"Leave the cell phone at the door"
Q: What are the consequences of assimilating into a digital culture?
Lets take me for example me. this year is my first year owning my own computer, and with that come a lot of responsibility. At time when I'm doing my homework i get easily distracted by my music or surfing the Internet or instant messaging.Before i know it two hours have gone by and i haven't done my homework yet. so when you have a computer or Internet you have to be responsible of your time. You have to know when is it appropriate time to surf the net and have fun. you have to weigh out your priorities. is it more important to talk to your friends who will be there when your done, or is it more important to study and get your stuff done as soon as possible? If you let the world of digital overcome you you may get lost in it. the Internet has so many things ABOUT EVERYTHING. I mean there are great sources to get your information but there are also predators. Sex predators looking for victims, horrible porn sites that have viruses, false accusations and information. So i guess some of the consequences of assimilating into the culture are running into trouble by not weighing out your priorities, falling behind in class, in your studies, viruses, etc. Also sometimes its hard to adapt when your so use to telephones instead of email or person to person conversations versus instant messaging. or the old fashioned way so to speak. Sometimes your more comfortable in that way. but itd always great to open your mind to new opportiunites and ideas to expand your mind. or you might fall behind in society.
