As I read this material I couldn't help but reflect on technology and all the various implications it puts on daily life. I feel that as we are living in an age of rapidly expanding technology,''' we tend to forget how fast we are producing, consuming and spending unecessary money on the iPhone 14 that came out 2 months after the iPhone 13.''' I believe we need to accept and embrace technology and its evolution in our culture but at what point do we remember that this is all moving extremely fast? Where are the people that teach us how to edfficiently produce, consume and save in this growing period? I believe the people that we normally look to to teach us (an older generation) is learning at the same pace as people of my generatino are, if not maybe a little slower. I guess I have to face the facts that my generatino will probably be the first generation with an adequate amount of knowledge to teach our children. | As I read this material I couldn't help but reflect on technology and all the various implications it puts on daily life.

| + | One of the parts to this reading that I found to be most interesting was the idea that Americans related technology with something else. They related technology to nature, gender, social class, skill, and god. I realized that in this day and age we still associate these same ideas, we still attribute certain technologies with woman rather than men, we equate a person’s ability to use advanced technology with their education and skill. The type of technology that a person owns, in their profession or in their home is related to the amount of wealth they have (their social class). As we have seen often during this class, technological advancements are more than simply completing the job they were designed for. The technologies have impacted American culture in numerous ways. -Kathleen Mead | ||
