In the modern world, one can’t go a mere five minutes without seeing some form of a smartphone around them, whether it’s advertised in media or we see with our own eyes. Phones have created a new simplicity in our lives, one that the average user can’t go without. For the newcomer to technology, this can all seem overwhelming. Most likely the person doesn’t know where to start looking for a smartphone. My friends Scott and Justin often argue over which kind of phone offers more.
Reaction “The Watchful Lab of Dr.Bell” From The New York Times, Feb. 16, 2014 By Natasha Singer As the electronic guy in my family, the article served me well with a lot of new informations and proofs. I try to be updated with the newest technology in the world so that I can expect the next technology, to be honest right now I don’t get surprised easily by the technology, I’m not sure why exactly, but maybe it’s because the lack of innovation. Now a days companies introduce a huge amount of smartphones, laptops, TVs, and all kind of technology, but none of them is revolutionary it’s almost the same but with one or two new features. When Dr.Bell went to examine how people act with their built-in technology in their cars I got exited because I’ll always argue with my cousins on this topic, they say it’s so cool to have a screen on the front desk or other kinds of entertainment devices inside the car. For me actually I was confused why people focus on the built-in entertainment services while they can do the exact same thing maybe even more on their smartphone?
RAW Intro | Omar Intro | Title Page | Index | Version Notes | INTRODUCTION You hold in your hands one of the Great Books of our century fnord. Some Great Books are recognized at once with a fusillade of critical huzzahs and gonfolons, like Joyce’s Ulysses. Others appear almost furtively and are only discovered 50 years later, like Moby Dick or Mendel’s great essay on genetics. The Principia Discordia entered our space-time continuum almost as unobtrusively as a cat-burglar creeping over a windowsill. In 1968, virtually nobody had heard of this wonderful book.
If it did not exist, we would have a very short life because we would be defenseless, we would be unable to grow enough food or find it, besides the fact that there would be a high lack of knowledge. We as humans with just a small amount of technology became the dominant species on the planet but we’ve been affecting the planet on a global scale. Technology has become the most powerful force in the world, to the point that it’s become who we are. Technium is a term to define: us humans as our technology, everything that we've made and the gadgets in our lives. Kelly says his definition of technology is anything useful that a human mind makes.
It’s an undoubted fact that the pacing of our technology nowadays isn’t the same compared to the last 50 years of our modern technology world. Different technological innovations like cell phones, email, and WI-FI are quickly sprawling the surface of the earth. But then, how do people really define technology? Do they define it as the science of having special knowledge to a mechanical or scientific sort of stuff? Probably no.
On the road I lived on, there were about fifteen to twenty houses and out of those houses, maybe two of them had a house phone. We cell phones hit the market, it was not a big deal. People had those big bag phones, and would just leave them in their car for emergency use. Than the flip phone came, it was big and couldn’t even fit in my purse and the ringer was had this loud awful sound. For the technology today, cell phones are smaller, you can choose different types of ringtones, and you can do just about anything on them.

Because of this various books have been written to cater to the inquiries of the people. Do - it - yourself or DIY electric car guides become readily available in bookstores and shops.
Jeanette Gomez SOC3214 I. How technology impacts family interaction It is very interesting to me how fast technology has changed through the years. When I was growing up we didn’t have cell phones until the late 1990’s. Even then the phones were huge and they actually were stored in a briefcase to charge them. Not to mention they were the size of a regular house phone.
Martin Cooper of Motorola made the first cell phone in 1973; they became available to the public in 1984. The DynaTac 8000X, the first cell phone, sold for $3,995 and weighed two pounds. In 1991 the Motorola MicroTac Lite was released for $1,000 (thinkquest.com). Since that time the price has come down dramatically but the dangers have grown exponentially. Cell phones also have many excellent advantages.
