I am a RTF major at the University of Texas at Austin. I am studying film. Now that I am getting into editing and production I find this field discriminating and competitive for those who aren't totally emerged into technology like myself. Its like if you didn't learn how to edit in highschool then your not up to par with how fast technology is moving these days. It is justg discouraging to me. I am wondering if anyone else feels this way with there study of interest or career and technology? What is this world coming to? Is it going to be completely virtual one day. I mean so many people have i-pods on campus that it is impossible to start conversation with people because they are constantly in depth with some sort of technology. Being a wise, open minded, intectual person of inspiration and purpose of life- it is hard for me to adapt and socially intergrate myself with this realm of innovation of the 21st century? Yeah? Or No? You feel me or not? Let my know you view? Thanks kb
I am so not technological. I don't have a cell phone, ipod, cable tv, etc. I really don't feel like I'm being left behind-though others might.
in a way, I am so proud that my school is so behind in technology. Our studentIDs are made from paper, and thus not multifunctional on-campus paying instruments and dooropeners, we can not register for stuff via email, they don't email us. They have just last year opened up computers to use for students, and only two computerlabs, one for film one for computers, and the staff knows that people are comming that know nothing about computers, and thus are prepared, and have great tutorials available for all the programms for editing. Then again people other schools laugh about us for being so behind, and we have to go to the secretary to do certain stuff that can be easily done from a home computer.... as well as we can not use the studios at night, since we don't have keycards.
technology is cool in its own right buttttttttt in the final scheme of things tis gonna be a major downfall for society in general... people cant do for self any longer and is becoming more and more so each day,,, unless one has a degree in greater technology yer backwardand not got a clue,,,, sure i have a cmop and have had one for several years,,, but i really dont know much other than how to type on it , crash it occasionally and upgrade when it becomes fossilized... we dont do cable tv,,, and local tv is only pbs,,, we dont do cells, they n there humans annoy the piss outta me, an ipod hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmph,,,, i dont think sooooo ... couldnt even positively identify one of them.... left behind,,, possibly.. do i care,,, nope,, in the end those of us who shirk the new crap will probably fare better than those who have to have there new tech bs...
What drives me crazy is seeing people with those cell phones that look like they are implanted into their ears! Really, cellphones have made people so rude. YOu are talking to someone and their phone rings. Next thing you know, you are invisible and your friend is just jabbing away. I was at my grandmother's funeral and someone's damned thing started ringing. I was on a parenting board the other day and the moms were asking what is the best kind of phone to get for their kids. Really, kids like 9 or 10 yo. Some of the replies were like- my kids have to have a cell phone, that way I know what time to pick them up from their afterschool activities and such. Gee! When I was in school, I told my mom the morning before what time I needed to be picked up! Or, I went to the office and used the phone!
I dont really understand your question here. Are you talking about people being stuck up and thinking down on people that are not as technologically advanced. Or are you talking about the technology itself? needahomerectomy?
I am talking about how technolgy has effected you in general or if it even has. Is it a good thing, how do you you use it to your advantage- pur se this forum- why do you use this forum? Does it help you in life? Can you come here and get answers that you can't get in every day life? Or do you just use the forum for fun to socialize? Just think about it a minute! Thanks KB
