Does Technology Control Us or Do We Control Technology?


My answer was the latter one and it is the former one now! What makes the change is an Iphone with an unlimited data plan!

Without an Iphone, I didn’t switch on my netbook everyday. I just used it by mood or purposes such as doing assignments. I was definitely a controller over the technology. I survived without network as it was not convenient for me to use the netbook. I had to rescue it first from my mountain of notes and books on my desk and clear all those stuff from my chair! Haha!

Using an Iphone, I was not constrained to a fixed place. I can use my Iphone to surf the network by anytime and any place. In less than a month, I formed my habit of checking Facebook, finding free apps by itunes and playing apps and games everyday! Here are some captures of my Iphone frame and the apps I played.

  5. haha i am also the one of the 7/10 people in MTR. Iphone is like a world without boundaries that have infinite things for you to discover. But i suggest you to clear some apps that you wont use otherwise your iphone will become slow when loading.

  6. For the "evolution" of iPhone, somehow it changed our thought of "Phones are phones, only send and receive calls."
    We can now access different apps through such smartphones, for the biggest purpose: communication, but a new way.
    Sometimes we change technology, but when the new technology comes out, it changes us!
