Add a reaction to "Technology, Progress, and Freedom" by Katie Dunlap https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh Comment on 1 other person's response en-us 2018-02-15 20:48:18 UTC 2018-02-16 17:08:35 UTC hello@padlet.com In Younkins (2000)'s article, "Technology, Progress, and Freedom," he mentions that society should not resist technological change because it would hinder the development of basic needs. I think this is interesting as technology could potentially help us better address sustainable development in all parts of the world. Businesses and industries are already using these practices to develop more green practices in their environment. katie_dunlap1 https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232184273 2018-02-15 22:44:42 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232184273 Reading the article I felt that the author made a few glaring generalizations about how technology can positively impact a population, as the proliferation of technology has not reached all parts of the world. Furthermore, I feel that solving some of our problems with technology has introduced other problems (such as Internet or smartphone addition) that we are not fully equipped with diagnosing and combating. katie_dunlap1 https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232223406 2018-02-16 04:11:34 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232223406 From when Younkins wrote his article (2000), a lot have changed. Back them, people's relationship with technology were different and less addicioned. Thinking about that, I agree technology really makes our lifes easier, but we always need to be sure it must be a tool and not the main purpose of our lives. https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232378840 2018-02-16 15:42:56 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232378840 Younkins (2000) says in his article Technology, Progress, and Freedom "Technological advances improve people's standart of living..." I don't agree with this statement, because technology can be used as a medium to control people's lives. https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232379106 2018-02-16 15:43:23 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232379106 https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232379211 The article shows the pros of using new techonologies. In my opinion, the implementation of technology in our life has a lot of benefits that foster our abilities as human beings. In addition, the right use of techonologies is key to allow people to have more opportunities.]]> 2018-02-16 15:43:32 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232379211 https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232379214 In Younkins (2000) the author explains the benefits of the technology in our daily routine and how the technology can helps, but in my opinion it depend of the situation. Technology could facilitate our activities at job or home, but you could be dependent of technology; for this reason, you can feel than you do not need to invert a lot of effort. For this instance, if we support the use of technology, Are we and innovative person?  or if we are not agree with the technology, Are we against to the development of our society? ]]> 2018-02-16 15:43:32 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232379214 https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232379316 In Younkins (2000)'s article, "Technology, Progress, and Freedom," he highlights the importance of developing new technologies in order to make people´s life easier. Indeed, he describes the risks from falling in a technological stagnation. Personally, I agree with this current of thought. I believe that technology represents a great opportunity for human´s progress and that we might take and advantage of it.]]> 2018-02-16 15:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232379316 In relation to the article "Technology, Progress and Freedom", I don't believe that technology has improved people's standard of living. Althought it brings many advantages, it also create too many problems that are really difficult to resolve such as internet, phone and computer dependance, lack of creativity and open air activities, sedentarism, and virtual relationships instead of face to face meetings. https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232379396 2018-02-16 15:43:48 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232379396 https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232379715 Katie said she had agreed the Younkins(2000)'s article, "Technology, Progress, and Freedom".

He says that there are a lot of benefits that technology gives us. In my opinion, I agree with the author that if we use technology, we are able to do more things, however, he does not see the negative aspects of it and I think it is important to notice them in order to make a good response. https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232379765 2018-02-16 15:44:30 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232379765 New Era https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232380374 Technological advances are unstoppable. we are experiencing the new improvements in our own life where dairy routines that would makes us struggle has almost became something less important, and it is allowing us to concentrate in higher level concerns as mention in "Technology, Progress, and Freedom", Younkins (2000)]]> 2018-02-16 15:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232380374 https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232380544  In Technology, Progress, and Freedom, Younkis said that advancements in technology allows people to spend time doing more important things such as personality and religion (2000).
I highly disagree because lately, concern has arisen about how much time people spend using tech devices and using social media. ]]> 2018-02-16 15:45:39 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232380544 Good point! I agree with you that it depends on the situation. We can risk becoming too dependent on technology and then feel lost without it. https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232381564 2018-02-16 15:47:28 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232381564 I agree with Katie’s opinion; technology is a useful tool that can help to develop any field because technology makes easier the sharing of knowledge, in addition you can work with real-time information doesn’t matter what part of the world is the source. https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232382319 2018-02-16 15:48:49 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232382319 Vannya https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232383240 I agree with Diogo, sometimes people can be more worried about buy the newest phone than about spending time with their childrens.]]> 2018-02-16 15:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232383240 https://padlet.com/katie_dunlap1/wb27l6gty0yh/wish/232383495 I completely agree with Esthefany because I think is really important to take into account that technology is not the main purpose of our lives and we need to learn how to control it in order to enjoy real life.
