How T3chn0logy has 1mpacted my lif3.

Technology has impacted a lot in my life from the shower I take in the morning to games I play at night. I am pretty much using technology all day from the time I wake up till when I go to sleep. I would have to say the piece of technology that has impacted my life the most is my computer considering I use it for everything, I have my music playing on it from when I wake up till when I go to sleep and don’t know what I would do without that. Some other small pieces of technology I use a lot are probably my camera I like taking random pictures and for wakeboarding mostly and my phone I’m not one of the kids that is constantly on it but I always have it with me. I would have to say I am glad I have all these things I don’t know what I would do without half of them for even some of the easiest things. It’s just great those things are there so I can make instant mac and cheese, fix all my little spelling errors and make my frozen waffles in the morning. Technology just gets me through my day and it would really suck if I didn’t have all the things I did that make my life that much easier.

The third culture

The third culture is a pop culture based on technology, science and enginering but yet outside the societys inner circle. and the third culture is formed by intellectual people who aren't scientist but study and ask questions as scientists would. Then share their information through technology.

Three things good that come from the third culture.

Nerds are cool.

The third culture creates new tools.

The middle class shares a need for the third culture.

CyB3rCu1ture

Well first off I would have to say cyber culture is a culture that has been made with the advances of technology and the stuff that came along with technology. Pretty much a community based on the internet and gaming and similar interests that are talked about through technology not face to face. As far as my participation in cyber culture I would have to say I’m a part of it with either just sitting on aim or playing video games online. I also like to visit a few of my favorite websites a day like break.com, collegehumor.com and facebook. Where I like to interact with others and comment on videos or just talk to my friends. How it has affected me I would have to say on the positive side I guess. I working online right now and it’s a lot easier than a real job and I don’t really have to deal with anyone. I also like to play games online with my friends because a lot of them are online all the time and even if were at different colleges across the united states we still get together online and play together and just talk. My expectations as far as cyber culture and all the technology I would have to say are great and just keep getting better day by day with the new stuff the companies and people are coming out with.

How Popular Culture has shaped my life.

Popular culture has shaped my life in many ways and is all around us in our every day lives. From the news talking about some movie star or something on the internet instead of the tragedies around the world. Popular culture you can say has some what shaped everything in our lives but one thing I can say it really has not shaped my circle of friends. I have either had them since I was very young or met them through sports or just randomly through life. I don’t pick my friends by what clothes they wear, what music they listen to or their favorite actors. I chose them because of their personality and the good times we had together. As far as music goes some of my taste is brought on by popular culture but I’m more of a fan of classic rock and random stuff apposed to what is popular now which is mostly rap and country. My style of clothing is brought on a lot by popular culture and mostly whatever I think looks good. With the times changing as they are popular culture has changed our generation a lot with music, clothes, movies, internet and what’s on TV. And with all this changing from one culture to the next of course are generation is going to be different and shaped by popular culture.
