Technology has managed to desensitize us to outrageous events, such as the hot air balloon hoax a few years ago. We almost expect the unexpected with 24-7 access to news and media. However, none of these events enable us to forecast the future.
\nInstead, with society\u2019s picture of \u2018anything can happen\u2019 being painted, it is just as plausible to think a fortune-teller\u2019s prediction is likely to happen as it is to truly forecast more probable future events based on historical ones. The author is also pointing out that there is something almost comforting in leaving the future up to chance (such as buying into the Mayans\u2019 prediction), rather than taking a realistic approach. It somehow takes the onus off of us if fate has already been pre-determined.
\nThere is no way we could have predicted certain events\u2014such as Hurricane Katrina or Bernard Madoff\u2019s Ponzi scheme (although the latter, in hindsight, should have been more transparent to us). We need to keep our eyes open and take better charge of our futures if we want to have a say in it.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"49145715","dateCreated":"1326465131","smartDate":"Jan 13, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"mgiaquinto1","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/mgiaquinto1","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/warde-wiki-workshop-january19-group3.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/49145715"},"dateDigested":1532253492,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"response to article, m.giaquinto","description":"In this article it states that, \u201cwe live vicariously through our little machines.\u201d This is very true, since you cannot walk ten feet without seeing someone glued to their phone or searching facebook. There are people out there, like myself that do not have a high-tech phone or use social networks. Most of the world relies on these things to connect with other people, and in the article, it discusses that this is how people live. They live in a virtual reality. When things in the real world happen, such as 9\/11, people that have been in these virtual realities take longer to react to these catastrophic events. However when they do react, there is no time to reflect or make connections between what we can know and what happens because of these virtual realities.
\nThroughout the past ten years, technology has been responsible for the way people have become. The way people interact with each other and the way people view the realities of the world. If you think about it, the way people react to newer technologies is unbelievable. I see individuals yelling at their phones because it does not upload a picture to the internet fast enough, or the fact their friend didn\u2019t get a text message in under a minute. What people are not realizing is that the mere fact that we can even do these things is incredible. Ten years ago if we were told we will be carrying around touch screen phones that can allow you to access the internet, GPS, and many other things, I\u2019m sure many people would think that was crazy talk. During this time of the advancement of technology has made the way people interact come to sitting at a computer or their phone and typing back and forth on a keyboard (or touch screen).

Think about all that has happened in the last decade: September 11, the take down of Saddam Huessein, the stock market crash, a football team going 16-0, the election of America's first African-American preseident, etc. All of this, unlike the past, was thrown at us through many different mediums, such as TV, the Internet, radio, etc. I found out Osama bin Laden was killed on Facebook when I was "studying" for a college exam.

\nThe fact of the matter is, we take in alot of information all at once through many different mediums. While it is great to have unlimited access to this information, it can be very easy to get lost in the mix. So, it is important take everything in strides and to not forget what you, personally, are dealing with at the time. The ultimate goal is to take what we learn from society and pop culture and integrate it into our everyday lives.

\nBy Robin Terwilliger
\n
\nAfter reading the article, I had to stop and think about the technology I use in my everyday life. I can related this article to important event and =activities in my life like my daughter, Saylor\u2019s, 5th birthday party.
\nWe are using a lot of technology to get ready for Saylor\u2019s birthday day party this weekend. Starting with the cake we ordered. A specially designed cake maker will design her cake to look like an enchanted garden. Cinderella, Ariel, and Bell will be sitting on a bench in the beautiful castle garden. Years ago this cake would have cost $1,000. Due to technology and the ability to mass produce designed cakes, it on cost me $19.95 at Costco.
\n According to the Mayan calendar, we are all going to die on the scheduled day of December 21, 2012. I feel it is probably not true, but just in case I would like to make the party extra special. With this in mind, I have rented out a dance studio to have the \u201cPrincess Dance Party.\u201d Again, using updated technology, I created pink ballerina tutu invitations and sent the via email or through the regular post office.
\n Saylor wanted many toys for her birthday. One important toy she received was the Beauty and the Beast life size Bell. This doll can talk and interact with the children as if she was a regular person. That is defiantly and improvement in technology. The children are no longer playing with rag dolls, but no interactive toys.
\n Saylor also asked for driving lessons. Although 5 years old is a little young for a child to start driving, I am sure in the years to come they will be creating vehicles for her young age.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"49145243","body":":o)","dateCreated":"1326464885","smartDate":"Jan 13, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"bnartowicz","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/bnartowicz","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}}],"more":0}]},{"id":"49145111","dateCreated":"1326464805","smartDate":"Jan 13, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"CarolDunn1","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/CarolDunn1","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/warde-wiki-workshop-january19-group3.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/49145111"},"dateDigested":1532253492,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Article Response","description":"Technology allows us to access information so quickly that we don't have time to reflect on that information and make connections.

\n"The student task is to identify the main idea."
\nAs the student in this situation I find it impossible to respond to this assignment in a meaningful manner because the content is irrelevent to my life, is offensive in its language, and this whole assignment is contrived. The article says "we invest ourselves in our artificial realities rather than involve ourselves with the actual one, which is boring and slow and not as efficient." I find this assignment boring, slow and not efficient and would much rather develop my actual teaching rather than delving into an artifical environment. The main idea of this article actually seems to countermand the point of this assignment- should we not be encouraging students to invest more in actual life- and not an artifical reality online that is deadening them to the potentials of their lives. Perhaps this makes me a technophobe, but can embrace that title.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]}],"more":true},"comments":[]},"http":{"code":200,"status":"OK"},"redirectUrl":null,"javascript":null,"notices":{"warning":[],"error":[],"info":[],"success":[]}}
