What’s up brochachos

I’m back again with vlog numero dos

This week we’re gonna be chatting about technology and social media use! Obviously in our society, especially in the younger population, internet use has skyrocketed in the last 10 years.  What are some advantages and disadvantages of the internet-driven world we live in today?

My personal phone use is minimal compared to other people my age. I average about 2 hours per day on my phone, whereas many of my friends average 5 hours and up.  I try to always keep my phone near me so in case of an emergency I am available, but I do my best not to have my face in the screen 24/7. I feel like constantly being on your phone limits the way you live, really.  People who spend all their time on social media and their phones in general usually don’t have very good communication skills, because they are more adapted to texting rather than talking face-to-face. I think this is one major disadvantage in our new technological society.

There are many advantages, however. One such advantage is how fast we can reach people with information. In events of natural disasters, the public has never been so quick to understand the circumstances. We can reach anyone across the country and really across the globe in a matter of seconds. The technological progress we have made in the last century is truly incredible.
