Assignment 4


                                                                Assignment 4



1. Discuss what the main idea of the video is?
The main idea of the video was to show us how much the world has change over time with technology. Also that technology can affect people both positively and negatively. It also shows how technology was growing over time and how is nowadays.

 2. Do you see yourself as past oriented or future oriented? Why?
I think I'm both future oriented and past oriented because I loos a lot at my past and things that I've done but I can also be a future oriented person because I sometimes look up to what I'm doing the next couple of days.

 3. Do you agree or disagree with the speaker in the video? Explain why?
I agree because he mentions that people look more to the future since technology is growing more each and every day. Also that since technology is growing, people depend more on it.


 4. Do you agree with the speaker's view that young adults' minds are being "digitally rewired"? Explain your answer.
Yes, I agree because young adults don't only use technology for their benefit but also use it for many other things that affect them as persons. For example spending a lot of time in the computer or playing a video game.

 5. Why does the narrator in the video argue that young people dislike a single-function device such as a wristwatch? 
Because now, young people are used to the technology that we have and watching a wristwatch can be something "old" since we have the most advanced technology nowadays.


1. Why did Sir Tim Berner's Lee decide to make the World Wide Web free when he created it at CERN?
He decided to make the World Wide Web free because he figured out that if it was free, more and more users would be able to use it and the internet would become something of our daily thing.

 2. What are the benefits of having "web addresses," an idea that Sir Tim Berner's Lee created?
 It is a great idea because there are so many web pages on the internet that each site has its own address. If all websites had the same address, you would not be able to find something that you are looking for. Also that it is a very easy and fast way to look up information.


 3. How does the World Wide Web allow people from all over the world to communicate?
We can communicate through blogs, social networks. We also communicate by using e-mails, and other methods thanks to the World Wide Web.


 4. Why is it important to link information? What are the benefits of having instant access to information?
It is important to link information because it makes it easier for us to open a web page automatically. Also because instead of typing all the link down, with just a click it takes you right away to the web page you want to visit.

  1. Mojoe, I really like the way you explain yourself. The fact that you consider yourself both past and future oriented is very interesting. keep expressing what you mean so well

  2. I agree with your opinion of teenagers minds being digitally rewired. teenagers are spending more times on computers, video games, and on the television. Instead, they should spend more time with their family and friends and things that will benefit them in the future.
