Computers, cell phones, video games, iPhones, iPads, iPods... We are constantly "connected" these days to one personal electronic device or another. It's difficult to remember that, not that long ago, none of these devices existed! Do you ever try to disconnect? For example, have you tried leaving your room without any device and, say, taking a walk with a friend? Are there any dangers to all these PEDs that take up so much of our time? Can you imagine a life without them?
I've tried before because I forgot switch my stuff between two bags. I have to say that was stupid because I can’t call my mum to pick me up and I don’t have things to do when I was bored. We are enjoy our "mobile internet". When smart phones began popular, which are iPhones or Androids. People invented so many apps to make the life become easier. Such as maps, dictionaries, note books. It looks like a small smart phone includes everything we need, except foods and drinks. Also we can use our phones to expend on our “fractional times” (“Fractional times” mean the time which is short and nothing to do. For example, when you are waiting for your train, you have to stay there but in this time you can do other things on your phone). So I can’t image the life without them. The post offices will be crowded again. People’s cars will have maps and drivers will ask people for the ways. Many people’s bags will have a camera. Easy way to explain it is if we lost them we will have a lot of trouble during daily lives. In the other way, computers, cell phones are represent human’s technology. These are our time’s product. If we lose them, we will go back to middle ages. But the information in these devices are more dangerous. I think everybody knows hacker, hacker can steal our classified information from our computers at everywhere. This means we are not easy anymore to protect our information, even fortunes. For example, the biggest bit coin company was bankruptcy, because their bit coins were stolen by hackers. Their website was been attacked and after that they lost their bit coins. That’s why the United States government always spends their money on upgrade their internet security. So I think if we live without them, the only opportunity is after world war again. The world has been attacked by nuclear weapons, then we will lose anything in this world.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I am concerned, in the modern world, people cannot live without electronic devices. First of all, electronic devices make human’s life become much more easier. For example, ancient people always communicate by letters with their relatives who live very far away from them. Sometimes, when a person wants to go to visit a friend who lives far away from him, he should spend a lot of time on traveling. The most important thing is that if his friend moved to another place and didn’t tell him, he can’t find his friend ever. Compare with the modern world, people have electronic devices, which let them talk with one another whenever they want, however far away that person is. Secondly, electronic devices make our life become much more faster than before. People now use their smartphone to record data, notes or daily plans. E-mail and message can be received in five minutes after they are sent. It is faster than communicating by letters. Now, Skype and Face Time let people talk to each other face to face all over the world. For example, I can talk to my parents from America to China face to face whenever I want. Third, electronic devices can save our lives. At the ancient time, if you walk in a big forest by yourself, it is very easy to get lost if you don’t know exactly where you want to go. When you are lost, you could die in the forest or spend years living in it trying to find a way out. Now, people have a device called GPS, which not only can tell you how to get to the place you want to go, but also can call policemen when you get lost. It will send a message to the satellites, then the satellites will send the message to the rescue team. After that, you just need to wait at the same spot and you will be back to where you left after a few hours. Although electronic devices are very useful and a large part of human life, they still have negative effects. Electronic devices are bad for our health. Prolonged use of cell phones can expose human brains to unnecessary amounts of radiation. Also lots of teens get myopia by playing games or watching the devices for a long time. After all, electronic devices are very useful for everyone if you use it correctly and safely.

ReplyDeleteNow days more and more people depend electronic products, people start to “connect” when they were every young even 5 years’ old child knew how to play an “Ipad”. They are dangerous but important. We can’t without them because they are the tools for this century, as fire is tool for Primitive.
DeleteFirst of all, they are important now days our life can’t without them, if you haven’t a phone your parents or your friends can’t find you quickly and it will waste a lot of times, at before it’s ok to be late but now you may get into a big trouble when you late for something, for example, once I go to a big shopping mall with my mom, I get lost with a phone haven’t any power, and we spend like 40 min to find each other, and we haven’t enough time to watch movie. So it’s important for our daily life. It also can help staff to do their job better, for example, police can use phone or interphone communicate suspects place and his action it can improve arrest’s success rate, and lot’s of street and people can’t allow a police who haven’t partner to catch or follow a suspect. So it’s important for people’s work.
