So I was thinking about how useful technology can be.
Yesterday evening I was at a free concert that Shepherd put on. It took place out
in front of the dining hall. I really loved this one particular band that was
playing, so I recorded some of their songs on my phone so that I could listen to
them later. I was able to take pictures of them and even look them up on the
internet. Now, don’t get me wrong, they were just a college garage band, but
all of this technology allowed me to find this band that I loved. Technology
has many disadvantages, but it also has many positive effects. So I think that
all of those people who say such harsh things regarding technology are just
bigoted. They refuse to look at all of the good things that technology can achieve.
It makes me laugh that those that bash technology, are also the people that use
technology the most. Like the elderly that say that the younger generation is
so absorbed in technology that they can’t even hold conversations, yet they are
the ones that are so absorbed with Candy Crush that they play it even at the
dinner table.
I love being able to capture the good moments on my phone. Fairmont did a free concert kind of thing with Sammy Adams and I got some video of it on my old phone as well. It is nice to look back on these things.
ReplyDeleteMan, last night gave such good vibes! I loved seeing everyone out listening to local music together. There wasn't all that much technology being used either, from what I observed; most people were really in the moment!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't able to watch them play. But I did look at your snap-chat story later that day and got to watch the videos you took. Which was pretty amazing. I guess that's one good thing about technology. Everyone can share experiences.
ReplyDeleteSounds like that was a cool event!
