I use technology heavily in everyday life. I can use it to pay for and or purchase things, travel, communicate, and entertain myself. Without it, I could not get through the day. I can quickly and easily address difficulties with technology by a click of my finger.
For example, I didn't have cash or a card on me before I'd be left defenseless but because of technology I am able to digitally have access to my money and be able to pay with just a double tap.

Technology is a part of every second throughout my day. Starting from the alarm set on my phone waking me up every morning, to the rain sounds my Alexa plays when I go to sleep, I am constantly using electronics. Without technology in my day-to-day life, I would have to submit assignments manually rather than uploading them as a PDF. The digital age that we are living in is one that gives us the ability to find a solution to almost every single one of our problems. Whether mapping out the quickest route to campus so that I can get an extra hour of sleep, or organizing my work schedule using a reminder app, technology allows me to work around my issues without even noticing it. Doing my everyday tasks, such as assignments, technology assists me in this process. From spellchecking to suggestions for improved sentence structures, I am able to complete these tasks much more efficiently. Technology has also helped the environment as it gives direct access to items such as tickets, receipts, and documents, reducing the use of paper and promoting eco-friendly substitutes.

When I think about technology, I always think about how life used to be back then to now. Back in the days people used to read books to get information about something which costs money. Now we have the internet that we can use a search engine to look up information instantly. When people want to watch media, we had to use filmreels and VHS where they can wear quickly. Now we have Blu-ray and streaming media with high quality. People were the only people who mass produce products with no assistance, but now they have the help with machines that are told what to do. We have to dig in our wallets to find specific amounts of cash and it gets lost sometimes, but now we can use a tap of a card to buy stuff, and you can now get stuff online. People back then must use a USB port or a floppy disk, but now we have clouds where we make an account and all is saved. In general, modern technology has helped us a lot to make the complicated tasks easier with technology in the past evolving.

The role of technology in my daily life has been very useful. I feel like technology has advantages as well as disadvantages. Probably like for everyone else I use my phone for alarms and to set remainders of the things I need to do. I also use it to go to school since I have to drive mostly everyday. In addition I use it every morning to check the weather to help me dress comfortably for the day. Technology also makes it easier for me to communicate with my parents since I barely see them because of their jobs.

Technology has played a huge role in my daily life. Every single day, I’m always using technology one way or another. Most of the time though, I use my phones daily either for entertainment, for work, or for traveling. Although some people may say that technology is slowly ruining and taking over our lives, I believe it’s the opposite; it’s helping a lot of people, me included, to address many issues they have in their lives. For example, I’m very, very, very bad at directions, even with a physical map in my hands, I will still get lost. But, with google map in hand, with it actually showing me where I need to go, I can easily go from one destination to another with little hindrance. Another example is entertainment, mainly music. Music plays a huge part of my life, and it’s something I value above a lot of things; without it, my daily life would be boring, and it’d be extremely difficult for me to get through the day. With my phone, however, listening to music has never been easier. I can listen to it whenever and wherever I want, and that alone relieves the stress of the day for me.

Technology plays a vital role in my everyday life. When I wake up in the morning, I have the accessibility of checking bus times and even time in general through my phone or the clock. There's an automatic door for entering the bus which is very helpful. Technology is all around us and sometimes we don't even realize its presence. When I enter campus, I can just scan my ID instead of swiping it even though swiping is also a part of technology. I can do my assignments on my computer, I don't have to print papers (still a form of technology) I can just write emails to professors which makes my life a lot easier. Writing a letter and mailing it to a professor would be such a problem for me now but if I didn't live in this time i would surely appreciate such technology during whatever time I lived in (before emails). At the end, technology is everywhere and the technology that has made our lives easier today might seem problematic and "too much" to future generations as they might have advanced technology. It was the same for people in the past, they appreciated all of the new technological advancements that were happening in their time but we consider them as "hard", "too much", or simply problems.

technology plays a huge role in my daily life, making tasks more easier to navigate. My smartphone and apps help me stay connected with my family and friends, manage schedules, and access information quickly. Social media helps me stay updated with current events and connect with people around the world. For entertainment purpose it offers me a way to relax and have fun watching reels. Technology makes learning easier because of all the educational apps, and the access to resources. Calendar and task management apps helps me stay organized and remind me of important deadlines and appointments, reducing the risk of missing them.

