World trade center in New York, we need a lot of
technology. If acrtist want to be famous, they have to use technology.

I am dependent on technology very much. If I live without technology, it would like fish live without water. Consequently, I use technology everyday. Personal computer and portable music player are used daily in my life. PC is absolutely necessary to me. I often use it to access Blackboard and download my homework assignments. Then I do my assignments on my computer, and print them out with printer. Furthermore, I often use computer to check email and search information and reference on Internet. Computer is necessary to me, but portable music player isn’t essential to me. I used to listen to music with the portable music player when I was on bus or train. When I heard headphones can damage people’s hearing, I stopped listening music with it. Now, I put my portable music player somewhere in my bedroom and never use it. It becomes inessential and luxury to me. Generally, some technology is inessential to us, but some technology is absolutely necessary to us, we can’t live without it. For example, if my computer is removed, I can’t do my homework assignments and can’t check email. Furthermore, I can’t get the up-to-date information because I often watch news on Chicago Tribune’s website; consequently, I will get lost in the digital century if I don’t have computer. In addition, I will be out-of-date because Internet mirrors and influences popular culture. Overall, technology is a benefit in my life.

Can we live without technology in today’s world? I think that is impossible. Our lives are connected to technology more than we thought, there are many things that make are lives easier and faster. For example the computer allows us to communicate with people all around the world, and that apply specially for me because my family live in another country, and I use the computer to communicate not just with my family, but with my friends. I used technology a lot every single day, and I can say that my life is so involved with technology, since I wake up I am using technology, such us the alarm clock, my CD player, light, and many other things. It is so amazing how much are lives have changed in the last years, technology has improved are lives a lot, making are world more comfortable.
We do not need a lot of the things that technology gives us, and in most of the cases technology become a luxury for us, something that we want to have just because it is getting popularity, such as IPods and other devices. But in some cases technology is necessary and really useful in our lives, the best example for this is education, in today’s education world technology especially computers are necessary to accomplish and success in college.
There are many devices, which I cannot live without them, such as phone, CD player, TV, and transportation. Since I came to this country I started to use technology more than ever in my life, I had always tried to be away from technology just because I did not consider it necessary, but my family is far away and through technology I can be connected with them all the time, I can know what it is going on in my country and talk to my friends a lot. That is how I found technology really helpful and important in my life.
Technology is one of the things that have connection with popular culture, connection that I found really deep. Technology is all around us and we can find it in every single thing. We use technology to make movies, to listen to music, to fly, to communicate, to create things, and to make cloth. As you can see we find it in all of the icons of popular culture, through technology

we make possible popular culture, technology help popular culture to success and pass generation to generation having access to it no matter how much time has passed.
Technology in some ways controls our lives and it is our job to become aware of that, and start to give to technology the use that we are suppose to give it, with knowledge and not just for luxury.

Today, most people are so dependent on technology, of course I am not a exception. I use a cell phone, an iPod, a television, a stove, a car, a train, a laptop, a lamp, a microwave, a refrigerator, and others that I cannot think now everyday. I think a cell phone, a lamp and a train are necessaries and others are just luxuries to make me live more easily. If I don’t have those items that I se everyday, then my life would be hard and bored. A car helps me to go anywhere that I need and want to go, a microwave and a refrigerator make food’s taste good and other items make my life not to be bored.
I think I am living in the century that all technology is developed. I don’t think there is more ideas to develop or make new technology. It is just getting easier to use and a nice looking from a original technology, but something very new stuff that we never use before. The technology makes my life very comfortable and happy. For example, I love to listen music and iPod helps me to do that at anywhere at anytime. Technology is connected to popular culture in many ways. I always read and watch news online, I can shop for clothing online, and I can even buy groceries online now.

It’s hard to imagine our life without technology in these days. Everything around us connected with technology. It’s like the air that we take grant for its existence. It’s same in my life. I think that I can’t survive without technology. For example, I make my music with computer, not with real instruments. All the things that I use when I make music are technology. Then let’s count out all technologies in a day that I use. When I wake up, I drink water in the fridge. And I take a shower with running heated water, I check e-mail, take a bus… It’s even hard to list because all of my life connected with technology. It might be easier to list not connected with technology. However, we all know that all the things aren’t necessary in our life. For example, a dish washer is so luxury in my life. Just use your hands lazy women! It might be necessary to others, but not to me. It’s complicate to judge which technology is necessary or not because it depends on the situation the people live. For me, MP3 player is necessary even if many people don’t agree with. Without music, I can live, but I don’t want to live without music. So it’s necessary in my life. One day, I read a book about simple life by David Thorou, which was about he built his house without any technology by himself. His belief was “Simple life”. That means, we all can live without technology, but after using them, we became lazy and didn’t want to lose them because of its conveniences. So he gave up all of his life, went to the mountain and lived in his house which he made by himself. I totally agree with that. We all can live without them in at point that all of technologies are disappeared. It will be big changes; no newspaper, no TV and no cars. It can be fun in my opinion. It means that my life will be little more annoying. But our lives are going to be healthy and safe. We even don’t know about our neighbors. Our life is too desolated. It’s all because of the technology. With it, my life is more convenient, but there are also many problems. Anyway, technology is changing every day. If I buy a brand new laptop now, it also means my new computer is out of date. Day by day, it’s getting developed. That’s the reason that pop culture and technology are connected. People have feeling that they don’t want to be left behind. If there come new I-pod, everyone interest in that. It’s connected with fashion and trend. The desire of people that don’t want to be left behind link pop culture with technology.

REFLECTION 5 : TECHNOLOGY

It’s was one year ago when I just arrived U.S, every time I take a train go to HWC for my ESL classes and I always saw some people in the train with the Ipod.. Then I started to think whether I should buy one Ipod like them or not by my curiousness. So, now I know how is the interesting of Ipod because I have one.
In some way, I can say: in my daily life there are some technologies that I depend on and also need them a lot such as my alarm clock, cell phone, computer, Internet, microwave, rice cooker and television. I do not have enough courage to imagine how is difficult and for one day if do not have or lost those kind of that technologies. As I feel that technology; they are one of the parts of my daily life. Example, alarm clock helps me to be on time everyday for school, the cell phone helps me for some emergency cases that need to be informed, Internet helps me for homework, and microwave makes my stomach happy.
I know that if without those kind of that technology; I can still survive and still live. But my daily life could be more a bit difficult and uncomfortable in the way that they are. Such as I still have to go to school on time everyday even without the alarm clock; but it would be difficult for me to wake up without the alarm clock. For some high and luxury technology like plasma TV, digital 3D game, digital camera…most of people love and wish to have that as their value and high quality technology would make our needs up grade to better quality and more comfortable with good enjoyment; if I have much more money then I love to buy and have that. I think the technological telecom will be developed a lot more next and in future. Every technology has its own advantage or disadvantage or its own good benefit or bad value; just if human can know how to use or and take a good advantage of technology that absolutely help and make our human life better and more comfortable.
In addition, the technology also connects and influences not only to our daily life
but also a lot to pop culture such as the I pod’s trend spread out from nation U.S to all over the world by young generation’s mode, or Sony PlayStaion Game I/II /III make over
and over people from kids till adult attracted and crazy by some games are based on some true famous Icon Pop Culture as super stars, singers or pop events…etc.
