After receiving feedback from Abbey for my blog post, “Could I live without digital communication technologies”, I have made some changes to my original post to ensure it is more engaging and informative.

"Today's students are no longer the people our education students are designed to teach"-Mark Prensky

I believe that digital communication technologies are necessity in my everyday life in which I cannot live without. According to Orleans Marketing Group, 2018 “Over 3.8 billion people use the internet today, which is 40% of the world’s population.”

I have become reliant on technology when developing through the years as a form of education, as well as additionally everyday participating in digital communication from my phone or laptop screen. Living without these technologies would be a challenge as I would feel lost if it was taken away from me.

Tech spikes established three reasons in which humans cannot live without technology as they allow a form of entertainment, keep us feeling safe and educate. Technology advancements make us feel safe as long as we are with our phones we are able to retrieve a map that allows us to distinguish where we are as well as the opportunity to have apps like “safe zone” that is used within universities to allow staff and students immediately call for an emergency or simply first aid. Technology has made an impact on people’s lives (Boyle 2016). Boyle depicts that in today’s society a pencil is “unaided by both copy-and-paste” thus implying that technology is restricting individuals from being originals but alternately being ‘copy cats’.
