In the future many
things will be different from today because our lives are changing rapidly due
to technology. Who knew 40 years ago
that we would be addicted to portable phones we call cell phones. Because of
this, we will need to adapt to these new technologies and know how to use them
due to technology being a keystone feature in our business, as well as personal
lives, to be successful. Although technology is making a strong impact on
conversational skills today, we will still need to know how to communicate with
people face to face.
If you zoom back a
few years when it was more common to talk face to face we need to begin to
think about how technology has changed. We didn’t have cell phones in first
grade, we didn’t have 80 inch flat screen 3D TVs. Our conversational skills
were much better than today; today we have so many people more people who have
problems with public speaking. Technology can affect us negatively and
positively.
I do believe that
I will be ready for the 21st century as well as most of my
generation. Although we will have to work harder than the next upcoming generation
to understand technology just like our parents do today. Not everyone can
understand technology easily which will put them lower down on a professional and
personal level. It will be interesting to see what comes in the future.
I totally agree with you Taylor. Technology is a huge part of our lives now and it is just going to keep growing and growing. Technology awhile ago was phones attached to walls and big bulky TV's but now we have touch screen phones and flat screen TV's. I also agree that there is a positive side to technology but also a negative side. Teachers now have to remind kids to use proper English in their papers and not texting lingo. A lot of activities now that we do in class can be done on our smart phones and other devices. I am interested in seeing how this will turn out in the NEXT 40 years to come.
