Major Issues
Over the years, communication and technology has changed dramatically. Technology 100 years ago is extremely different from technology now. 100 years ago, the most they had for technology was a house phone, a television, and a computer. Now we have several different types of smart phones, laptops, desktop computers, Ipod's, Ipad's, several different types of tablets, etc. This has affected the world in many ways. Kids aren't getting out as much as they did 100 years ago. 100 years ago, you would see kids out everywhere, but now, you hardly even see anybody out actually socializing. If you grew up the 1800's or the 1900's and you're lucky enough to still be alive, that person would be shocked to see the change in a society. People today believe that bigger is better. They believe that there always has to be something new. And that's not how the world should work.
Technology. The one thing in life people nowadays can't seem to go without. Over the years technology has gone to extreme levels. There are some ups and downs with technology being the way it is. The bad in it is that we humans have become so dependent on technology to do everything for us. Like with giving us directions or giving us a recipe. But with the bad there always has to be a good. Technology has helped us humans become smarter I guess you could say. In the picture to the right, it says that 8-18 year old's in the U.S spend one quarter of their media time using multiple media. And that's true. For me, I use many different types of media. My Ipod touch, television, computer, phone. The amount of time teens spend using media is crazy. We depend on technology so much that most people wouldn't be able to get by without have a phone or Ipod by their side 24/7.
