Post 3. My favourite piece of technology



Hi guys, Today we will discuss on Technology, not in the big sense of the word, but on its low-scale, day-to-day use.

Please check out my Post to get an idea for the Topic:

 I used to think that I  didn't care about technology at all, but currently I consider it a very important topic.
On a personal level, I check my e-mails daily and carry my phone at every time. I think I have a healthy relation with the internet, but anyways, who  wants to admit to be hooked on something?
If I am completely honest, I have to say that I depend a lot on my personal computer, 
I use it to both work online and to learn a lot of stuff from it. 
It is my main source of information, gathered from news sites, articles at specific sites, and social feed. I also enjoy listening to podcasts, It is a great way to improve and update my english.
I believe that learning to create and program in a computer is a great way to achieve a deeper understanding of technology today and its possibilities.
Regarding my work, I have done some visual pieces, using programs such as Adobe Photoshop or Processing. Still, I am not saying that I am a tech geek; I can barely work on them at a user level. 
When I was very young, I actually had computing classes where teachers taught us a bit of programing. I don't know if kids today are aware of this.
To sum it up, My favourite piece of technology today is my personal laptop, I would be completely lost without it. It is my main source of information and communication. I prefer it over mobile phones due to its bigger processing power and its storage size.
Also, I can constantly update my English vocabulary and grammar.

Finally, I want to share a project I did when I was in a Media Workshop, back in 2015. It is made with a very simple programming tool, and it uses a web camera and a laptop.








So, What do you think of the use we make of technology? Please share your thoughts.

Write about your favourite piece of technology (it doesn't have to be very fancy, just keep it simple and honest) ;)

Say:

What it is.
When you got it.
How you use it.
How often you use it.
Why you like it.
What life would be like without it.

  1. I'm not a big fan of technology neither, but I think that is a good tool for communication, keep in touch or search information.

  2. I think that sometimes technology is ending with the real interactions, i mean, face to face. But i think that in the world that we are living right now, technology is a really good tool and is necessary.

  4. I think that technology is not a necessity, because, I believe it is a social construction, make us needs that we don’t have.
