My Life Hyperlinked
Every human's life is surrounded by technology. Whether it is clothing or computers, the advancement of technology is what sets humans apart from other species and is necessary for survival. The most important technologies to me are my phone and laptop, and their ability to access the internet. My phone wakes me up in the morning and then provides me relevant information such as the weather and my e-mail. If am feeling productive I use my laptop to write papers or plan daily activities. I can also use my phone and laptop to catch up on blogs and the news. For media I can stream or download movies and shows to my laptop, and no longer feel that I need television for entertainment. These technologies, however, would lose their appeal if they were not connected to the internet.
