2.Does technology shaped us or is it us who shaped technology? Explain your answer and give an example.
Both. As we reveal tech, it reveals us. Tech changes us. As we change, so does tech. Humans are inventors by nature, and the inventions are invented for the purpose of the influence they have on us.
The answer is actually dependent on how “us” is defined, and it can go either way or even both at times!
If an individual has the means to go and acquire whatever advancements in technology is available, he/she/them are more likely to be shaped, influenced and may even be completely dependent on technology…..
On the other hand if the person is very knowledgeable, creative, driven and astute individual, he/she as a prime mover may instead be the one that to influence and shape the development of technology.
So there is really no clear cut answer to your question. The answer is or will be dependent on so many variables
How did facebook affect the quantity and quality of information available to people? Is it a good thing or bad thing?
Facebook do affect the quality and quantity of information. Most of facebook users share everything they want or every information that it is very shocking without verification. It aftects the quality since most of the time “fake news” are everywhere and people tend to believe everything what they read or discover. In quality, lots of information is given and it is very hard to determine wether it is true or not. The quantity is at high because anyone can share and give their stand or opinion in a certain topic or situation.
For me, there is a two different sides. It is a good thing since we are going to have many sources of information for our basis but in the same way in is not good since we cannot easily determine if what is right. It is also good to have a different quality of information base on the situation if it is a personal experience or something should not be shared or a news that should be dessiminate to everyone. Bad in the way that there are lots of information that is why you didn’t know what to believe.
