Dave’s Question’s about my topic:
|
My responses:
|
Why technology?
|
In our generations today we are constantly using our technologies and more than half of our population has a personal computer/phone/internet. The question is how does all this technology affect us and our face to face interactions?
|
What do you mean by “Is too much information is bad?”
|
We are at a point where on Facebook or MySpace we have many people sharing things they didn’t have the courage to deal with face to face with partners, family, friends, etc. by sharing too. It is good to be open and to let out what is bothering you, but the internet is a dangerous place to do so because more people who can misinterpret and misuse your information exist. If you share things over technology only to avoid confrontation from certain people than it will not keep it from coming but could make the confrontation worse.
|
How do people see this and how do you see differently?
|
Many people without researching believe that technology it is detrimental on family relationships. I believe it can be but in moderation it is beneficial and can even boast family communications in a new way.
|
Wow, it’s interesting that some cultures find it rude to research in a bar. What else did you find out?
|
I found out that the dynamic of families are being shaped by technology , but not necessarily in bad way but in new and unfamiliar ways.
|
Can you give me an example of what the boundaries look like?
|
There should be screen time limitations and possibly time set apart for the family to enjoy each other’s company such as game or movie nights. No technology at the dinner table.
|
Did anything surprise you?
|
It surprised me that time with family seems to increase as technology came to personal uses.
|
What other questions did you think of that you would want to research later?
|
How is communication for those who have to use technology as the only way to be heard, listened to, and taken care of properly? (Handicapped)
|
Who is affected by what you are researching?
|
Parents should be interested in order to bring family order and make sure that the relationship with the rest of the family is as best as it can be. Anyone who has had some of these issues with technology who want answers are welcome to look at my research.
|
I am not sure I believe that the internet is detrimental to my family when I use it only moderately.
|
That’s good because it isn’t when the appropriate boundaries are set up. As long as you have a break from your technology and spend it with family and friends it is not going to be a threat.
|
What can we do to insure that the potential harm of technology/internet has a lower possibility of happening?
|
Make sure you are spending more time with people versus just secluding yourself into your world of technology and set all the boundaries I spoke of earlier.

Conversation in essays
When writing an essay it is to feel more like a conversation thoughout, so to show this I will post a conversation with "Dave" based off of my research topic: Does Technology strain our family relationships?

Krystina, I really appreciate the open-mindedness you've brought to your research topic. In a culture that seemingly thrives on polarizing issues, you're responding to your topic with a refreshing, maybe even surprising to some, perspective.
