Allow me to introduce myself and my blog.
I am a journalism student in Brantford, Ontario, Canada, and I've created this blog for my citizen journalism class. The focus of the blog is to keep an eye on the technology community and the advancements that society is making. My belief is that society is taking technology very far and it might end up being the death of us. Don't get me wrong- I do enjoy and partake in technology. I have an iPad, a Blackberry, an Xbox 360, a laptop, etc. Therefore I am not completely biased against technology. I will be discussing the ways that our society's technology is making us "lazy" for one, as well as our destructive nature.
This blog may or may not be slightly inspired by George Orwell's 1984 as well as Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. The aim is that our society is not that far off from what is depicted in novels such as these two, despite the novels being written before the current century.
Feel free to discuss and debate on the topics that I blog about. Check out the links I'll be posting. Read my tweets or follow me on Twitter. Thanks!
