Hmmmm.... okay, so i'm just now getting the hang of postmodern theories and now there's a next step?!
So the video we watched relating to these theories and technologies is quite mind boggling. But I can definitely believe it! There is just so much information out there and there are now so many ways to access it. Decades ago, the idea of the Internet was, WOW! And now it's just no big thang... So what is next"?? Someone is going to have to come up with a new way of organizing and accessing information. The Internet is great, but don't you think that some day it could get overwhelmed with information? That there will be so much to search through it will be inpossible to find what you need? And then when you did, how could you be sure it's true, when anyone and everyone can put their "information" on the world wide web? Just thinking about it is overwhelming... The many convenient ways we can access this information is awesome though. There's no way that everyone with Internet access can't find out the latest news, even without trying. However, it is a scary thought that everyone's lives revolve around this sort of technological lifestyle. From t.v. to ipods to cell phones and everything in between, the world is becoming less and less social. Well at least less and less physically social. Soon enough, people aren't even going to need to talk to each other face to face. Okay, that sounds a little extreme, like something we would find in one of our AP Lit novels, but you know what I mean....
So I pretty much got off on a tangent, but I hope you enjoyed my train of thought none the less.

yeah i totally agree with you with how crazy technology and everything is getting. When you really think about it, think of how socially awkward the future generations are going to be. Like you said, they won't need to have any physical contact.With facebook and laptops two people can be in the same room sitting side by side and not say a word but have "deep and meaningfuls" on the computer. I mean talk about no sleep until Brooklyn. :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, how far are we from our AP Lit novels though? It baffles my mind.
well, jessie i hope you feel better with all those drugs blocking off the Substance P away. And maybe those candy will send some endophrine to relief the pain. LOL. Hopefully you become better on Monday. :D
ReplyDeleteOkay, let me get going with your blog. Here's all the cheap and easy things to say. Nice blog, great usage of comparing it to the book. LOL. it's late and i don't want to do this, but i'm your friend so i should give you the best comment in the world.
Alright...yes those tech. stuff could lead to the end of the world. But if it does, why not we just enjoy them right now. I'm sorry but these tech. stuff will live on and on with us forever and will dead after us. It started as the best thing to happen in the world but as we live on with it. It just seems to make life easier. So i really think that it is worth the price. No Pain. No Gain.