Though it can help people to work easier and make our life more convenient, as fire it’s useful and people can’t without it but it’s dangerous too, a fire may destroy a huge forest at that time. Now days more and more people use phone ipad and many electronic products as their toy not a tool, some one love to type on smart phone chat with their friends not use a call to chat with their friends, it means people needn’t to visit their friends for chat they can chat on internet, it really make chat become convenient, but a number of times chat on internet make people become lazy and emotion become strange because people can say any thing they want. Someone even seem phone as a game machine they just need a way to connect to internet then they may play phone game for a long time, and cause phone is easy to carry so people can play those phone game from everywhere, they can play those games in room in school even in bathroom! It makes student can focus their study, staff can’t focus their work
According these reasons I think we should control our self to use these electronic products, we should remember it’s nature “it’s a tool not a toy” don’t let your chat your language become color, “real chat” is the best thing on this world, also don’t let those machine to control your life, you should control them, use them to help you, use those machine to help you get the thing that you want, never forget your aim of your life.
I think most people can't live without personal electronic but I can. With the development of science and technology, more and more electronic are invented, and these things are more and more convenient for people use. People use sell phones at any time. For example, when they go to bathroom, they will play some games, when they have meals, they will check their email and Facebook or others, and most people will do one thing before they go to sleep, that is checking Facebook or others. Sometimes when I chat with my friends, they are playing with their phones. i really don't like this. That makes me think they are so indifferent. I hope I can give up my personal electronic one day. Because I want to go to real nature to enjoy view. I don't want some messages disrupt me. And I also hope more and more people can give up these sometimes.
ReplyDeleteIn modern time, laptops or phones are people's second life. However, every coin has two sides, these electronic devices are no exceptions. For advantages, there is no denying that our personal electronic devices such as phones provide us a lot of more convenient ways to get much more information throughout the Internet. Checking the email, searching the materials for your work and etc. all of these may have become the normal practice in our ordinary life.
ReplyDeleteWhen I am reading a book or doing my homework, I do would like to be away from my phone or computer, even their aid. Thus, I find myself concentrate much easier.
However, these days we even need them to finish up our homework, cause the HW are required to be typed or else. I think Giving up the electronic devices are unrealistic, because there is no need to explain how these creative products are the most popular and best devices to help us with our life.
Nonetheless, since more and more people are relying on these high-tech products, we cant avoid their negative effects. More and more people count on them, as a result they are getting used to do everything with them. So people are increasingly spending time with PEDs, while cut back their time with family, study or work. One of the great examples is that teenagers more or less can't resist the attraction of computer games or video games. What's more, on the perspective of teenager's health, these electronic products do much harm to teens.
Although these PEDs provide us a more convenient way to communicate with people, they, on the contrary, make us have less talking when we are face to face.
Above all, I hope everyone can use their PEDs wisely and reasonably to advance the life.
Honestly I can’t live without those electronic devices. But it doesn’t mean I sent a lot of time with them. As myself, bring cell with me is easier let someone connect me immediately. I still remember my mom couldn’t get text back from me because I left my phone home. And it causes my mom very anxious about me. Besides, the electronic devices can helped me chat with my parents no matter where I am. Also study without computers is a disaster. Computer helps we to search enough information for any projects in really short time. I have never try to disconnect and I don’t dear to try. Even though they bring a lot ‘illnesses’ in our life, such as phone talk instead of face talk, bad shortsightedness and so on. I guess either me or other people try to get rid of those electronic devices once. But we never make it goes on forever. The electronic devices already became a part of our life. If the life without them I couldn’t die for it, but it makes me upset.
ReplyDeleteHave I ever left any PEDs home? Of course! And I didn’t get any trouble without them. As a smartphone, it is comparably useless in my hand. Facebook doesn’t occupy much time in my life. Instead, texting and calling becomes main function of my “smart” phone. Besides, impressive function of taking HD photos obsesses me to use it.
