Thank you Technology
Getting ready to leave for the cold, rainy, Friday night football game, I get on social media to see who’s going to be at the game tonight. I check Twitter and see that many students are going. They tweet pictures in the stands and post status’s that read “GO WHS” or “Good luck WHS” along with students asking for rides. Texting my friends quickly, I let them know to be ready in five minutes and texting those who need a ride that I can pick them up. They quickly reply. While trying to figure out where the out of town game is, I use Google to find the name of the school’s football field. I then got onto GPS to find a route to take us there. I’ve realized how dependent I actually am on my cell phone today.

I’m dependent on Google because most of my unanswered questions come from Google, whether it’s school related or personal use. Google is an app that is already installed on a smart phone. According to an article from the Business Insider “a recent survey by the company Survata actually showed that the 2,500 respondents were more concerned about Google having access to their personal data than the NSA, their bosses, their parents, or other significant others.” When searching anything into Google, users get quick, multiple results to choose from. Being able to access Google on a smart phone anywhere that a user is located is convenient in many ways such as having to look up the name of something or search a restaurant or store’s number.

Pew Research Center studied that texting messaging users send or receive an average of 41.5 messages per day, with the media user sending or receiving 10 texts daily. I use text messaging every day. To communicate with anyone usually, I use text messaging. It’s more of a private way to communicate. In my opinion, it’s faster and very convenient. It’s efficient when I need to send someone a quick reminder or tell information quick. I have many friends and family members that I do not get to see on a daily basis. It’s a good way to catch up with people. Also, when trying to get ahold of somebody via phone call and they do not answer I can send them a text right after. From personal experience, I would call my mom while she was in meetings and she would send me a text right away so we could talk that way. Sending text messages comes in handy when users are in noisy environments as well. Also, texting allows a gap of time that will allow a person to think about their reply rather than having to react to a situation or conversation quickly on the spot. We can take time to compose a message and delete it all before it gets to the other
