The global world: a curse or a blessing?
Well folks that's the question i constantly ask myself every time i surf through the net but so far i still dont have the answer, i still lose my mind whenever i think of the capabilities of social media, how this little monster can create so many opportunities and possibilities for individuals all ova the world, which is unbelievably beyond shocking..such an ordinary thing doing extraordinary things for the society. It has a way of making one get carried away, well i'm talking from experience folks, it has become a habit, my daily routine..i'm a net maniac myself.

Web based technology have a way of taking over one senses whether be used for entertainment,social interaction or simply increasing production in an organisation. Kids as young as 9 years have accounts on various social network such as Facebook, Twitter. LinkedIn etc., they rather go online than play outside like normal kids..speechless,what about the coming generation huh? oh even older women and men are connected these days..mmm who would've thought..our very own mothers and fathers. Well is the emerging global world slowly taking away our very own senses? from my side i dont know cause as far as i know i would not survive long time without going online on one of my networks..but will it ever stop?
Technology has taken over our lives for real, we can't go anywhere without our phones. We are hopeless without those machines. I tell you I'd die without my phone for a week, it's second nature to us now.
well i completely agree with u mr Majola..teenagers misuse it badly..posting all unnecessary stuff on social networks..explicit photos..pornographic video..portrayal of the use of drugs and alcohol u name it..it is beyond shocking i tell u
technology has taken over for real but it will depends on us how we take control of how we use technological devices.being addicted to the internet is by individual's choice.
it is not by choice..lyk i mentioned above that the internet has a way of taking away one senses and making you feel lyk it is a need..it is socially interactive and entertaining so it makes you feel like you belong and forget about all ur troubles..that is why many people around the world are socially connected
Its both a blessing and a curse since many people cant control themselves when they are online. Technology has indeed taken over the world and people cant survive without thier cellphones.
more is scary..i knw everything is technology these days but my main concern is will we ever be able to survivewithout it vas we use it as a scapegoat to escape reality?
Well... i think it's a blessing hey, i mean; as you have already said, social media is a channel for most of us to get opportunities and possibilities all over the world... IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT SOCIAL MEDIA, BAD HEY... and well according to my advanced view, i foresee no life without the web/social media.
well people lived a normal life witout it way back..so i have to disagree when you say you foresee no life without it..people chose to make it a need..
technology has taken over indeed,i personally cant go anywhere without my phone.firstly it entertains me when im bored and i get to do alot with it.i can access the net at any time of the day,which i think its a gud thing for me...i conclude by saying yes social media is a blessing.
but how about you entertain ourselves by playing games such as morabaraba..skipping rope etc and go back to our African games instead of our phones?i mean do we even remember those games?technology sure is a blessing but it is taking away our senses..
technology is so convinient that you can do anything with your phone any where any time.being on social networks is a great thing as i get to interact with freinds and also make new freinds it is cheap and user freindly.i must say i love technology
Times are changing, we all cant be expected to do things like the were done in the past,we need to move on.
so this is a blessing indeed, it makes my life very easy and gratifies every need i had, i am done playing hard, i want things to happen in a touch of a button
Technology has made our lives so much easire that our lives now revolve around it, when we host event we serch for tips, when we seek products, we go on the net,well i think we now depend on the net for everything.
Honey I'm one of them like each and everyday I spend like 3hours surfing on the internet and believe you me I can't go a day without it. I think it's an everyday life that one cannot live without and it's technologhy, it has made our lives more easier and interesting.
Technology has take over the world and make it small because now you can be communicate to any person around the world without going to talk to them face to face. we have been introduct to facebook, twitter,mxit,etc so we can communicate to are loves one no matter haw far they are, technology bring them close keep us in touch for hours. i dont spend an hour without lookig at my phone to check if i have email or facebook message. so ja technology has change the way we communicate compare to our folks way.
not anytime soon, i think this social media is just gonna persist from now to an extent that if you do not have it, its like you are not in style and you just out of the trend
out of fashion works for others..after all it is all up to an individual whether to make social media a habit or not..but i think more is about to come..watch the space
it is a bang! for us to exposed to it because we are kept up to date with everything that is happening in and around our country.for example the latest trends,fashion, gossips etc.
