Prompt # 1

The amount that technology is incorporated in everyday life is crazy to me. I have very mixed feelings about technology. The videos "Did You Know" and "Pay Attention" showed me the actual statistics about how much technology is intertwined into the normal routines of people. These videos put actual number values on the amount of technology that I see others and also myself using every single day. I can only speak for myself, but I know that if I don't have my cell phone in my hand whether I'm using it or not, I feel a little lost. It's like I am missing a limb or a part of myself. That quite honestly scares me. I think that technology can be very important and useful in many ways, but I also think that from personal experience it is hard to function without it, and I don't like that feeling. I will one day use technology in a classroom of my own. That is a given, but it will be a difficult portion of teaching for me because I can do the basics of what I need to do and that's about it.
