Week 10 – Reading Resonse

I agree with the rant so much! At first I didn’t really think about how we unknowingly use the feel we get from our fingers to deeply understand everything around us. From the fullness of the cup to the amount of pages of the book we are holding, we constantly see the world through our hands without even knowing it. The tablets and the screens are taking that away from us. The screens do bring us so much good, and are useful in many situation, but they are taking the real world away from us. Newer generations especially are so glued to the screen so they can’t see anything real around them (I’m beginning to sound like my parents). The response to the rant was specifically infuriating to me, not because of the reply from the author, but because of the questions people were asking and the opinions they were giving. There is nothing that makes me more angry then seeing a family out for dinner and their kid staring at their iPad the whole time. The same goes for when the young kids spend their whole day laying down stuck to the screen, watching videos or playing video games. Kids should be kids, explore the world, play around without worry, not spend hours sitting and staring at the screen, there will be plenty of time for that later! I might’ve strayed away from the topic a bit, but overall I do agree that unfortunately technology is taking away our way of seeing the world.
