Have your parents or friends ever gotten mad at you because you are always on your phone, or listening to music through your ipod, or always on your laptop? Well this happens to me very often. My parents are always getting on me about texting and being on Facebook for most of the day. Mobile technology has taken over society. Our mobile devices have a huge impact on the way we communicate and how we go about our everyday life. Most youth, all they talk about is the next phone or ipod they will be getting. A lot of them just want one to be cool but there are others who like me look for the phone with the most features that will support the things I do every day. There are so many different types of mobile technology today. Today, almost everyone has either a cell phone, laptop, ipod/mp3 player, or even a ipad or tablet PC. Before the 90s people had to survive without the technologies that we have in this day and age. In our present day it seems like one day cannot go by without some sort type of mobile technology being used. This can be a good thing and it can be a bad thing. It can be good for business because employees and clients are constantly communicating, but it can be bad for family if everyone is neglecting each other because they are constantly on their phone or laptop. Is mobile technology enhancing our lives and our society or is mobile technology more of a distraction than an enhancement?
I picked this topic because it affects our everyday life. Mobile technology allows people to be "plugged in" to what is going in the world and society at any moment. Most people like to be "plugged in" to everything that is going on with friends and family so it is sometimes hard to turn off the phone or not look at emails. In this blog I will be discussing things like the history of mobile technology, different types of mobile technology, the pros and cons of different mobile technology, and the positives and negatives of the way mobile technology is used in society today. My goals for this blog are to educate you, keep you informed on new and emerging technology, share my thoughts and feelings on different information that I find in my research, and to educate myself with my research. I hope you find it useful and resourceful.
