Whitney Mumm's Blog 3



Technology has become a huge part of almost everything we do. Our cell phones, laptops, iPods, and many other devices make everything a lot simpler, but do have their downfalls. Today, many people would not know what to do without this technology. Laptops and cell phones give people the advantage of doing their homework or paper almost anywhere and the ability to be connected with people almost 24/7. What would we do without it? I know that I would be lost and everything would take much longer to accomplish. Without these connections with people we would know less of what is going on in the world and get to know fewer people of different social groups. Media and technology is very influential on how we view social groups and how we see the interactions between social groups. Without technology we would not get to  interact with students in Russia.  People that come from a small town do not get to associate with different groups, but with media and technology this interaction and growth is possible.  The downfall of all of this is that people use technology and media all the time. For example, it is used as a distraction when people are bored or sitting in class.
