ENG-W - English ENG-W 131 Lecture 5: ENG- Implications and Consequences
Document Summary
Implications and consequences: if the trends continue, people will no longer connect in person, they will solely rely on technology. When turkle interviewed individuals, she found that people currently do not want to talk on the phone so if this continues they will possibly begin to chat online. This will help individuals watch what they say on the internet because someone is always watching what they post, meaning if they are not posting anything bad then they are safe. People may soon realize that technology is no longer good for us and slowly start to get rid of it from their lives. Technology will begin to help people continue their education which is also a positive. If they use it in the right way, people can continue their education, and people can gain a lot from technology. The future might turn out to be full of robots instead of humans.
