I realised that it's been a very, very long time since any of us posted on here so I decided to write something because it means putting off my ethics revision for the mock exam that little bit longer.
I was thinking about technology the other day and how although we sort of 'grew up' with technology - that our generation can still remember not having it as a central part of our lives. I remember in lower school we had one computer in the class room; one of those old ones with the massive monitor screens and it was a privilege to play a game on it or draw something on paint. Then there's the music side of it, I still remember having cassette tapes opposed to CD's and a chunky mp3 player rather than an iPod.
Obviously these things have grown with us really, it worries me that some children now immediately latch on to technology as soon as they're older enough to understand it. At least with us, although it was becoming increasingly popular and common, we still had to use our imagination and make up games etc. I'm not sure if children are encouraged in that way so much now? I hope they are because there's only so much that playing a game on a screen can do for your creativity and imagination.
Basically, are we all becoming to dependant on technology?
I think maybe we are.
Laura.