ReplyDeleteTherefore I’d love to talk by face to face. It’s sort of comfortable and joyful to sit in a café to chat with a good friend. This is the urbane life I expect.
What if there are no PEDs anymore, the life still goes on. I think I can live here, the earth, without any anxiety or nervousness. We human beings successfully experienced such a long time without any electronic devices. It can’t be hard for contemporary mankind to overcome. Despite convenience, there’s no more trouble we can confront. Actually, only sluggard who is used to the modern life will be insane. These advanced devices are not indispensable to me. Thus I want to be back in 1980s’ to feel the aboriginal excitement of life.
I always leave home and without my phone when i was in China... because every time i go out i would have had an appointment with somebody already,so that i did not have to go out with my telephone. But the first thing i had to do is make an appointment use my phone when i was home....so i still need to use my phone. I can imagine what will happened if life without phone, if we can not use phone, we can not to decide things with anybody that is not near us...which is easy to do with a telephone, we just need to press few buttons and them we can just talk to the person we want to talk with, and we can even have a video chat if we want, but those are hard to achieve without electronic device, i mean, these electronic device is already part of our life! We can not leave without it! Of course, if they really disappeared, not only the communication will be very hard, also the human' process of revolution will be vestigial,and there might be a lot of wars happened....whatever, my result is: the world will become worth. But it might be a good thing to happened in some situation, if we can not connect with friends and parents when we are not together, we will be feel, the moment with people we loved is so precious, so that we will cherish the time to be together.
ReplyDeleteI almost spend more than 3 hours everyday on my phone to chatting with my friends even when I was in China. Electronic products reduce the distance with friends sometimes, you can chatting with them even you are thousands miles away from them, but it also makes more distance sometimes. Your friend might spend times on their phone even they are sitting in front of you. I can't leave without my phone for even one hour. When we taking classes, we feel really uncomfortable, because there might be someone sends me a text, I'll feel very exciting to see what they sent. The time on plane during travel international is the hardest time to spend for me. Because I'm disconnected! More and more airplanes are providing the WiFi on air, although they are not free and they can't connect very well or constant but I still buy the access a lot. I can't imagine the day without these technologies. But these electronic products are influencing our health really bad. People pregnant should try their best to avoid the electronic products. Many disable kids are born because of electronic products' radiation. I think leave without the electronic products is impossible to do. But we really should working on how to reduce the dangers from electronic products.
ReplyDeleteRecently I realize that I spend too much time on my cell phone and laptop. Especially on the weekend, I will stay at my room face to the laptop the whole day. In school days, I never leave my phone for one second. In the morning the first thing to do is turn on my phone and check if I have any message or updated news. It is hard for us to stop using electronic devices as someone quitting smoking. I think the reason that we can't leave our electric devices is that they play an important role in our lives. We can chat online with our friends even in different countries. We can skype with our parents everyday. Although they are important, we shouldn't rely on them too much. First, these electric devices are bad for our health, we always put phones next to our head when we are sleeping. It is harmful to our brains. Then we wast too much time on them, we read less than before. We lose our time for outdoor sports. Actually, our lives will be more boring if we spend too much time on electric devices. Now I'm trying to spend less time on my phone and laptop. When I go to cafeteria, I will leave my phone in my room, then I could focus on my dinning.

ReplyDeleteThe internet play a very important role in our daylife. Everyday thousands people surf the net. With the help of the net you can get many useful imformations, you can make friends with different people who are known or unkown, you can ask the help or question the answer.
DeletePEDs are like my part of my life. I would be crazy if I do not have PEDs around me. It is horrible for me to forget to take my cell phone going to outside. I know that cell Phone is a big problem for my study. Sometimes I can not focus on work while my cell phone in front me. For example when I am working on my homework, suddenly someone text to me, then I will check my phone who text to me.
