6. Technology everywhere.

Well, the technology certainly has been one of the most relevant elements in the last two decades, and I think everyone agrees with that. The development of new technologies and electronic appliances with connection to the network has rapidly increased in the last years, and even little kids use them. (my one year old niece already likes to watch videos from youtube and play with things connected to internet!).

An example of what my niece watch

I myself spend a great part of my day with technological products: mi handheld console, mi personal computer, and my cellphone, and every one of them have connection to the network and play a role in my daily activities. For example, my personal computer let me read the news (since I don’t buy newspaper), know different types of information related to my career, classes and hobby’s  and to write the tasks that the teachers give me in the semester (like this blog). Also, it allows me to communicate with friends that I don’t see often, play online games and watch series from other countries, among other things. My handheld console, being connected to the network, let me play games that I own with people around the world, and my cellphone allows me to communicate con people when my computer isn’t available.

I think that without internet my daily life would be a lot more complicated (for a few days I didn’t have internet in my house and it was a hellish experience...), because almost everything I do now is related to it, and even if I don’t want to use it the circumstances around me force me to use it. In that sense, even if it is very useful, it doesn’t make me feel powerful, it makes me feel tied or constrained, and even dislike a little that everything now has to be done by that medium, so I try from time to time to spend less time connected to the network and do other thing, like to play with my ferret and read a book con the A song of fire and ice series.
