A Journey of Self Reflection: Apple, Google, Facebook in the Eyes of a Fellow Lawrentian

 

 

 

 

          My overall experience throughout the religious studies 245 course of Apple, Google, Facebook was absolutely innovating and revolutionizing to say the least.  This class had a profound impact on my overarching use of technology  as a whole and truly led me to recollect on my own personal level of self-awareness within my current use of digital databases. Three subjects that had the most proficient impact on my overall experience within the class consisted of reading Steve Jobs biography as well as listening to both the TED talk of Sherry Turkle as well as the presentation by Dr. Larry Rosen on the iDisorder. I will forever do my best to strive towards living a hungry, yet foolish lifestyle. As the saying goes, "to be old and wise, one must first be young and stupid." Dr. Larry Rosen and Sherry Turkle both helped me see ways to enhance and change my overall technological use of facebook, my cell phone, and all the other devices maintaining a priority amongst my life. 

  

          Ultimately, each action I take in the future regarding my use of technology will forever be changed by the tremendous impacts this class has had on my life as a whole. I have made a strong and conscious effort to be aware of what I am doing at every moment in time and will continue to take into consideration the effects technology has on the ability to not only impact my life, but too also the lives of all those around me. Both a self-awareness in myself has furthermore allowed me to be constantly alert in seeing what is going on throughout the world-wide and local community around me. In the same way as the video below, Apple, Google, Facebook has taught me to be more concentrated, to be alert, and has expressed to myself the need for me to wake up and smell the roses. I need to become liberated from the things hindering my experience as a human being and produce a more trusting lifestyle of habits via exploring the worlds of digital databases around me. I certainly hope my new found journey through the Twitterverse continues to help me through this process as well.



Thank you for following my journey through Apple, Google, Facebook! :)
