Greetings. My name is David McFadden and I am a student at the University of Texas at Dallas in the Arts and Technology Program. Before you begin reading, let's take a look at you, and why you are here.
The mere fact that you are able to read this paragraph allows me to assume a few things about you:
-You are connected to the internet.
-You are on a mobile phone, pda, or computer and are able to successfully operate it.
-You are able to search for topics on a search engine or use web links in order to find this site.
Considering the above statements, you are certainly included in the group of people that this blog is being written for. Perhaps you are only slightly familiar with modern technology, or you may be an expert in the latest trends of high tech gadgetry and a master of the online world. Or, perhaps, you lie somewhere in between. Regardless of which you may be, I invite you to read this blog and ask yourself questions about, and understand, the technology you use and how you use it. It is important to remember that we create technology and find ways to include it in our everyday lives, but the consequences of doing so cannot be predicted or prepared for. Sometimes the results are positive and beneficial, while other times negative and costly. We will explore examples that have produced each of these outcomes.
So please, read on, and let us better understand technology and its effects on us.
