CHRIS ROLDAN"S BLOG:

What i liked about your blog post was the way you connected your currently activities to the homework. You mentioned the positives and the negatives.

My favorite point was about the news on espn and how they get their information via twitter. it seems as if old fashion interviewing and research is no longer needed. Technology is making everything "easier".

I can relate to the fact that when i do my homework online, i have tabs open to varies other websites such as face book and twitter. Its very difficult to turn my laptop on and not wonder what new notifications i have received on my profiles. which i really stupid because i have both applications on my cellphone so i already know what to expect when i sign on my computer.It has becomes more of a ADDICTION then something necessary.

What i think is worth exploring is the necessity of multitasking. Why cant people simply stick to one activity? Is it not enough just being on AIM chatting, just networking on facebook or twitter, or simply watching t.v? or do all of these connect in a way that they must be done all together. For example like you mentioned the VMA's; after the whole kayne episode , in the after show they had mentioned how it became huge news on twitter and there was like 1000 (a quess) tweets about it. They had announced it like it was an accomplishment!

I wonder if we could ever break out of these habits. if we do, will we become stupid because we have been so dependant on it, or will we became smarter by using the time and money for more productive things in life.

Well im done commenting your blog chris. You should bring these points in class.

I like that you focused on the positives of technology more then the negatives.it gives me a different point of view to work with.

Face book does help people get in contact with friends and family members that live far away.

One day i was getting my nails done and i overheard some ladys talking about how they had just signed up for facebook and found a whole bunch of old friends and how it was refreshing tog et in contact with people they went to high school with. They were saying how much they loved facebook and were able to create a reunion.

We should explore the idea of how to keep the positives and improve of the negatives. Using facebook to get in contact with old friends and far away family members but not having to check your facebook 5 times a day.

You posted a good point and made me play devils advocate a little bit. Continue developing this idea :).
