Erika's summary



"The world is growing so fast with the technology and it is taking our lives easier and easier every day. The technology, the internet, cellphone, all the different devices we use every day help us to do a lot of thing for our good. The technology has helped different aspect or areas in the community; it has made huge contributions to the Health Care sector, where we can see the machines or devices that help to identify problems before they become bigger, or to prevent diseases. The communication between the doctor and patience is more effective now. And even the cost of some medical processes have fallen down and are easier to reach.

Regarding to education the benefits of technology have reached the classrooms and they have changed the learning environment. So there are a lot of advantages in the world with the technology, business sector, is another area that has become more profitable.

Another section that has got benefits is the communication. With the use of different devices we can feel close to our friends and families that live far away. But we need to pay special attention to this, because people have been so into the technology that is bringing so many problems too, along with the advantages.

Technology is everything around us, we have had technology since always. Technology can be seen as an extension of our humanity. People think that the devices, phone, social media or internet is the problem, but technology is a reflection of who we are.

As the lecturer in the video said  "the problem is not the content, it's the fact that we are on the screen, we are typing; the problem is not what you do on the phone, it's that you are on the phone"

There were so many interesting information and experiences shared on the video talking about the children with the technology, and how they are developing a multitasking skill.

Cliff Nass said that the way people use the technology will change the development of the brain. The computer companies are creating different devices to make our life easier and we are forgetting to use our memory or different basic skill.

In conclusion the parents need to have control of the way and time their children are using the technology, but they have to be a role model as well"
