WEEK 2: Technology : Best friend or best enemy ?


  During the second week we spoke about Technology, and more specially about Technology in Education. This first case shows very well that Technology brings lots of new methods of teaching : texts in caves become texts in books, texts in papers-form, texts in photocopies,ect. Undoubtelly, technology easies the life of teachers ...and also whose of students ! But I have asked a question to myself : what about daily-life ? Is it a good thing ? So, Technology : Best friend or best Enemy ?
   Technology is everywhere ! In houses, in schools, in medecine, in science, in litterature...Technology helps in everyday tasks (cars, dishwasher, mobile phone, computer), it helps a lot in medical research too. It also helps the spreading of information thanks to Internet for example. But technology have also negative points : it can brings diseases : let's take the example of mobilephone which are very dangeroous for health (a test made by scientifics show that because of its radioactions you can can become deaf or you can catch a cancer). An another negative point: we are more and more assisting in daily life … Do we use all of our capacities today ? Undoubtelly human species became more and more lazy...and stupid !
 So what about you ? What do you think about the topic ? Give your opinion !

  1. I think technology is very useful in our daily life, but it's true that we are more and more dependent! If we know where are our limits, that's fine. But it's also true that technology is facility in our life. About health problem, it's not something i think a lot about because there are so many other things who can bring diseases, with or without technology.
    In my opinion, technology is positive and it's something of our time, but we have to be careful and not to abuse of it.

  2. Whether technology can cause health problems, well, that depends, right?
    Sitting in front of the television set 12 hours of the day can be as hazardous as sitting in front of a computer screen, no?
    Why do you think human beings are becoming lazier and stupid with technology??? :) Don't you think in order for you to learn how to use the technology correctly, you need to have a certain level of intelligence ?? :) Anyone can answer my questions :)

    1. Hello :)
      I think human being are becoming lazier because:
      The washing is done automatically (dishwasher), meals are cooked in the microwave (just in pressing on a buttton!) or the phone lets us speak to family from our sofa ! Because of the technology a majority of the world’s population become lazy...and it increases the rate of obesity !
      Then techonology made stupid. For example when you have a research to do in class, we go on Internet, read and... copy ! But we don't think ! We don't make any reflexion about the veracity of the information ! :)
