To prepare for the Discussion: Return to the Week 1 Check Your Tech Home Technology Inventory document. Can you classify the technology you use into categories? Think of the many uses of technology presented this week and others you might know, especially those that track you in some way. Consider how your personal and professional perspectives might influence your attitudes about technology. Evaluate (by interviewing people or online searching) the types and extent of technology used in your profession. Determine how the use of technology is changing in your field of study. By Day 3, post a response (at least 200–300 words) to the following prompt: We are more connected and dependent on our technology than ever before. In Week 2’s Reading, Thoreau chose to live at Walden Pond without any of the modern conveniences of his time for a while. Do you think you could be completely disconnected from any type of modern technology? Would there be benefits to disconnecting? Is there a specific technology or gadget that you use in your personal life that you could not live without? Could you do your current job without technology? Why or why not?
