| Topic discussion: Who are we in today's digital age?
This is a topic we discussed in class and it's got me wondering exactly, who are we in today's digital age? What do you guys think? <discuss>
Edit: what it means is the advantages and disadvantages of technology today and/or how significant or insignificant does the technology we have today impact us?

In the digital age we are 1000x more intimate with a person, but yet at the same time, we have never been more distant.
I also think that who we are in the digital age is completely out there in the open, to be perused by anyone.

LOL so basically you want us to do your homework for you...
If you want an example of how important technology is to us today...if you left your house and just pulled out of your driveway when you realize you forgot your mobile phone, would you go back and get it?
That problem didn't exist when I was a kid. Now my 11 year old cousin has an iPhone.
...although to be fair, I gave it to her. | |

My gf is on her Blackberry 90% of the day, and it just bothers me. I still had a brick phone from Sony Ericsson. Got it 5 years ago and it still holds a charge longer then her BB. =]

What is really interesting is how the digital age has influenced a new generation of kids.
We already see children being hardwired into the internet since they were toddlers. Cellphones and facebook is now the norm instead of a privilege. I think back when I was in elementary school, there was no facebook or cellphones that was required to be socially connected. Now kids need these things in order to be included in the digital sphere of their peers. Being connected to the internet is being extensions of themselves in a sense.
It will be interesting to see how this social digital context plays itself out in the next 10-15 years.

Lol you guys, honestly it wasn't a essay/homework/project or something worth marks, unless you're taking summer classes, your semester is pretty much finished.
Thanks to the people that actually responded, since I was hoping to get a debate going. Oh well.

It's scary.
Pro's: everything is at your fingertips
Cons: people are distancing each other
I even deleted my iPhone FB app cause it was so easy to click on FB. If I want to log in now, I need to do it the "hard" way and go through a browser. I notice my fb activity has died down recently cause of it.
What bugs me the most tho, and I'm guilty of this too, is people that have their phones everywhere.
To follow up what was mentioned above, if I'm in the car and notice I left my license behind, I won't turn back. If it's my phone, good chance il bust a U. Posted via RS Mobile | |

As technology improves, we have more ways of interacting with each other digitally. However, at the same time, technology is so intrusive in our lives that there are people who favour interaction through a digital medium than face-to-face.
It's more and more common for a group of friends sitting together to eat and all they do is play games or go on facebook on their iphones and the table is dead silent.
