In this week’s issue of The Centurion the staff explores technology and the negative effects it can have on our lives.
We have explored the pressure of having the newest gadgets; oversharing on Facebook; problems with distance learning; the possibility of getting fatter and dumber from being online all the time; dangers of texting and driving; relationships hurt by Facebook; privacy with social media; texting vs. talking; having no cell phone; 3D movies and the pricing of smart phones.
Facebook has reconnected friends from the past and families from across the country but it also creates drama. Whether you want to know a person’s personal problems or what they had to eat or not, it will be in your face within five minutes of logging onto your Facebook account.
