Technology has expanded throughout the past years. As it becomes more developed with more high tech inventions, people become emotionally involved to each type of technology. I believe technology has changed society in several ways by harming videos, and upset my own friend’s life too.
In the article, “The Net Is The Real World,” by Jake Simms and Larry Magid states that technology can have an effect on people in diverse ways. For example he says One of Rutgers students had placed a webcam in his room when one of their friends asked if it was okay if he used it for the night. Sooner or later clementi found out that they had sent out a video of him in the room with another man. He had sent out a farewell message on facebook leading him to jumping off the George Washington Bridge. Technology was involved with the act for this young man’s death. According to the author, people say or do things in cyberspace that they would not say or do in a face to face conversation. Bullies in school can see their victim suffer but online buddies do not know how much they are tormented.
People expose themselves either by accident or by wanting to do it for the fun of it. Most teenagers now a day’s sent out naked pictures to guys or girls. This is a very disturbing situation. By having these high tech programs to do these possessions, can cause guys to send it out to the world. Also, girls have no respect for themselves by sending out a picture to a guy that they know little about. Some celebrities also made their fame through sex tapes like for example Kim Kardashian. This affects teenagers to wanting to do them same thing to make them become famous and make them rich.
One of my friends from high school was caught in a situation just like Clementis. She meets this guy who she thought was very nice and cool. One day when she went over his house he was videotaping her as she was getting dressed. He sent it to out to most of his friends to see. As she had no idea about it one of the girls from school had comforted her and said that there’s a sex video going around school. All she did was burst out in tears. Later teachers found out and the guy never got into trouble which was unfair for her, although, he explained to everybody that it wasn’t a sex video she had her clothes on underneath a blanket. I still wish I could say something for my friend or for any girl who is in a situation like that.
Furthermore, technology can be positive or a negative thing but as we get to see more dangerous situations like these we start to question it. Why do people use technology in negative ways do we have to but a band to technology or set rules?
I like the examples you use in your passage especially the one with Kim.
ReplyDeleteI recommend being a little more specific in your responses and reading your passage over again because theres a few grammar errors.
For the summary it must be in your own words but other than that it's good.
I like you use your own words to write the summary and the way you supported the main point with your friend example, I also agree with you in your conclusion.
ReplyDeleteI recomend to be clear and specific while stating the main idea in both the summary and the response. You could support your response by quoting.
You must use the main point throughout the paper.
