Mobile Technology

There are many ways that mobile technology is changing our society.  Communication between people, how we use the internet, how we conduct business, and many other ways can be considered much more efficient and less time consuming.
The first major way that mobile technology is changing our society is how we communicate with others.  Not that long ago, to talk to someone, we would have to be on a land line at home, at work, or a phone booth.  Now we have cell phones and for many people the old ways have become irrelevant.   We can now talk to anyone from anywhere we want.  There is also texting which allows us to send quick messages to people whom we were previously only able to do so by emails, letters, and faxes.  Phones with texting and calling have advanced our society much farther than it already was.  Our current society has far more choices for communicating now due to our advance in mobile technology.
Only years ago, for people to go onto the internet, we had to sit down at a computer and use our mouse and key boards to go on the internet to check our emails or research topics.  Now with our society’s new mobile technology our ability to use the internet has completely changed.  We are now able to use the phone that we have and go on the internet in a few touches of the screen or a few button presses.  Then we have all the access to the internet’s information that we were once able to only do sitting down at a computer screen.  This made our society more efficient and less time consuming.  We do not have to worry about having time to sit down at a computer to access urgent information or even things that are not as urgent.  Either way the mobile technology that we have now is saving time, making the internet easier to access, and allowing the internet’s many sources to be accessed at the palm of your hand. 
Business has become much easier now due to our advances in mobile technology.  Partners working on a project can just send a quick text, call, or email necessary information to their business partner rather than having to tell them face to face.  There is no more waiting until somebody arrives, or waiting until the next day to get information from your partner.  Business has become much simpler making the business more efficient so they can make more money in less time, and not waste time and effort waiting on a partner or waiting to find out a meeting time.  Mobile technology has affected business positively with mobile technology. 
Mobile technology has completely changed how our society is and how things work.  It has made many things much simpler for the people that use mobile technology.  There are negative things that are accompanying all of the positives.  The positives still far out way the negatives, which makes mobile technology so good for our society.  Making us far more efficient at the things we do in our everyday lives.

Blog Free Writing

I thought that blogging is a great way to express your personal feelings.  The movie Julie and Julia was a great movie that i thought portrayed blogging in the most positive way.  Julie was doing what she liked to do which was blog and she was also cooking which was another thing that she really enjoyed doing.  So when she put that into a blog it was the perfect combination.  I also thought that the movie was great because they showed Julias journey to publishing her cook book.  From her just getting into cooking, helping edit her friends cook book, and making it her own and getting it published.  It was a good story that was perfect for being in a movie. Julie and Julia was a movie that taught me about blogs since i was not very well educated about what blogs were before the movie.  It showed me the positives that can come out of a blog and the negatives if you are not careful what you post on your blog.  In my opinion blogs are a good thing as long as you know how to use it correctly and dont put to much personal information out onto the blog.

Social Media Free Writing

I thought that this video was crazy and it had so much information that was mind boggling.  One of the things that was very crazy to me was how much faster people were using facebook than, tv, radio etc.  I just was amazed that this social media is so much bigger than anything that has been done in the recent history of the world. Then the quote that seemed very interesting was the one that said we do not look for advertisment, advertisment will find us.  Then it came up with the stats on how many advertisments were on facebook on a daily basis.  Then i also thought that it was pretty crazy how 93% of people interviewed had said that they had watched a short clip on there phone in the past month.  So 9 out of 10 people have seen a video on there phone which just proves to me how big this social media movement is.  Its not just a small little thing that few people know about.  It is a world wide phenomena that is sweeping the entire world.  It doesnt seem like it will be long untill everyone will be using social media yound and old alike.  Overall i thought that this whole video was interesting and that it was so educational to me.  It just shows how much of the social media is taking over our everyday lives in america and throughout the world.
