The First Technology

Does the story of the iPhone show man to be determined by his technical achievements, in thrall to the phone, coerced by the phone? Or does it show him capable of using technology to his own, to human ends, and of being the master of the tools of his own devising?"
    
     The use of iPhone’s only benefits someone whose achievements are surrounding with the use of technology. For example, iPhone usage for a business person is ideal because of the ability to store, view documents fast during a meeting, or keep track multiple dates. Therefore, being depended on technology helps one succeed in whatever achievements are being accomplish. On the other hand, for someone who is much younger and in school would be distracted by the apps, communication networks, and games, instead of completing his or her homework. The real story about owning an iPhones is that puts a lot of people in debit with its sky rocket pricing. iPhones makes people way too dependent to their phones, by providing easy to use resources and hundreds of answers available. Therefore, the treatment given to their iPhones is much better than how they treat others. In fact it shows people being capable of using technology on their own but it does not capable of letting people think for themselves. Granted that, they will master the tools of the phone by forming one’s own design but who’s really in control?

     Social changes that have come to pass are computerized personal welcoming’s when calling businesses. Before talking to an operator a computerized person greats and ask the caller a question to direct you to the right operator. Another social change is the use of Twitter to track and follow your friends. Every place there at to where they’re going to in a few hours, twitter replaces the use of asking someone what their plans are. I imagine the recent technological innovation like webcams and robot will replace the face to face check-in at the doctor’s office. For instant, some doctors who travel on a business trip leave their offices for about a month. In some doctors’ offices the use of webcams on a robot allows them to still see, interact, follow up with their patients when they are away in another country. I feel the face to face conversation with your doctors will come to pass.

     For myself and the use of technology I could say I’m comfortable with it. I use technology every day to talk with someone, check mail, or turn in my homework. I even mastered the trick of texting without looking down on my phone. Technology helps me get threw my day, without it I would feel overwhelmed with all the manual work. However, I like taking a break from cellphones, laptops, etc. I don’t do it often but it has been done before.
