Cell Phones

It was very interesting to learn how everyone felt about cell phones. Most of us are around the same age, which I feel reflects how we all felt similar about cell phone etiquette. I still feel like using a cell phone is a public space although I do feel many feel its private just because they are on a cell phone. I also find these people to be extremely rude. When it comes to teenagers, I do agree they have become attached to the technology. Many of them would die if they had to be away from their phone for more than 20 minutes. I also feel that it has effected the whole dating situation. Instead of calling the significant other we text instead. We lose a sense of connection by doing so.

Virtual Reality

This weeks topic was a very interesting one. The idea of people living a completely different life in virtual reality is interesting and somewhat weird. The idea of building hotels and architecture in Second Life in order to receive feedback is interesting. The idea of people using real money in order to buy Linden Dollars is a hard concept to grasp. It is a nice way for people who are intimidated or insecure in the real world to be able to communicate with others. Although I look at Second Life as something I would NOT want to be a part of, I can understand why others are intrigued.
