It’s typical for a new technology to be adapted within a culture and used to support existing patterns of behavior. With your own relevant examples, answer these questions.
1) What kind of culture influences through technology can you see from today’s world?
2) Is there a possibility to reshape the (new) culture today via new technology, How?
*you can use images and videos to support your arguments and ideas.
I definitely feel that technology is changing the culture of society. It is very obvious and very clear that times are changing, things weren't what it seemed to be before. Take for examples, the MOBILE PHONE. It has evolved in so many ways and now serves us really well. Supplying to ALMOST all our needs. It acts as a camera, map, calculator, communicator and many more. If asked what is the one thing that we would leave home without, one of them is definitely would be your MOBILE PHONE/ CELL PHONE/ HAND PHONE. So it has definitely influenced the culture of society.
The one thing that cell phones have influenced society is... the age that a person starts owning a cell phone. Back then, We do not own a cell phone until they are 18 or maybe older. Today, Children as young as 8 or below already own a cellphone, already learning to text/sms their friends, play games and so on. There is no boundary or limit for children right now. That is why, children are all maturing so fast, or so they think. Technology have made kids not enjoy their childhood but make them want to grow up as quick as possible
Another thing is the existence of the PSP, better known as the Portable Play Station.
It is definitely an interesting technology/invention and can help people pass time and their boredom. But then, It takes away the pleasure of life where people forget to enjoy life. Because there is definitely more to life than to the PSP games.
Sometimes in a group out for dinner, some would be busy with their phones, their psp and not having a decent converstation together. The verbal communication is not there.
