Technology has changed drastically as time went on and it created many new things to make life much easier. Computers and cellphones were created which brought society into a whole new level in life. For example; Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Iphones, Blackberries, etc.

Before cellphones, computers, and even typewriters, people used to write by hand. Some still do by others choose to type. When the typewriter was first created things were just a little bit easier only thing is you couldn't edit your work like you can today. In the video, Micheal Wesch shows how society went from writing your paper by hand to using a computer and making everything faster. Instead of writing your paper over and over because of constant editing, we used computers and only had to write our papers once. Digital text is much different. With digtal texting we can edit, cut, paste, view source, copy, etc. We can do just about ANYTHING with digital texting.

In Egypt technology has a huge impact. By Egyptians using Twitter and Facebook they had many great changes in there country. Not only has is impacted Egypt but also Libya as well. Democracy has changed but equality became poor. Twitter and Facebook connected many people from all around the world and told them what was going on. Some people gained a voice out of this rebellion.

If it wasn't for technology things would've been real different. Things could've got worse or maybe it could've gotten a lot better. Having technology has changed out lives and the lives of the future, every year there's always new coming out. Not only has technology been there for social networking, but also for many people with loved ones all around the world that can be viewed with a webcam. Many men and women that are in the U.S Army, Marines, Air Force and etc also keep in contact with technology. Nothing would be the same if it was all taken away.
