"Unfortunately most of what the up and coming generation knows is pertinent to technology., whereas the older generations (older than mine) were well versed in a plethora of knowledge. I'm jealous."
Tech use in people under the age of 30. Agree/Disagree; discuss your own tech use.
In response to this comment, I'd have to say that I can both agree and disagree with the writer. Since I'm categorized as being a tech user under the age of 30, and the writer is as well, I feel like I can relate easily to them. I too am jealous of the older generations for their "plethora of knowledge". I feel as if many the people in the older generations can do a lot of things by hand, where as we're used to having applications or wikipedia for whatever problems we have. Be that as it may, I'm glad that I was born in a generation of electronics users. Technology is the future. The use of technology is our means of survival. Being able to use and operate technologically advanced items can help with getting jobs, increasing productivity, and going through your every day life at ease.

Hi, writers!
And thank you for inviting me to your blog, where I hope you'll be very comfortable "thinking through" this course together.

question 1
1. It is very hard now in this new age of technology to hold a conversation with anyone without a device of some sort in there hands. I remember writing notes to express how you feel when you were nervous to speak now with the unlimited texting and the all the social medias out there. A conversation is just a key stroke away. No movie date or the old fashion ring the doorbell to meet your parents anymore. They will text you once they have pulled up outside to summons you to come out of the house. Now the agree to disagree is my opinion of this matter because I can find some good in the unlimited texting and such. But their can be some type of discipline when it comes to these device. I have it bad with my cell and or social media site. I love to post and chat, I am a texting kind of girl if its textable than don't call me kind of thing. It is very easy to lose focus on the individual, or a simple text becomes an disagreement, and a general post of social media becomes a political debate.

Question 1- Adam Sanchez
The sad part is this app has already been invented, and it is called Yik Yac. On YIk yac you have the ability to post anonymously and people browse different post and up vote the post they like. The browser also has the ability to comment on the post and say what ever they would like and people also have the ability to up vote these comments. In my personal experience people have been hateful and cruel in the attempt to be humorous. In this quest to be funny they can cause serious problems for people who are actually trying to talk about a serious subject. For this reason I have unloaded the app and discourage my friends who ask me what I think of it. I am all about first amendment rights, but there is a point where you should consider people's feelings when talking to people.

Question #2 - Michael Baffa
I disagree with the statement because technology can allow people to explore all kinds of knowledge. People of the younger generation can get the same information that you would find in a newspaper or a magazine by going onto Facebook, Twitter, Google, and many other sites. Technology makes endless amounts of information available to a lot of people. I would actually argue that people today know more information than people of older generations.

2. Younger generations stay glued to electronic devices twenty four hours a day. We live through our phones and computers, only communicating with each other when necessary. Technology has become such a way of living that it has even entered school systems and affected the way in which students are taught information. Without the use of the internet younger generations would have no idea how to look up information or even any way to find answers to simple problems. No one bothers to read for enjoyment anymore but rather scroll through pictures in free time. I am jealous of older generations because unlike our younger generations, they actually hold knowledge within them because of their necessity to learn. They were not offered ways to cheat by quickly looking up a question on the internet, but rather spend the time to find a particular book and looking up the correct information allowing the knowledge to settle in more deeply. They have learned to comprehend with long term rather than younger generations very short term spurts of knowledge and comprehension.
