HW 5 GHIJK

Dear Hannah

Thank you for the comment. I'm glad you can connect to my insight concerning the digital unit we are currently studying. I see that you aren't necessarily the people who have become consumed with the digital technology that surrounds us, but the fact that you can still see what im trying to say reassures me that I'm still sane and in control of how well I balance my daily daily use of digital technology.

I'm glad you agree with my conclusion since balance is a topic that I strongly believe to be significant. Overall, I feel as if everything should be balanced not just utilizing digital technology, but everything we do. Not stating that everyone needs to be perfect by following this rule, but maintaining balance allows you to get the best of both worlds.

I also understand how you feel when friends don't really approve of not watching enough TV. For approximately two years I have not watched TV, and I feel comfortable with how I live...my friends don't. I find myself lost when they talk about recent television shows, but at the same time I feel good that I havent wasted time absorbed in media.

It seems like you are conscious of your semi-dependency of digital tools like your cellphone and Ipod. The fact that they are portable makes them very convenient unlike the TV which requires you to stay in a certain location. If TVs were to be installed into cellphones or Ipods, I'd be a more active TV watcher than I am now.

I think fear is an element that we both share to be significant. Knowing that we both understand the concept of fearing how advanced digital technology has become, I wonder why people rely so heavily on it? My answer for now is that is has become a necesity to survive in a society like the one we currently live in. Thank you again for the insightful comment.
