Technology Fein

All of sudden, I found myself thinking sociologically when i was watching a documentary in media literature about technology. The movie directed its attention on how humans are becoming to so into technology that we miss out on important things in life. People would rather communicate technology wise than face to face. this phenomenon is world wide not just America. One of countries who was part of this documentary was China. The video displayed how technology affected some of the kids life. A 13 year old was evaluated. He was constantly playing video game. This went as far as him no longer being the top 10 kid in class but rather than the bottom 10 academic wise. His mother was greatly concerned, therefore, she enrolled him in a technology free school for about a week. Apart from video games, the producers also shined light on college students using their cell phones and laptops in class. This portion of the film was based on multitasking. study showed that the more the students multi tasked the worse they become at it. Fascinating huh! This relates to sociology because this effects it in many ways. most likely for the worse. People will become so tuned into living their lives online than the real world. By this, our social lives will be messed up. We wouldn't know how to interact with each other face to face.
