Technology and Social Media
How often do you use technology and what do you use it for?
I use technology everyday day because, it keeps me entertain and I mostly use it to keep in touch with friends or I enjoy watching videos and having a good laugh. I also enjoy watching videos that teach me how to make thing aka DIY videos or websites and I also use technology during school hours. When I'm school I have to use my iPad for school proposes because, it's a lot easier than doing things on a piece of pencil and paper, and it's easier to keep track of things.
What are the benefits of using technology and social media?
The benefits of using technology and social media is that we can learn new things and talk and meet new people who have similar interest. It's also useful for people who are far away so, we don't lose touch. We can also use technology for education proposes for example, in my school you have to have an iPad which I think makes things a lot easier. You can also use technology to help with boredom or if you've had a long exhausting day you can go on the internet and just relax.
What are the drawbacks to using technology and social media?
Some drawbacks to using technology and social media is that if someone says something that isn't true, the person can't defend themselves because, they might not see it right away and when they see it maybe other people saw it before then and they might have thought it was true so, they could spread that lie around a lot more. Another drawback is that sometimes we pay too much attention to technology that we don't pay attention to the things around us. Teenagers, adults, little kids are all getting sick from just sitting on a desktop or being inside all day when there's a beautiful day outside. Socia media is sometimes not a good thing if we don't know how to use it responsibly.
Which apps and websites do you use the most and why?
Some of the apps I use the most are snapchat, instragram, YouTube and Twitter. I like using these apps because, I can see what my friends are doing and I can enjoy myself talking to them. I also use a number of different apps for doing school work.
