One of the articles that was given today was about does texting affect our writing? The debate was an opinion if texting was getting to be a bad habit and how people, especially teenagers, would write messages onto a writing assignment using vocabulary used in texting environment, such as words shortened or abbreviated to make the message shorter such as "lol' or "omg", is it really affecting our writing? My opinion would be that it doesn't necessarily affect us if we know how to control it, you have to know when to use it or not because you never know when it will be important to use appropriate pronunciations in words or dialogues. Another subject the article presented was that it gives us carpal tunnel syndrome, i think our body is capable of supporting such actions as pushing a button but i guess some people might have a defect and might affect them but is it much to blame cellphones for everything? I think that everybody in this generation is writing more on profiles such as Facebook, Myspace, etc. than we did so many years ago.
Second article talked about free ipods that were given to those who attend certain colleges. It sparked up a debate because of the ipod company selling its propaganda for profit and taking advantage of the opportunity for our generation. My opinion would be against this sort of campaigning by the big companies it is unfair and useless to give away an ipod to a college environment, how about a laptop? it would actually help much more than paying monthly for useless phones or players of mp3, it is more of an entertainment tool than it is for knowledge use. Both articles talked about technology and how it affects our everyday life, the good things and the not so good things, either way we know that we are in a new beginning in our time in life, different opinions will be said about these new events that destined to change our life.