Devices bring people a lot of convenient. Helping people connect each other, take pictures and record something. In modern society People can not lack cell phone in the hands. It is like that people you know are in front of you, you can talk to them using cell phone If you need urgently.
But it brings people some adverse things. Students play video game using cell phone or
computer even in the class so that it affects them grades. Also devices bring radiation to people and make them have a unhealthy time to work. Finally I think that the loveliness of Internet is infinitude and colorful, but strengthen to manage it. We make good use of it only while we have an appropriate approach to Internet .
I try not to use my phone when I'm with a group of friends. We usually gather to play basketball - my favorite sport. It's a great way to avoid the usage of electronic devices such as laptop, phone, and TV. So I recommend everyone to find an activity that they will enjoy without the usage of electronic devices.
ReplyDeleteI tried to not use my cell-phone, Ipad, and computer before. I think I can't leave them because they are important to me. For example, when I study, I need use them to find information. When I feel bored, I use them to play computer games or to watch cartoons. When I feel lonely, I can we-chat with my friends. Sometimes, I need help, so I have to use a phone to call somebody to help me. I know play computer games are not good for my studies and not good for my eyes, but I already get used to them, so I can't leave them. I think everyone use them too, and they have already become our lives' tools.
ReplyDeleteIn 21st century, I think we can't live without the devices, we use the computers to do everything, just like now, we use the computers to finish our assignment. In our lives, so many things work by computers, such as the TV, the transports, the planes........so many things!
ReplyDeleteI disconnected WIFI at home one day, I feel so boring and I coundn't find the data to do my HW. I felt angry because I close the WIFI. From that thing, I can know I won't live without the computers.
I think long time to use the computers is dangerous because they make our tired and hurt our eyes, they make me have the headache and don't talk with others.
I will play the PEDs less than before, and play with friend more than before.
our world can't disconnect with the devices now, what just we can do? It is use them less and less!
For the mordern life now, we can not actually leave the technology in our life. Especially for the Phone. We use it for everywhere, for instance, we call and tax our friends even they are in next room. We play micro games when we on the subway, when we in bathroom, when we feel boring. We use computer for watch TV show or play games during the night, we use electron devices for every where. For instance, the we use our laptop to post our ELL Journal every two weeks. We write papers on computer. So that we really can not leave computer. On the other way, we use many social website to make friends and know our real life friends more. But on the other side, although the technology is a sort of thing to make life easier, but it easy to waste time and bad for eyes. I spent more than half of my day on phones, or other electron devices.
ReplyDeleteTechnology is important for us. I use my phone everyday. When I wake up, I check my phone. When I go to bed, I check my phone. I never try to not use it. However, phones and computers sometimes are not good for us. Some people text to each other a lot, but they don't really talk. It is strange. Some students play games in class or text so they cannot listen to teacher. It is bad for a student because they cannot learn things. However, I can't leave my phone. I use it to talk with family in China. I use it to do homework. I use phone to watch movies and listen music. Technology is important for us, we cannot leave it but I think sometimes we can try to not use it. We should go out and do exercise.

ReplyDeleteIn the modern life now, we can’t live without technology. Leave away from phone, computer, Ipad. Computer makes us life easy. It helps us remember things, helps us do difficult things, helps us develop city and countries. Technology help us have fun. We can know many friends from the internet. It is good ways to have friends. Also we can know lots of things from internet. It helps us learn more knowledge. Technology helps us lot. If we live without technology, we will be inconvenient. Many things will be effected. So I cant imagine a life without technology, but computer game has negative effect, student plays game lots, and doesn't do homework. So I think we need use the positive thing of technology, not the negative.
ReplyDeleteWhen I play or talk with my friends, we always forget our phones. Because we are very happy to see each other. But I don't think I can go out of house and without my phone. In 21 century, the phone is necessary for anyone. We need the phone to connect our friend. We need the to find some important information in that moment. We also need the phone to look for help or call the 911 when we face some dangerous or accident. We cannot leave our phone in this times. But we shouldn't always focus or play any games or watch the movie on the phone too. We need to enjoy or appreciate this beautiful world. We need to find balance from the technology and nature. That's the thing we need to think and reaserch.
