gadgets good or bad image
Q. Please help me! I need information about the infuences of modern technology on people, particularly on young ones. This is for my research paper, so please help me! I need to find out the pro's and con's of gadgets. Thanks.
Answer
Pros:
The world is smaller (it's easier to contact/find people anywhere)
Information is sent/received with more speed/accuracy
Fights the horrors of boredom :-)
Life is "made easier" (theoretically) with gadgets that cook for you, wash for you, iron for you, dry for you, calculate for you, record your life, etc.
In case of emergency, most everyone has a cell phone
Palm pilots, laptops/computers, and similar devices help organize full schedules
Automobiles make travel more comfortable and gets you there faster
...etc.
Cons:
We're all spoiled (that's an opinion, not necessarily a fact)
In case of a power-outage, most of our lives must wait until the lights come back on.
Conversation and relationships are often replaced with telephone calls, emails, and Instant Messaging
Everything is controlled by computers (well, not everything...), which lack common sense and personality.
The media can "steer" the culture it influences wherever it wants... example: body image, power=rich...
...all that to say, we've become lazy because technology does everything for us... the gadgets that were created to make our lives easier just make our lives busier (we have more time, so we do more things)... it's very easy to manipulate large groups of people, but then again, it's also easier to help large groups of people at one time.
You decide :-)
I love my laptop, camera, MP3 player, Microwave etc... but I'm also somewhat addicted, and am often too lazy to go to the Cinema for a movie (I can download it), buy a CD (I can download it), go out for a nice meal (microwave something)... etc.
Hope that helped! :-)

How much better is battlefield 3 than battlefield bad company 2?
Taylor
I have bad company 2 and I kind of liked it but it didn't reach my expectations and I was wondering if battlefield 3 is better.
Answer
There are some key points that they raised the bar with such as included a larger variety of vehicles like the fighter jets and water/land vehicles. So far I'm finding the map designs are very detailed and open, they also seem to be almost too big at times for how few transport vehicles are available (but that's just my personal thought) The weapons and gadgets are still set as unlockables so people that have played more generally have much better equipment and therefore an advantage. The only other thing I'm having trouble getting used to is that the game loads out of a browser rather then opening a game and going from there. I just find it can make it tedious to sit there waiting for a game to load over and over again depending on how many disconnections you get (getting better but at the start it was bad).
