Part 5

not be these photo applications today, but the idea is still the same that the internet has so many options. And once again, I counter the hype, the excitement that goes along with all these options. I am not saying that all internet should be done away with, but I am saying that some things should be eliminated or slowed down or only available but not pressured to use most, or all, of these constantly increasing online media programs. The pressure is great to be connected and literate in all forms of the internet. Maybe postage was slow...but too much technology on the internet takes away from more genuine and thoughtful contact with others.
The world is increasing drastically. There is a video on youtube you should watch to help emphasize this point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpEnFwiqdx8
This is most likely outdated by now. Much of the information may not be the same as of now, but the point is that the world is increasing a lot technologically and becoming more modernized. It is continuing to increase, so we must be careful to still make time for normal human interaction and interaction with the world and creations around us!
I do agree that technology has its perks, and here are a few reasons why having more and more internet usage and technology usage can be beneficial:

1. People can chat online with anyone at any moment. Instant message through the internet.
2. People can use twitter to follow not only friends but businesses. By following a business, people can know the current updates of the company they work for or for the company they would like to work for. People can also follow news companies and get headline updates to learn the latest news without picking up a newspaper or going to the news' website. People only have to go to the twitter page for this update, and then if they want to read the article, they can click a link to go to the news' website and read the entire thing!
3. Facebook is a good tool because old friends can reconnect who may not be in contact anymore. These friends can view photos and keep up on each other's lives on their own time. Sometimes it's hard for friends to call each other or get together because of time schedule differences, but through facebook, you can check out someone's profile/wall at 2 in morning if needed to get important updates on a friend's life!
4. We can store more data, create various documents, presentations, etc.
5. We can find and research information information faster.
6. We can even buy things online.
7.We can pay bills online.
8. We can take better pictures with better cameras.
9. We can carry information and share with us through flash drives & hard drives.