ReplyDeleteIt is IMPOSSIBLE to me! My phone and my computer already become a part of my life. No one can threw them out. It is a little bit crazy, but I believe there are lots of people are as crazier as me.
ReplyDeleteiPhones, iPods, iPads are the evidences of the society's improvements. We use these electronic device for connecting each other, looking at the websites to see the news of world, playing games, sharing ideas. To most people, phones and computers are the tools cannot without. We find pleasure on them, and they also help us solve some problems. For example, when I met a difficult math question, I always search it in the internet, then I find the answer. It doesn't mean electronic devises make us become lazy because there is not just the answer, sometimes we can see the procedures on it.
I can't imagine one day I will live without them. I had a bad memory on it. Last year, I broke my last phone, and though I tried my best to save it, it still died. It died on wednesday, and that means I needs to wait until weekend to buy a new phone. That was a hard week, I cannot connect with others, surf internet, if my computer is not behind me. I cannot stand that life again, so I think my life needs these little stuff, and they will be with me for a long time.
The question is can I imagine a life without any electronic devices. The answer is absolutely NOT! In my case, electronic devices are become a part of my life, I can’t live without them. Once, I left whole devices, and I went to outside. I didn’t go home at ten o’clock, my mother couldn’t connect with me, and then she worried about me. At last, she called to my friend and found me. Through this experience, I think cell phone is important to our life. It can help people to find others as soon as possible. In the other hand, I think electronic devices can help us to broaden our horizons. We can use the website to learn about the world news. It’s not only can broaden our horizons but also can bring us happiness. We can play games, chat with friends and use social software. Anyway, electronic devices are extremely important in our life.
ReplyDeleteI tried to not use my cell phone once. Because my English teacher promised she would give us extra credit for not using cell phone all day. It was my first time and also last time for not using cell phone whole day. As the technology developing, all kinds of electronic devices bring great convenience to people. I believe most of people are hard to leave their cell phone. Because cell phone already instead of lots of stuffs, such as newspaper, books, dictionary, flashlight and so on. But some people also think the electronic devices bring long distance to the friendship. People don’t gather together anymore on the weekend because they can solve anything through the cell phone. People ask for helping from the internet not their classmates, friends or teachers. This is one of the disadvantages of the electronic devices. Some parents also complained the electronics are bad for their children. Because children sunk into the electronic games world. They do not hang out with their parents or do some physical exercises anymore. And the radiation of the electronic also bad for our healthy. Although these PEDs have lots of disadvantages, they still are great creation. They provide huge convince to our life. The only thing we can do is trying to control the time of using these PEDs by ourselves and balance the relationship between PEDs and your life.
ReplyDeleteI have tried to do this before. I put the phone in my house. And try to go to outside do some sports, talking with my friends and walking alone. But I realize that if the mobile phone doesn’t stay with me .I will have a lot of troubles. For example, I can’t agree where to meet my friends. And I can’t call my family. Family always worried about me. Of course, I am very concerned there is no one to call me or contact me, but I missed it. When I was bored. I can’t chat with friends, or play mobile games. These troubles make me very unhappy. So I feel I can’t leave the cell phone.

ReplyDeleteThis time, many students have their own phones and computers and I also have. But, when I have studied in Chinese middle school and high school, our teachers don’t agree us to bring electronics to school, they think we don’t have enough self-control. In order to avoid us delaying learning because of playing with electronics, they formulate the effective school. If a teacher finds someone’s phone, he will confiscate it or delivers it to Class Deans and the student can get yours until the student graduate. So I don’t have any electronics before I have been studying in the TA. So sometime, I will feel I fall behind. I miss a lot of news and don’t know how to use some electronics. When I was having a science class, and the teacher ask as to use ipads, I always don’t know how to use. Is it no face for me? (YES) I realize this phenomenon for a long time, I think students should use electronics suitably to understand some new maters and keep up with the times.
