Love me for me, or don't love me!
I honestly would not live a live a life of solitude in the secluded woods! Also to be honest I wouldn't nee to find myself because I like who I am. Life lessons have helped me devolp into who I am today, so I would say iI know myself. Another aspect is that I don't think i would be able to handle not using technology. Not only is technology for enjoyment but its a way of life. My life is evolved around technology, for work, school, contacting... etc. In order to remain sane I need human envolvment. Being disconnected could actually create many anxiety issues for me. I am actaully pretty satisfied with the way I live and don't need to live in solutude to change anything. Why should I worry about experiencing solitude when I live only one life I might as well enjoy it. There are connections between Thoreau, Emerson, Lasn, and Anderson's texts and I feel that they believe that you have no interation with technology or anything in order to be "you"! Why do they have the right to tell people what they can and can not do.I am satisfied with my life and I love who I am.

Life is short and we should live it how we want to live it. We have one life to live and that life revolves around technology these days. I believe that I know myself and do not need to lock my self up and not talk to anyone because socializing helps to make me what I am.
ReplyDeleteI also do agree that technology is such a big impact on our lives today that it would be impossible to stop using it. It has helped us to be able to do everyday activities in less time making our days be more productive. I think living in solitude would only make everyone go crazy because our world today needs human interactions to educate and make us sane.
ReplyDeleteI think the authors are just trying to open our eyes to the world around us, not just the one that we are apart of.
ReplyDeleteTechnology has made are life more productive by speeding things up but has it gone too fast? It is at the point of instantaneous and yet we are still wanting more. We can't sit still for more then five minutes without zoning out. Is that really a good productive life?
