Intro to Digital Concepts:
How do you use technology on a given day?
- I wake up from my cell phone alarm going off. I use my computer and internet everyday to go on things like Google and Facebook. I will use my cell phone to call home and to my friends. I go on Skype to video chat with my family and friends as well. I use the TV to watch shows and to find out the weather for the week. I look up news stories on my computer. I use a gps to find my way around when I am lost.
How do you define technology?
- Technology can be devices or things created to make life easier and it creates the world to become more connected. It helps people communicate and makes work easier form consturction sites to the business world. It's rapidly expanding.
How does technolog impact how to think, read, and write?
- TEchnology has impacted my spelling and grammer skills ALl I have to do is click on a little red underline and it tells me how to spell it. Or even when I'm lucky auto-correct fixes it for me so I never have to look up my spelling. Technology takes away from my reading since I can easily go to spark-notes and look up what the book was about instead of actually reading the whole novel.
What does it mean to be digital? What are some digital objects.
- Clocks are digital, TV's are digital, computers are digital
- To be digital means to be connected with satellites???
What does it mean to be a digital native?
- It's to basically grow up with the digital items and know how to use the new technology when it comes out. It comes easier to those who are younger because that's really all they know.
- they know how to use the touchpad on the computer
- They know how to upload pictuers on the computer and even on Facebook
- They know who to put contacts into phones
A digital immigrant?
- The technology is foreign to them it takes longer to learn how to do certain things and they mess up a lot with trying to upload pictures or they have to read the manual before they even think about trying to use a computer or the newest thing out there.
