The internet and other forms of media in my opinion have already changed how our government runs and how things are advertised. We don't realize how different our lives would be without the internet system we have to look things up and use. People have the ability to say what they want and how they feel over a media where they can be anonymous or just not face to face communication. Our government uses the technology for a good thing of making sure we know information, or that we see certain things. But it's a very powerful tool, and like in my book Brave New World the technology advancements are creating problems and are being used in a negative way to control all the citizens. 

My question is how can we have a good team without mature people. And I think that technology can be used for bad things, and usually the people in charge of the bad things isn't a mature person. It's important for us to be respectful and be good role models for others and if you're immature and post bad things online, then you're not a good leader or role model. I think that people of our world are all in the same boat, same planet thing, and we all are a team. We're put on this earth together and we need to be respectful to each other. Respectfulness somewhat relates back to Brave New World because Lenine and Bernard aren't being respected. Bernard isn't the most attractive or smart and people are rude to him through technology because he was made by technology. He can't help that. So I think that in general technology changes how we see and act towards each other, we can either use that power for good or bad. But bad may have negative consequences.

Hi Sarah,

"So I think that in general technology changes how we see and act towards each other, we can either use that power for good or bad. But bad may have negative consequences." - Yes, but we can also choose to use technology to create mature communication. This post is, again, well thought out.
