HW 10- Informal Research Internet

This article I picked up talks about a sports store which has all of their items on a Personal Digital Assitant (PDA), so make shopping for the customer faster and easier. This is strong proof of what awaits us in the digital future. I'm really not on a side on whether or not digital technology is a good thing. All I'm going to say is that our world evolves every single day, and we just have to accept that.
I believe this is indeed a preview of the future in digital technology. Pretty soon, all stores will have a PDA, making shopping everywhere quicker and easier, saving more time to do other activities, which will most likely also have something to do with digital media.

This article shares the same ideas that I do. It informs us that digital technology is a bigger part of our lives than we consider it. How digital technology IS life and it is still continuing to grow in society. But reasons for why this is good includes that it allows information to be passed around the world and important research. Reasons that it's a bad thing is that there is no privacy from the government because " the government taps into people's computers and internet activities under the excuse that they are doing it in the name of law enforcement".
I think this says a lot about the pros and cons of digital technology. It allows us to think like " well this is good.....but what about this....etc.". It gives people a chance to really break down thoughts and opinions into really sophisticated conversations.

This article was really interesting to me, as it discussed the topic of digital technology in a way that technology could be looked at in a different light. The author of this article talks about how people should not look at technology alone, but look at the interaction between technology and people. She/he then asks questions based around multiple individual topics to make readers think then possibly converse with others about their thoughts on a later date.
I found this article to be really helpful in expanding my mind on digital technology in everyday life. It not only talked about the same topics I already knew, but the article expanded it, making it seem a easier to think about.
