How Media has Defined a New Generation
Cons of Media and Technology
double edged sword.
left us very dependent and reliant on our cellphones
I resonated with the woman who jumped out on the train tracks to retrieve her phone
Just like her, I would probably go through such lengths to get my cell phone
we all feel like we cannot live without our phones
we have become somewhat of a slave to our phones
have a second of excitement everytime our phone pings only to realize it's a spam notification.
we're always looking for the next best thing, never satisfied
still driving cars that are powered by fossil fuels
gradually moving towards electric cars so we still have a lot to improve on
instead of flying cars, we have kids who are addicted to phones at age 4.
Present day use of media vs. Past use
babies and toddlers having access to media and technology.
new Facebook messenger for children
a child can have their own profile to message and connect to family and friends
you can use it through a parents account so the child doesn't have their own facebook page
who knows maybe b in 3 years time there will be a new social media platform that kids can use.
People are always joking about what we did before phones and technology
we had to talk and interact with each other which nowadays seems wild
who has a conversation where you are fully present with one another without having to look at your phone or anything
Whenever we have family gatherings for holidays the older people like to joke about us young kids being on our phones the whole time but they are also on their phones
Pros of Media and Technology
able to connect to people in amazing ways
use of instagram and tik tok
able to start movements and protest together
bringing awareness around the world
use of social media has become a daily thing in my life
i’m able to connect with people I wasn't able to before
a way into someone’s life
other personal aspect that wouldn't have had access to without social media
posts of people with their friends and family
political views
I see at least three inspirational things regarding the black lives matter movement
I find it amazing that everyone has found a way to connect with one another to achieve great things
Media and technology are constantly changing
Personal Anecdotes
two very young siblings
When I was their age, I had nothing like that
they share an ipad so that they can watch youtube videos on it as a way to soothe them when they're upset in the car
first phone when I was in seventh grade
it wasn't a fancy iphone that every kid has nowadays but it was a slidey phone.
think back to a time when we didn't have phones
what everyone did to keep busy and entertain ourselves
Back to the Future Part 2
thinking it was so cool
still felt pretty far away
we didn't really have the technology that was showcased in the film at the time
watching it recently
knowing that we won’t have futuristic things like flying cars or hoverboards that don’t catch on fire
the future is not as cool as everyone predicted
maybe we have yet to reach our goal of flying cars and slowly working towards it
family trip to the oregon coast
no wifi in the house
can't go on instagram, facebook, snapchat
I can’t let anyone know where i am reacting like it's the worst thing ever
me and my brother had no service
taught me a few things
being present with family
wasn't all about posting on instagram
Played games like slap jack with kids
Ended up visiting tillamook factory to use wifi