Technology is something that I use every day especially for school I have a Computer where I can do my assignments more faster and easier. I also use my Phone every day to make calls to text my friends to email people. I remember I was getting lost and did not know what to do thanks to my phone I was able to reach out to my house I used google maps which guide me to the destination I was heading to. Another time was when the bus left me in a place I did not know I did not know what to do so I call my mom to send me a taxi so I can reach my destination. Technology has saved my life many times.

Technology, the use of scientific knowledge in human life, has always been a part of me. Everything is one Google search away. Am I wondering something? Am I having trouble with an assignment? Am I having symptoms of something? Am I stuck on a puzzle? All the answers are there. Since I play video games, technology has always helped me on parts that I'm stuck on. It could be a level, puzzle, decision-making, and the results. It is my go-to guidebook. I also use technology when buying online. If I can't get something specific in person, surely I can get it online and quickly pay for it. Without the use of technology, I would have many hardships in terms of even functioning in my daily life. I wouldn't be able to order food, clothes, and necessities, help myself on assignments I'm stuck on, answer any wonders in life, or even wake up for school. Technology has helped me to avoid any upcoming problems. For example, if I have trouble waking up on time, I can put an alarm for several times. Or, if a lost a documentation, I would have it on my phone.

# data[].attributes.body
In my daily life, technology has become very important to me because I use it to be informed on certain topics, communicate with other people keeping in contact with them, entertainment and now practicing animation for my future career. I can even use it to pay for things as well, check my information and keep up with the times. Because I use technology, I see how social media and people on it function. Technology gives media a chance to show what some can do for better or worse like creating art or entertaining people, but also spreading misinformation and using media to start problems, manipulate those unaware enough to fall for things like scams or trying to debate on things that divide people. To put it simply, technology is a mixed bag.

Technology is used a great amount of time in my home or even outside and using it does help me with issues before it can affect my daily life. Technology has helped me within my daily life, it has helped with my education. There are many times where I don’t understand an assignment so I begin to give up but I realized I can reach out to my teachers in an easier way which is through technology. I was able to solve the issue before it came to effect. There are many other things that I have done that technology has helped me within my daily life such as researching for assignments, Assignments are very important throughout my daily life so I usually would need to do research on my assignments technology helps me solve that issue before i begins by letting me browse through apps and websites for answers on things I may not understand and need to learn about with any guidance. Technology helps me on many levels when it comes to my daily life like, finding my phone or any other electronics that maybe lost. This is how technology helps within my daily life.

What is the relationship between media and technology?

# data[].attributes.body
The relationship between media and technology is while media refers to more of the entertainment side, technology promotes the processes of media. In other words, the media relies on technology. While technology begins to improve overtime, it also shapes how media is presented to people. For example, back in the day there were “delivery boys” who would go around to every house and deliver the newspapers while in today’s age you turn on your TV and you see what’s going on everywhere right from your couch. Therefore not many people's instinct is to look for the newspaper anymore. This is from technical advancements. All in all, media and technology come hand-in-hand and will always keep redefining each other.

Technology is an important role with my daily life. It brings me help, communication, entertainment, and life style. The role in technology is to make my life more easier and accessible to my everyday needs. Addressing problems before they turn into problems on my daily life. Is kind of having an a source of power around you. I always check in the mornings the weather. By checking the weather I can avoid problems like, not having an umbrella on a rainy day. Or being to under or over dresses on certain days. When it comes to time, I can always check the time when ever I would like. Allowing me to set up alarms, avoiding being late, or never not knowing the time. The technology now has developed apps to which helps me prevent day to day problems, or even fix them. If I run out of groceries or don't have any. I can just order food or groceries. If I ever need a solution/instructions or life hacks, I can search them on google, youtube, or tik tok. Technology allows me to address the problems in my daily life by having solutions before the problems can occur.

Technology has always been involved in peoples lives and now is more incorporated than ever. In my daily life the role of technology is my phone being my alarm clock, my communication, my entertainment, my reading, my wallet, my homework, etc. It's literally everything. And because it is everything on just one techonolgical device it has allowed me to address the daily problems of my life even before they happened because I can set an alarm for the whole week and not wake up late. I can set up reminders so I know when to do an assignment. I can set up my debit card to pay something without even taking out my card.

