About this technology out of control or being such an integrant part of our lives... sometimes I feel I was born at the exact, proper time to witness it all, and that I was in the middle of the two worlds, the "ancient" one and the "modern" one.
I was born in 1979 and I was a teenager in the '90's. I've used pen and paper at school, I've discovered music with second and third hand cassette tapes, I've called from home phones and public phones during holidays, and then I was still young enough when the internet, CDs and PCs and of course cellphones were really starting to become common. I absolutely know what it was like before, and I was witnessing first hand the new technologies as they were growing. This maybe puts me in the ideal position to understand both worlds, people younger than me are born with a smartphone in their hands and don't know what it's like to live without it... I do. And this helps me put all this use/abuse of technology into contest, I know there was a world before this so I can see the social media for what they are, something more, something additional, a game almost... not an "essential" thing or something you can't go without.
