After watching the Shift Happens clip on YouTube, I was really shocked about what I had just watched. Not shocked in a negative aspect, but in a way that you realize that the times really have shifted. I feel that the changes that have come about in the last few year have been great. We are becoming a society that is learning and finding new ways to be more efficient and effective. By having all these new technological advances, we are able to connect with people faster, advertise to a more diverse group; either for a cause or for a company and have the accessibility to information at any time. It is kind of sad though when you think about where we started and where we are now. Everything twenty or so years ago had a purpose; you would go to the grocery store to shop for food, you would go to the post office to mail your bills and letters and you would get the newspaper daily. Now these are things that can all be done or purchased online. I guess what I am getting to is that we have lost the day to day human interaction and have become very dependent on the new technology. Overall I am all about advancing but at the same time keeping human relations.

Wow, great first post. Very philosophical - I like it! We will have this conversation in class at some point, and I totally agree with you, but I would bet 20, 30, 40 years ago people were saying the same thing. As technology advances we need to be more deliberate in maintaining those personal relationships.
