Use of technology

I just read a friend's report on her blog about the use of modern technology.  Okay she might have a right to have her own opinion but she is more from old schooling habits still. It's bad enough to hear from my parents about the negatively of modern technology. Sorry to say boys and girls the past is now the past! If you can't keep up with the Jones (so to speak) you won't get anywhere in this world.  Modern technology will get so advance (like in one of the Back to the Future movies) every household (of all ages) has to use it, otherwise you won't survive.  

We are now in a new century so it is expected to deal with the changes of just about everything from the law to modern technology use.  Personally the law might be over the top with some rules (or not the right law from the past continue in some cases)

I think its great to have internet as most of my family and friends are not local to communicate with. Since my 16yo daughter lives with her father, use of facebook messaging is the only way to communicate with her privately without any interruptions from other household members at this address.

When I first joined Facebook and twitter I was pretty well into it like a teenager for hours and days but after a year or so later I really died down in usage.  But this year as I had a major lifestyle change I really have dropped in hours of using social media as I just don't have the time to use it all day like some people can do. 

Yes....I have a life of being a single mum now, serious about job hunting and plans on studying soon too, bowling and more into paper crafting activities which takes up alot of my spare time. I like to keep busy with the interest I love so you can't say I am the kind of person to be sitting on my donkey all day with the laptop.  Only watch TV at night but most of the time I record the shows I like and watch at a later date.

But I do to have internet connected because its the way of our the society works.  Looking for employment is more on-line done now as there are so many companies and agencies who are on-line. In the long run its more convenient to send an email to a potential employer then waiting a day or two for the envelope to be sent via snail mail. It's easier to delete an email then wasting all that paper use to snail mail an application with a resume.

My opinion on modern technology!  Yes...its the best thing they invented!  The only downfall is the age of the user. I don't think children under 5 should use it at all as they don't have alot of English knowledge to read at that age. Maybe primary schools shouldn't use it either because it takes the focus away on writing skills on paper. Senior high school is the right age to use computers as the students have larger assignments to do.

As for facebook it should be only use for people over 18 as there are too much adult content shared on media for all ages to see. Or there should be a limit on what you can post on the wall.  Not everyone wants to know what you do every minute of your life. Mainly share a post from elsewhere I feel its appropriate to share or share the good achievements I or my children have completed.

That's all for my opinion on this matter. It's up to you if you want to share your thoughts in the comments session.

PS The best thing I love about my laptop, it can fix my spelling errors (when I am creating a document) as I am always making mistakes when I send SMS to some people from my mobile phone.
