Today's Generation
I believe that technology kills creativity and visualizes everything for us, as opposed to allowing us to exercise our imagination. Even though we all live in same world, I see that most people are detached when I walk through the campus and see individuals either with headphones on or on their laptops, wandering off in their world. It seems as if we don't share anything in the real world. To me, technology makes people spend less time socializing face to face and more time socializing behind screen through the use of "social" networking websites such as Facebook and Twitter. On my Facebook account, I have more than 100 friends but I only personally know about 50 of them. From what I have seen, it is much easier to make friends through Facebook than it would be in the real world.

I agree, its seems that more and more people have become obsessed with cyber world, that in the real world they lack the creativity and visualization skills that we need. Also, we spend so much time consumed in this world that we end having a hard time meeting new people, and getting to interact with other face to face.
ReplyDeleteSome people can cope with reality and because we have this access to another world, some get lost and don't think about wanting to leave. The idea of it being much easier to meet someone online then in real person is a very true, while sad realization that people would just take the short cut.
ReplyDeleteI agree but people now a days just follow the mainstream stuff. Maybe its just pop-culture? who knows... people just tend to follow trends.
ReplyDeletei agree with you technology makes us stop socializing with the people around us, but more with the people through our computers and phones. I don't necessarily think it stops all creativity because people have found ways to be creative with technology like graphic design, but the beauty of hand writing is being taken over by typing.
