In this part of the class we discuss what was Sociology and how it's related to our daily lives. Sociology is the study of human social relationships and institutions. Sociology is a very diverse in terms of what kind of subjects we all are talking about including the society around of us. We discuss how technology is affecting the society we are living in. I could relate because we were asked to read an article " Is Google Making Us Stupid" I believe it has impacted most of us in a negative way and a positive way because we can choose to abuse its overall power of Google. The positive affects are if you can not find what you are looking for then it is your last resource which we use everyday. Its a tool what we could use nearly for anything that is concerning our minds and what we can not find out any other way. Then there are times when technology affects your total health, eye sights, being lazy in the use of technology verses doing things manually because its much faster now.
We had a debate where one team had the positive affects of technology versus the negative affects of technology in our daily lives. How advancements in technology have made equipments lighter and portable with full computing capabilities such as calculators, calendars, notepads, dictionary, textbooks, and encyclopedia. Also, the negative part is the privacy when messaging on any social media websites such as facebook, twitter, and instagram. Governments will have these information in their data base once it has been posted out there. Then there's location when you message someone you could actually see where they are at that very moment if you choose to make your location available publicly. But technology overall will always have its good parts in them going against the negative part of technology in today society. First of all using technology is everywhere like using the subway metro cards, smart phones being used every where. Making purchases on your phone in many stores and many other innovations.
