Technology is around us everywhere we go. Essentially, it is taking over our lives. I definitely agreed with Dora's blog post "Digital versus Print" (Dora). She has some great points and everything she states is agreeable. People in todays society rely on technology everyday.
Books are the last thing a person will think to get information on a topic. This is because books are inaccurate, and up to date. Dora says in her blog "It is not common to find people using resources from a book".(Dora) This is completely agreeable because it is a fact. Print is slowly diminishing from the eye of young students and being replaced with digital.
Books aren't updated every day. Dora states "All the information we may need is in the palm of our hands".(Dora) As this is true,in the print world, it takes several minutes to either go to the index or get a paper cut scrambling through pages. Information is so simple to find by the touch of a screen. We can search a topic within thirty seconds with the technology at hand today.
As a student, books are big, bulky, and just an annoyance.Dora explains that "Print uses up paper that effects the environment".(Dora) She is completely correct. Digital doesn't have that complex issue. There's no cost to the environment. Digital is slim, paperless, and most importantly, environment safe.
Today's society will always rely on technology. There will always be hand held devices that are quick and reliable. Tomorrow, technology will be better and faster. People will continue to use it and fall in love with it. It has taken over our lives as a generation.