1. What is the role of technology in your daily life? How has technology allowed you to address problems of daily life (before they even became problems?)

The role of technology in my daily life is once I wake up without it, I don’t know how I will function. I use it to set my alarm to be able to wake up, check the weather to see what I’m going to wear, talk to family and friends, see if the trains are working so I can go on with my day, etc. I use technology for school we don’t use paper as much anymore everything has to be done on my computer or something that is technology. When we were in middle school, we didn’t use technology everything had to be done on paper. When COVID came, we did everything on technology if we didn’t log in to Zoom, we would fail because we didn’t have class in person. For us teens, the moment COVID hit was when we were on technology 24/7, and we became addicted to technology. We couldn’t go outside or hang out with friends; we were bored, so technology was our best friend for those years COVID happened. We can’t live without technology because everything can be done with it. Before I could fix my problems on my own and figure it out. Now that I know that technology can help me and it will be easier I use it for everything. I get lost I go to Google Maps and find my way out. The trains don’t work I go to Google and see what’s another way I can get to my destination. If I need my mom to help me do something, I can call her on the phone, and she can help me through the phone. Some problems can’t be solved with technology, and I have to figure it out myself, but I mostly use technology to help me.

2. What is the relationship between media and technology?

The relationship between media and technology is technology-created media. The books we read online, social media, phones, newspapers, movies, TV shows, etc are media. The things we do every day involve media if you think about it. The books we read, social media, what we use for school and to communicate with others, things we watch, etc.

Having been born in the age of technology I believe technology is an essential part of my life and I use it every day. Specifically I use technology for gaming, networking on social media platforms, or find inspiration for various art activities. But there are also other sorts of technologies that I use that I don’t really think about. For instance, we use pen and paper to write and take notes. Before people used ink and a quill. Even something like typing wasn’t so convenient. Before typing on an application like Word, people used a typewriter, which you weren’t allowed to make mistakes on because if you did you would have to start the whole paper over. Means of transport is also considered technology, I take the bus every morning to school. If I need the latest news I don’t need to wait for a newspaper to be published, if I want to watch my favorite tv show I don’t need to wait a whole week for the next episode. Maps are accessible from my phone, I can listen to music without the radio or a cd, and even doors are made to open automatically in some places. If I want to, I can order groceries or shop for clothes online and have them delivered to my house the same day. I do not even have to complain about going to research for anything because I have a plethora of articles and books online to scroll through instead of looking through various books at the library. Technology has made my everyday life extremely convenient and I sometimes take for granted the things I have just at my fingertips. Though there are positives to technology there are also negatives and ethical questions that arises with upcoming advancements of AI- primarily how it can take jobs or do work for students. Technology can even affect how we consume content like news, or even tv shows since it is so readily accessible. Technology is a big part of everyone's life in this generation, but how we use it and how it impacts one’s life varies.

Media and technology are closely intertwined, with each continually shaping the other. Technological innovations transform how media is created, distributed, and consumed, enabling faster and more interactive experiences. At the same time, evolving media trends push the development of new technologies to meet the demands of modern audiences. This dynamic relationship leads to the convergence of content formats like text, video, and audio, fostering innovative storytelling and engagement opportunities. Together, media and technology evolve in a feedback loop, driving cultural and technological change.

The role of technology in my daily life is that I can easily communicate with people through text messages, calls and emails if I’m not able to meet up with them physically. I usually go on social media to keep track with the content creators that I follow and are in the art community like me, also to be alert about the events happening around the world. If I need to check my spelling and grammar, I can use a spell check on a word or google document before submitting off an assignment. Technology allowed me to address problems of daily life by doing research depending on the problem and always finding a solution to it. Before technology became a thing, people used to communicate through writing letters by hand or using a typewriter if they were away for certain reasons. Without a spelling check, it made it harder for people who had to redo a letter because they made spelling and grammar errors. Some people tend to hide their interests from others because they feel uncomfortable sharing it in person and always left out. With the help of social media, they don’t have to feel like they need to hide away they just have the safe space to share about their interests with everyone else in the online world. Some may say that people are becoming too addicted to technology because they spend all day on it, but it has its own benefits that made people’s lives much more easier and improving their weaknesses.

