My thoughts on social technologies



Hello everyone,

This video above is a great example and eye opener to the problems we are going to soon be facing. We have a lot to change in our future if we want to make it as bright as those who are older than us. Adults now days are not use to having all the social networks we have and adapted to. Many adults all they have is an email. This researcher’s say is the best way to go in life, with only an email.

Many researchers believe that because within the recent years Americans have been going through a lot of economical tough times. Many Americans do not have jobs and I believe one reason is due to social networks. I believe that many social networking websites are to blame. So many people get caught up in there social networks they forget about the real world. In an article I read they said that in a few years we will have lost all of our communications skills.

Though people argue we gain a lot to form social networks, all I can say is it is nowhere equal to what we lose. Like I said earlier we will lose our communication skill because we will be used to just talking through a computer. Also, this will affect us getting a job. No one wants someone who has no communication skills. Also, you can be really tough on the web but can’t always back up your actions. Also, you can post a lot of inappropriate things on these networks. You have to decide how you want to be perceived. And just think is it worth losing your job or future over?

  1. I really love the video! At first I was shocked and didn't like it, but as it progressed and turned the words around I agreed with every word. Your argument counteracts what I say about cell phones. However, I do agree with your statements and it is a really moving topic that everyone should be thinking about.
