My digital Life~*

How my life is affected by digitial technologies?

When this question come across in my mind, a few words appear.
"I can't live without digitial technologies!"
Why I say so?
As i just simply rewind the time of yesterday to think about what things I have done is related to digitial technologies, I find I cannot escape from the digitial world.

  • I check my email accounts almost everyday. I even check them three or four times a day.
  • I browse facebook and use it to communicate with my friends all the time. Sometime I use MSN to chat with them. However, in these few years I recognise waiting for my friends' response before the computer screen is a kind of wasting time. I can't focus on my work. So now I try not to use frequently. 
  • I text with my friends by my mobile. 
  • I enjoy browsing different applications in my sister's Ipad. I like to play the game "Cut the rope"!

  • YouTube seems to be one of my favourite infomation channels. I can access the hottest issue in town and I can find videos and songs that I want.
  • Internet help me a lot in my daily life, such as I do e-banking, shopping, booking facilities of university, checking information.......It really helps me shorten the time needed for all this stuff.
  • Of course visitng blogs of my dear friends is one of the highlights of a day. =)
  • Digital camera is a must-bring thing when I hang out with my friends and family!
People in this generation, including me, cannot say NO to any digitial technonlgies. It becomes a essential element in our lives. However, although it is so convenient, I still think it cannot replace face-to face interaction. It is far more vivid and I can actully observe his or her reponse immediately. Therefore, I try not to rely on the technologies so much but i find how difficult it is!

One other thing I would like to mention, language usage on the internet is really interesring. I keep wondering who invent this kind of intriguing language. Actually there is no answer to this question as it just happens. I think the power of internet or the digitial technologies is out of my imagination. By using the technologies appropriately, great imapct can be brought to the world. However, not everyone has a good mind. Some would do bad things via it. So my reflection is......we have to using it well!

    I like 'Cut the Rope' too!!!! Haha!!
    Life is really easier with all the advanced technologies!!
    I guess the culture of Internet is built by all of us, so no one actually know the answer to the questions, because we just do it creatively. :)

    I think one of the reason that 'Internet language' appears is because people are lazy haha.
    When I chat with my friends on line, I like using terms like 'cu' to replace 'see you', 'I dunno' to replace 'I don't know', it's really much convinient and time saving!! Just that we have to becareful not to write them on our school work!=p

    Thanks for the post. I agree with you both about the "txt" language: it's a very interesting innovation that has developed specifically for use in instant messaging. That means that it works very well in instant messaging but can cause problems if you import it to other contexts (like your essays). On the other hand, I think most people realize that, what do you think?
