In this weeks post i will explain my reaction to the claim that technology is an extension of man. i believe this quote is intriguing because to me it seems as if the development of technology is equivalent to the development /evolution of man. written word can be seen as technology as it allowed humans to take their thoughts from their mind and put it on paper or stone for others to see. as humans progressed, technology advanced as well. the radio allowed voice to be transmitted across the country to large masses. this development helped spread live voices to hundreds of people which would typically reach a few amount of people. film allowed man to express their philosophy and imagination in a creative way to the masses. in my opinion this creation helped humans become more mindful and insightful to new ideas. thoughts that people wouldn’t typically have were expressed in film changing perceptions of different topics and concepts. in modern times our smartphones are seen as our daily tracker. our phones keep track of when we wake up(alarms), our schedule, important dates, connects us to those we need. to me smartphones show our social evolution. before phone, man had to manually write down important information, be mindful of our own schedule, and relationships. phones keep track of all of these things easily, making life in a way more convenient. on one hand we are more prepared for our daily lives. But, our reliance of phones to keep track of our affairs is making lazy.
