Assignment 2: iWrite

In 1976, Steve Jobs became a co-founder of Apple. 35 years later he retired, putting his enormous company into different hands, and shortly thereafter succumbed to cancer. His retirement and death did not just mean a promotion for Tim Cook, the new CEO, but a major shift in a company that has been a key player in technology innovation in the 21st century.  Love 'em or hate 'em, Steve Jobs changed our lives.

So, this brings us to your writing for the week:

How has technology affected your life?

Choose one of the following prompts and in 150 words or more, provide your answer.
  • Has technology affected you in a majorly positive way? What happened?
  • Has technology ever inconvenienced you or hurt you? Maybe technology got in your way, slowed you down or even literally hurt you? Have you seen technology have a negative impact on society?
  • How would your life have been different if you'd grown up 20 years earlier? How would you interact with others? Do you think your relationships then would differ from your present relationships? Which time period would you prefer and why?
  • Become a futurist and theorize on how might technology evolve over the next decade and what changes might those changes bring.

  1. Technology is good and bad at the same time. Helpful but overused. Technology and the internet can be used to connect and relate to childhood friends who live across the world. It can also be used to buy tickets to concerts or events in advance, and online banking has become an easy way to keep track of money. today's technology.
    Technology has grown immensely over the last fifteen years, so who is to say it won't keep growing and growing? I predict the pretty near future will look similar to the future in Back to the Future II. We should definitely expect hover boards, finger print door locking, and watching multiple television channels at once. I don't know if all the streets will be in the air, but there will definitely be some hovering cars owned by the special few who will be able to afford it.
