Information overload og teknologi

It is true that technology rules today’s world and the now living generation. That’s a fact.

Once I asked my father, how it was to grow up in the late 50’s without any kind of modern technology; without email, mobile phones, television and such things. And he told me that he miss it, because people at that time was more together, they talked with each other, it was a more social society back then. Sometimes I dream about if I could travel back in time and experience how it would be like, to live without the technology we have today. There are so many things in the world I want to try and see, but in a way, some of the technology stops me. Because it’s easier just to lay back at home and turn on the television. For an example, if you want to see Africa, you can just switch channel to Discovery Channel at the television and watch how it is in Africa. The generation before us, would had spared money for a travel.

Do you agree with the points raised be the journalist?

I think that the journalist who has written the article is right and I agree with the points in it. We are able to get the admission ticket to every website we want to go into. Just one press at “Enter” and we’re in. We can communicate with people all over the world, even persons we don’t know and perhaps never are going to meet. And if we have an appointment with friends, family, whatever, we arrange it through the internet, Facebook for an example. And who doesn’t have a profile at Facebook? It has been made a kind of standard that every friend and family of yours has a Facebook profile. Facebook has become one of the most popular websites in the world. And why that? What does it have to get so many people use it? Actually the owner of Facebook had in a time talked about making it a payment website because of the overflow of profiles.
