How Technology has impacted my daily life.
Technology has impacted me in many different ways. I work for a cellular phone company. So I make good money there because well pretty much everyone in today's day has a cell phone. I work for a pretty popular company so that makes it even easier. Another form of technology that has impacted my life for the good and bad is the internet with MySpace. Yes MySpace has helped me further my career in dancing but it has also cause problems with my relationships. So technology helps me make money pretty much, and I see nothing wrong with that at all. In my life technology is completely unavoidable I have to have a cell phone because it is mandatory for my job and I have to use the internet because that is mandatory for school and my job. Some people may not be effected by technology this much, but I find it hard to believe. I live for my phone if I were to loose it I’m not sure what I would do. It has everything in it, from my schedule to everyone I know phone number and addresses and even small stuff like pictures that I would not want to loose. That is how technology has impacted my life on a daily basis.

Cyber Technology
Cyber technology is just as big of an influence as pop culture. More then likely people spend most of their daily time online some sort of way. People use all types of things to connect with other people or to entertain themselves. It is a big part of most peoples lives whether we would like to believe it or not it is. If the world did not have the Internet think of what we would be doing. We would not even have this class to participate in. In the world today we need this technology to function to pretty much do anything. Think about what we would do if we could not use the latest technology ie laptops, computers, ipods, cell phones, pdas. Even some house hold appliances, could we stand not to have these items now that we are accustomed to them. Of course not.

Pop culture has shaped my life
Pop culture has shaped my life in more ways then one. I don’t think that anyone’s life has yet to be shaped by some form of pop culture. In today’s day in age everything that is done or watched or even listened to help to shape our future. Whether it is what we are wearing, what we think is ok to watch, who we idolize, and what we end up enjoying. People are controlled by pop culture in i.e. the media. The media tells us what we should like and, what we shouldn’t. We depict or mimic petty much everything we do from people we see or hear about. When I think about when I was in high school I think about what influenced me to listen to the stuff I listened to. To dress the way I did as well as to act the way I acted. I think that I based most of the stuff I did off of things I seen on TV or what the popular people or celebrities were doing wearing or listening too. For example when a new song came out on mtv or on the radio they played it so much you could not help but to like it or they talked it up so much you just wanted to buy it with out even listening to the song itself. Pop culture had a great influence on my life and still does today.
