Honestly, what is technology?

College Composition 2

I have a few questions about college composition 2, is it harder than college composition one? Will you be visiting our class again? Are their older people in this class? Is there any group projects this year? I am not very good at writing papers, although college composition one helped with that. I am afraid I will fail this class, I have heard people failed college composition two more than one. I am overall exited to be doing another semester with you, Steve, because you are very good at lesson planning and making sure if anyone has questions you are easily reachable. I am also excited to be doing another collage class in high school just in case I want to go to college someday.

Impact on American Culture

Ever since digital technology became a “must have” in America, people have been communicating through a screen. This was great for people who wanted to communicate over a large distance, but not for people in the same room. Digital technology gave people the opportunity to communicate with anyone in the world and to share their life, but unfortunately people waste their opportunity and instead use it as an excuse not to talk to someone face to face. Many times I have seen two people in the same room have a conversation over text. I believe digital technology has had a negative impact in American culture. It causes people to hide behind a screen and not face their problems head on.

What Devices Do I Use? How Often Do I Use Them?

I mostly use my phone, but I use a laptop for school related things. I use my phone every day. On average I use my phone seven hours out of a day. I am never on my phone during school, but as soon as I get home I get out my phone and watch Netflix, once I’m done with my homework of course. I share a laptop with my dad that I use only for writing papers. I was never one to watch television so I stick to watching Netflix on my phone.

How Does Digital Technology Effect My Life?

I use digital technology every day. I use my cell phone to set an alarm to wake me up in the morning. I use my phone to communicate to my family and friends. I use Instagram to post selfies and get attention. I use snap chat to send photographic messages instead of texting. I use technology to look up questions I have on the internet. I couldn’t imaging having to look things up in a book because I have grown up with google.
