how does technology affect the way information is shared?
technology is a key tool in the sharing of information. starting with the invention of stone carving an idea or message and sending it with someone to be spread where that person goes. when letters came into play and that turned the world upside down. it was so much more efficient to just send a letter with something written on it across vast distances and get the message across. but the modern use of technology is a tool for which humans dont know every way to use. for example, the use of facebook and twitter are great ways to share information with family and friends but it also is a double edged sword. what i mean by that is even though technology is a great way to send information across the planet it is also an even better way to receive and read information. an example that i am familiar with is posting a picture of yourself that is not appropriate and having a college admissions person see it or a college coach and end up losing that opportunity. technology is a great tool to spread one persons ideas and thoughts to the rest of the globe but always be mind full of what you put on the internet because it could come back and huant you.
