Technology

To be technologically literate means that you know understand and know how to operate technology devices, such as a cell phone, a computer, an iPod, etc. Today, facebook is huge in the pop culture world. People in their early teens to people in their 50’s are on facebook communicating and reconnecting with their friends, family, and colleagues. Right now, the “blackberry” is very popular. The blackberry is considered a smart phone which allows you to surf the web and access many different apps on your phone that you can benefit you in everyday life, and bring you entertainment. The technology we have today gives us a huge advantage in our lives. Today with the internet, we have access to pretty much anything at the tip of our fingers. You can find almost anything on the internet. Before the internet, students who would have to write reports would go to the library and take out multiple books and receive all their information from those books. Today, you can type in a simple topic on Google, or other search engines and you can have hundreds maybe even thousands of pages with information. In today’s society if you are technologically illiterate you could be considered “behind”. Technology has such an impact on todays and the futures society. A lot of people consider it to be a disadvantage if you are not technologically literate.
