Shaped by Technology

All types of media mostly generated and communicated by technology are shaping our thinking, behaviours and our lives (more or less). The relation to performativity [the daily behaviour of individuals based on the norms of the society in which they live (Wikipedia)]; eventually, we live in a society highly impacted by technology reflected through a number of media mediums.

Though I am sure it applies to all of you guys, along with millions of people around the world, I may be describing myself when I state my ‘incompleteness’ without one, if not all, of the media ways I got myself accustomed almost every day; my mobile, my music player, my computer, my internet [with its wide selection of email, blog, multiple examples of social software, etc], my TV, my palm handled, to mention a few. Here is a worth reading article about how technology is shaping our lives, to which many of you would relate: Can you imagine your life without a cell phone? A computer? A TV?.

Some argue that our thumbs are getting bigger due to the daily and constant exposure to mobile and most technological devices. What do you think about that!!!
