how technology impacts my life.

Technology has greatly impacted my life. I am a very busy person, and technology has helped me keep in touch with family and friends. I use my text messaging, myspace, and AIM to keep in touch with the people I dont get to see that often. Without them, I probably wouldn't talk to half of my friends and family that often. Don't get me wrong, i would rather see the person face to face and talk with them, but it is hard to meet with friends that have demanding schedules too.

I also have a gps, which is a lifesaver. I do not know directions and it is easier for me to have a gps than to use mapquest. The times I have used mapquest the directions were wrong. Yes, you have to update the gps every so often, but i can live with that.

Technology has made my life so much easier. I do not know what I would do if it all got taken away.

cyberculture

i have never visited the sites in class, expect for myspace. The gaming sites were like a whole new world, it really opened my eyes. I never knew that people were so into videogames. I participate in myspace, but I do not have to be online everyday checking my comments. Cyberculture has a lot to do with our lives as does pop culture. I am participating in it right now, by posting this blog. I feel myspace has affected by positively. I keeps me in touch with friends that i do not get to see daily. I also can find new artists to listen to in the music section.It has everything I need in one site.

Pop Culture

One aspect of popular culture is one's style of living, where they fit into the society. The people are influenced by mass media to fit into a certain group to be liked and appreciated. In addition to mass media, the people are influenced by fads, styles, and music. We feel that everyone has a certain group to which they belong to in popular culture, even the people who say they do not belong, have created a new group that is still a part of popular culture. People need to feel that they are liked and needed so they are easily influenced by mass media, fads, styles, and music.
