Description

Computers are everywhere these days. They are in our refrigerators, automobiles, backpacks, and even integrated into our clothes. With such ubiquity, it is easy to take them for granted, or to forget that they are even there.

They are used in so many different ways. We look up information on the World Wide Web. We use them to get the definitions of words we don’t know. We use them to find our way around a city or get directions. But with their continued use, many skills that were considered important just a few years ago, are being forgotten. How recently have you used an encyclopedia off a library shelf, or looked up a word in a dictionary (the book version - NOT an online dictionary)? When was the last time you used a map? (“I’ll always have my phone with me, why should I learn to read a map, or remember Aunt Bertha’s address?”)

Consider how much you depend upon technology, and pick two specific items or services that you usually take for granted. Write a few paragraphs (~400 words total) about how you use those technologies, and describe how much control you have over each regarding their usage and whether you are in charge of the on/off switch. Then write an additional 400 words describing how the sudden loss of those technologies will affect you. What would you do to cope? Will you be able to survive? Then come to a conclusion on how necessary it would be to remember the “old ways to do things” vs. exclusively depending on or using the new technologies.

Total length for the paper should be approximately 1000 words.

This paper does not require research. However, you should put a lot of thought into your analysis and details of your personal experiences. Papers that show little effort or shallow analysis considering the issues will not receive full credit.

You can use other resources you would like to, but very minimum. Please don't paraphrase exactly what the article is about. My class is so strict about this issue. "You may not copy or merely paraphrase text taken from other sources. In the future, take the information, use it to learn about the subject material, and then write about the subject material using your own words." - This is what professor commented in my last paper, just to let you know how strict the class is.

Use of Technology

Introduction
With the evolution of society and the growing technological development, the world has
embraced an era whereby people have discovered easier ways to get what they want in this
digital era. The old ways of accessing and acquiring information have been set aside by the
present advancement. Technology has become an obvious thing before the people’s sights and is
used even in the smallest details that sometimes individuals even forget they have it. The running
of almost every important sector of life revolves around technology. Some of these sectors
include medicine, education, travel, construction as well as homecare. The commonness of
technology has made people treat various advancements with little significance, as though they
no longer matter. Technology is the greatest thing to have shaped the world in the 21st century,
and the discussion below entails service and an item that I depend on but usually take for
granted.
The internet
The internet can be defined as the interconnection of communication devices such as
smartphones, tablets, and computers and enables these devices to access and share information.
Personally, the internet has been of much use to me, especially when it comes to obtaining
information about any subject. However, the internet has been around for some time now...
