A Coppertop's Life Artifacts

    

I choose it because who doesn’t have a cell phone in the year 2010.  When I was younger I had to wait until I was in junior high school to get my cell phone.  But now kids in the 1^st grade are probably getting cell phones.  Next thing you know when your kids are in pre-k they’ll already have their cell phone.  Cell phones are a very good way of contacting people.  Cell phones separate us from speaking to real people all the all time.  When you talk on the phone the person’s voice is digitized.  People can talk on the phone for hours.  There’s also times when two friends are hanging out.  But both are talking on the phone.  Wouldn't it be better if you just talk to the friend that's right next to you?  Who is an actual real person instead of a digitized voice.  Cell Phones go even farther you don't have to talk to your friends.  You can just text your friends.  Most people resort to texting others because people don't feel like talking.  Because you don't have to talk as much anymore.  If you told a teenager to contact their friend most likely they would text instead of calling.  Everyone knows how to text now.  So less people are talking to each other. 

 

I choose facebook because most teenagers have a facebook.  Even older people have a facebook.  A majority of the people you know have a facebook.  Facebook takes up most of teenager’s time.  On facebook you’re not really talking to your friends.  It's also a chat room if you want it to be.  If you use the facebook chat.  Similar to the first scene with Neo in the Matrix.  When Trinity contacts him through the chat room.  She wasn't really talking to him in person.  She was chatting with him through the internet.  On facebook you don’t even see the person that you’re talking to similar to texting.  But texting is for everywhere including on the go.  You can even use facebook on the go now.  Through facebook mobile on many phones now.  Soon you’ll be able to text and go on facebook through your watch.  Because technology keeps on getting better and better.    

Video games are another one that has been around for a long time.  Almost everyone has at least one game system.  Some people have more than 1.  The top 3 game systems are ps3, Xbox 360 and the wii.  Back in the days if you wanted to play your friends you had to go to their house.  At least your were hanging out with an actual person.  But now you can connect be at separate houses and play your friends.  You can play anyone in the world from your house.  Instead of playing meeting people and playing them.  For the wii you can play sports against your friends.  Such as tennis, boxing, golf, basketball etc.  Wouldn’t it be easier to go outside and play these games with your friends or actual people?
