Workshop 5: Wired For Trouble



As we launch our new workshop I want you to think carefully about all of the ways that you use and abuse technology in your daily life. What is something you can do to utilize technology better? What is something that you can do to utilize technology more safely? Please comment on this post by answering these two questions in two full complete sentences.

I think something that i can do to help me not to abuse technology is to time myself. I can be on the computer for 15 min. and on the phone for 10. I think that, that will help me not to abuse technology.

I think one way you can make technology more safe is by not giving you info. to strangers like on IM, Myspace or EMail. ANd on Myspace don't add people you don't know!! Myspace is to talk to friend not to get kidnapped. And not to go on websites that your not so post to go on.

Something that I could do to abuse technogy I would read alot of books.

You could make technolgy more safe by not going on it often.

To make technology better is by stop using your cellphone to much & computure too just use them for homework or emgercy only and turn off your cellphone an iPods when your in class.To make it safe don't answer calls when it's private or that you don't know that number don't pick up and your mom should be checking your cellphone and computure the people your talking to in the phone an not with stranger.

♠It is just every day I use my cell phone for calling , texting , music ,and the internet. But what I use more than that is .... T.V., the computer. I admit it is a very big problem because,peer presure is a lot more effective with no one around to help you say "no" to everything else on the internet. there is so much new technoligy that I love like plasma flat screen T.V.'s and HDTV gaming systems because of great quality and clearness.♠

Instead of using technology every 10 or 5 minutes I can and other people could go out and do sports or ride their bike instead of abusing technology.

I think I can use technology better by how people can just make emergency calls and not talk to there friends for fun. You can utilize technology safer by blocking all of the things that we shouldn't use or see and just use the thing that we should use.

I think tecnology these days are important because what if there was another terrorist attack the United States could act faster and smarter.Like creating Tanks and all that stuff.Also for people that use the Phone for Internet,Calls,Text,Navigator, or even if your stuck in the Forest you can call for help and they can track you down.
[by the way i text so girls holler at me]
But I think using tecnology the wrong way is bad because bad people like hackers and terrorists can enter Government and poison us with bad stuff.
Those are some reason why I feel like Tecnology is Good and Bad.