Technology plays a huge role in my daily life, considering everything around me is a form of technology. For example, I start my day by turning off my phone's alarm. Without my phone or the alarm, I wouldn't be able to start my day at the designated time I want. I depend on the alarms on my phone to remind me to do things and to simply start my day. I use things like a water flosser and a toothbrush in the morning, which are simple forms of technology that make my day slightly easier. Another example would be my commute to school. I have a car that I drive to and from campus, without the car, I would have to wake up earlier to catch a bus or train to get to school. Getting on campus is made easier with my digital ID; I can simply pull up a picture of my digital ID and get into the campus instead of looking for my wallet and pulling out the physical card (another form of technology). Technology has allowed me to address problems of daily life by making tasks easier. In present times, technology makes lives easier because everything is at our fingertips (phone, laptop, transportation). Access to food is another example, if I ever get hungry at home, I can simply order what I want at the touch of a button. Without apps like Uber Eats and Doordash, I would have to physically make something or go outside and get something to eat, which now sounds very inconvenient compared to the apps we have access to.

It is hard to ignore the ever-growing role of technology in modern society. Its hold over the people is tight as it seeps into the everyday life of humanity. Stretching from communication and design to even entertainment. Technology is introducing a new peak of advancements and efficiency worldwide. I guarantee that if you were to tour a random house, you would likely run into many different variants of such. Televisions, phones, computers, a whole database are at the disposal of human use. Even in my household, I find devices spread around the rooms, adding convenience to my life. From my phone alarms to research for Lehman or just for my interest. I often hear from older people who didn’t have such a luxury of technology at their disposal bash and criticize the work ethic of newer generations. However, the usefulness of such gifts is too valuable to not take advantage of. While technology does have its downsides, it also aids humanity in an overwhelming amount of ways. My phone is a daily part of my life that adds smoothness and organization. My phone is multipurpose and can give easy access to the web and its entirety to find solutions to problems. An online bank that can add or track your hard-earned money. Need extra cash before you leave the house? Add some. Need groceries before you run out? Order delivery. All the possibilities are in our palm. Technology helps keep things tidy, such as schoolwork, notes, and more, which you can find all in one place, which for me is my laptop. Freedom from the extra stress of doing all of this manually. From hard work to self-care of music and entertainment, our devices have it all, and I am grateful for the benefits that modern tech brings.

Technology plays an integral role in my daily life by streamlining various tasks and enhancing efficiency. From communication to entertainment, it has transformed how I interact with the world around me. One significant way it helps is through problem solving and predictive tools, allowing me to address potential problems before they become a burden. For example, timers set to keep me on schedule, google any questions or concerns and notes apps to help me stay organized, while the built in maps app prevent me from getting lost. Additionally, health apps monitor my well being and alert me to potential issues, thus preventing them from becoming larger problems. In conclusion I struggle to find any issue that your phone won’t have an issue solving especially the up to date ones but it makes you wonder will the technology go to far and take over our lives to an unhealthy obsessive level?

The relationship between media and technology is a very simple one. They work together while also changing one another. Technology has changed how we consume media. For example social media isnt what it used to be, because technology has made it possible for it to be super advanced, we engage with content completely different than how we used to. We have been able to create virtual realities, Ai's even self driving cars with how advanced technology has gotten. Media has also driven technology advancements, pushing technology to make more immersive experiences, pushing for different forms of technology for quicker information sharing overall working hand in hand to what has been done now.

# data[].attributes.body
The role that technology has over me is quite literally worrying. Joking, but in realty technology is apart of my daily in every moment by the way I listen to music through my headphones, I watch shows through my phone, I do my homework through my computer or any research on a paper. With technology its allowed me to solve my problems more faster not stressing to go through a whole textbook for a project and all I have to do is go on a google search and that's it. As well as a person who struggles to find clothes with my size so I can easily go on second hand clothes site that I can find my clothes. Technology has helped me with a reminder of when to do my work and make it more simpler so I'm stress free of the work.

Now the most common ways to get media is by technology, most people don't use newspaper anymore. Technology and media are closely related to each other. Media is dependent on technological advancements to exist and reach audiences, and technology can be regarded as a medium when it facilitates communication and the sharing of information. Technology serves as the tool or platform that makes media content creation, distribution, and consumption possible. It would be impossible to create or successfully distribute media material, such as news, videos, music, and written pieces, without the use of technology instruments like computers, cellphones, printing presses, and broadcasting systems.
