What isues do you think he raises? What issues did you like or dislike about what he says? What did you think about the language he uses and what questions did this reading raise for you?

i cant keep up!

I use many kinds of technology cellphone,ipod,computers, video games, cameras, and there is so much more I can’t even think about it on the top of my head. In my opinion face book is the new MySpace and using the one time use Kodak camera is a thing of the past.i feel that technology is changing day by day everytime you turn around theres a new website just bringing everyone together such as twitter,facebook,myspace,and xanga.Most people say who uses my space anymore??Because about four years ago I couldn’t go 30 minutes without checking my MySpace now I'm so into face book I don’t even know my myspace password anymore. That’s because technology is always changing when I was about 8 wears old cd players were the new thing , everyone had a cd player and it cost about 50 dollars to get one them u have to buy the cd album which costed u another 10—15 dollars dollars depending on the how popular the artist is if the artist was unpopular u were able to buy a cd for 8 dollars. After the cd player I believe came the ipod then the ipod touch , then iphone I cant keep up with all this technology its really a pain in the ass I waste my money on it all the time so I don’t like to use my money on the same gadget which is just a little more advanced than the last one they came up with 5 months ago. I mean if it someone else’s money like my parents I could care less but the older I get the more my parents have stopped buying things for me. So I am not up completely 100 percent fully up to date with everything that is “in” now.My ipod is the one from last year , my laptop ive had it for the last four years, I'm still playing xbox and ive had my camera since I was 14 and even though that most of my gadgets are out of date they still work just the same as anything new that is coming out in the future. I mean who am I trying to impress with how fancy my technology is?
