Schwegman In Class Writing #1

Technology is a huge role in my everyday routine, especially when I first wake up. My alarm clock is my cell phone. Before I get out of bed, I check all my texts messages received during the night and respond. Then I check my Facebook for any new notifications and I also check my Twitter timeline. Also, anytime I go near a computer my Facebook is always checked.

I define technology as a continuously growing field. It is also something that is very beneficial to our society and daily life, but it is also something that is a distraction in our everyday life.

Technology gives me a short cut when I'm thinking, reading, or writing. Instead of thinking through something I can look it up online. This hurts my critical thinking processes that could have been better developed if it wasn't for technology. Also when writing(typing) or reading papers on the computer I am distracted because I am just a click away from finishing initial goal when I started on the computer.

I have no idea what is means from digital objects vs analog objects.

Characteristics of a "digital native" can be someone who was raised in a digital world and also in fluent when it comes to technological problems.

A "digital immigrant" is someone who has grown up without any type of modern technology and struggles to conform to society's growing dependency on technology.
