gains losses technology

shared by gabriel reid on 24 Jan 11 - No Cached
  • sharing of resources among institutions of widely varying size, endowment, focus, and stature. Similarly, the economical development, maintenance, and use of materials for interdisciplinary approaches, like the way networked hypertext resources create course and institutional memories, has enormous appeal for many.

      this article has a connection to Anderson's text because not only does Anderson show s through his creative writing that there are the good sides to the advancing technology but there are the bads to and this article also explains the same thing
  • such as have always happened with shifts in technological and informational paradigms. Plato rightly feared the devaluing of memory by those who read and write, and those who earlier feared the democratizing effects of earlier changes in information technology, such as those introduced by books, copy machines, and calculators were, from their point of view, absolutely correct.

      Andersen's text also shows us how thing in future technology can decrease our intellect and this article also suggests that to a certain degree.

    this article is about the advancing technology in Brown University and how there are some things that are gained from advancing technology. this article is also about even though there are things gained there are also things that are lost in exchange for theses gains

      the pros for having the ability to have schools online is for those people who don't have time in the day to go out and go to school.

  • 110,000 online students
  • half its total student body
  • With your pajamas snug, your feet clad in bunny slippers, and a tub of ice cream on the desk, your computer glows in front of you. The clock reads 2 a.m. In other words, time for class.

      Hah! Time For Class! This is inspiring people to be lazy to get what they want. Do think sitting around wearing women's bunny slippers at night is a good way to spend your class time? Online school seems to be inspiring kids to sit around getting fat and avoiding classmates all in the comfort of their own home!

    This shows the dependency for technology the world is developing. That we as a nation are willing to substitute interaction through out the school day with online learning.
  • Victor Shen on 18 Feb 11
     
    The idea of the On Line schooling is great because people can save time and doing the school work at home, but in another way, people will be controlled by the technology,like the people in the book feed was controlled by the feed

  • I think our obsession with rather expensive convenience gadgets is bordering on ridiculous.

      Lany Miller on 17 Feb 11
       
      Everyone's obsession with technology is going crazy, every year some new technology is coming out and it's supposedly better than the device before. In feed they got so advanced that they implanted a feed in everyone's brain and it tells the person whenever some new trend is hot. In the book and in reality people are becoming too obsessed with technology.
  • Obviously modern day iPods and their accompanying devices aren’t taking over our sprawling civilizations

      The new technology isn't taking over exactly, or yet, but it has the capability to do so. Technology is good for us, but sometimes it can get a little too hectic.

  • If there was any doubt that computers and technology are taking over the lives of Americans, it was dispelled Monday by two studies -- one noting that most Americans spend more time with their computers than with their spouses, the other revealing many drivers are e-mailing and instant messaging while driving.

      just like the feed technology is taking over the human mind.  In the book they have the feed all of the time because it is in there minds.  Today people are spending more time with technology than doing there every day activities and/or their families
  • "Technology is one of the greatest DWD culprits," the insurance firm said, noting that younger drivers are most likely to drive while multitasking.

  • I felt, that a common man has reached to a state that he is not able to live without electricity as every office is involved with the work related to electricity. Everyone almost will tend to suffer if there is no electricity.

      true the humans are in the state that can't live without the electricity, because are highly dependent of technology that use electricity. the computer don't work if is not charge and the mans that work in office they will not work because they do not know how to work differently without computer.
  • I would like to say that we should also learn to live and make ourselves capable enough to live in the absence of technology. Always depending on something or someone will reduce our own skills and talents.
    • john peacen

      this relate to the book because everything is technology they can't do thing. but is more terrible because they have this program in the brain.

    the articulo describe how the people are very depend of electricity. this bring. how the human are depend technology lost the ability to survive by itself.

      lets face the facts, there are some nasty and sketchy people in the world. its best to avoid the ones that are up to no good.there should be a guideline to tell the teen to know ahead of time whether or not there is a danger rather than learn the hard way.

      Students should be able to talk to their parents when ever they have a problem in any situation.
  • Jonathan McDavid on 18 Feb 11
     
    the feed exists today as it does in the book feed. only a down graded version. through chat rooms the youth find it very adicting to talk to other people online. but there are many problems with this. for example, DRAMA. sometimes it is easyer to get in a violently verbal argument on a computer rather than talk like that to a person in real life, alowing the person(s) being angry to display their true colors. similarly there is much cyber bulling with isolation, teasing, and other wrong behaviors that people typicaly only do because " they can."

    the wonders of technology. no matter what you do it only advances. as shown in this article there are computers and machines that can work, almost, like a robot. with the help of this new tech it can cause some simpler and easyer surgrys. in regards to the book feed, technology there is beyond what we can do now. but because of these "robots", with each day we, in the present time, get closer and closer to a similar future.

    i think thats really cool that we can to do that it just makes me wonder if robots are going to take over the medical field if they can just program the robot to do it for them with out issues.