ReplyDeleteI know students will encounter many dangers when they use this electronics. I suggest they should remember some important announcements about the Internet.
Spending too much time on the Internet is not good for people’s eyes and playing computer games is a wasting-time activity for students. I think students can spend this time doing sports or traveling or learning some new techniques to improve their ability. Many teachers say, when in the lunchtime, many Chinese students just play their own phones while eating, they seldom and others exchange. This isn’t good for them. I think so.
The electronics has two sides. It has a positive side. It can help us to connect others. As me, I can use my computer or my phone to connect my parents and friends to chat. Because of these communications, my parents and I can resolve the suffering of the lovesickness between family members.
Technology have been improved by need. We could live without this but, we needed this. So personal devices are necessary. The problem is teen's lack of self control ability. They use it too much. But I'm different. I prefer talking than sending message and, I don't like playing game. I don't care it is with me or not. But I can't live without it. Because it let me keep in touch with my friends and family in Korea and, I get many information from it. It became a big part of our life.Even schools, governments and, companies use it. In today living without it means falling behind time.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I really want to disconnect with my phone or computer. In fact, I don’t really care about those things. I love nature, l love music. Talking on the phone with my friends I prefer to hang out with them. These electronic products can make our lives easier, but it also deprives us a lot of time. Sometimes you will find that use your eyes to see the sunset is more beautiful than the pictures. In fact, we still need these electronic products, such as we can use them to write our homework, and help us work, even communications we can not do without them. Unconsciously electronic products have been incorporated into our lives to come.
ReplyDeleteNowadays, our world has been changed gradually. The electronic devices have become an essential part of the modern life. It is seen to be the most remarkable development which distinguishes the 21st century from others. However, everything has its perks and drawbacks.
ReplyDeleteFirstly, we can get the fast ways of communication through these devices. For example, today we are connected with every other human being on the planet in a way people never have been before by using phone contacts, e-mail and the internet ... The second thing worth mentioning is that thanks to these devices, our lives become much more convenient. Such is the busy life that everyone wants to save their time. For instance, we enable to do the shopping online instead of going the the store.
Although it is extremely useful, there are some downsides to the modern technology. Most people believe that they can’t live without their phones. The more we use our devices, the more time - consuming it is. As an example, many students usually surf the internet uselessly for many hours. Moreover, it is extremely dangerous to share our personal information such as phone number, home address.
In my point of view, I think we can’t avoid using modern technology in this modern life. However, we are able to use them wisely. I used to have a dumb phone before my father gave me a smartphone as a present on my 14th birthday. I have to admit that there are not many differences between them except the fact that the smartphone is far more beautiful. I still use my cell phone as a watch or an alarm even though I know it has many more functions. Sincerely, I would rather people didn't use their phones so often because it is odd when you want to start a conversation with someone that keeps looking at the phone’s screen.
I don't think we can exist in the world without the electronic devices. In ancient, people didn’t use electronic devices and they didn't think they use that. Our earth changes everyday, we used to do works by ourselves, using our hands. Now, the techniques in most of industries are mature enough for them to have machines to help their companies going. The electronic devices are becoming parts of our lives we need them and we relay them. Once, my classmates asked me to hang out with them. When I returned there, I found that I forget to take my phone with me. I felt unsafe and panicked. After hang out with my friends, I borrowed my friend’s phone and called my uncle to come and get me. I don’t know what can I do if my friend wasn’t there to let me borrowed her phone. So It’s necessary to have the electronic devices with us.

ReplyDeleteIn fact, I have to say I can’t leave my phone away because I usually listen music and watch some video when I feel so boring, so I bring my phone every day, but I think I leave my computer sometimes because I never use my computer to play games. I tried to leave my phone, but I lost because if I leave my phone in a long time, I will feel so uncomfortable and usually find my phone in my pocket. I know if I usually bring electronic device with me, it will be bad for my healthy and body, so for my body and healthy, I go to play basketball every. The one of the reason that I play basketball is that I really like it, and another is I want to leave my electronic device sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI think now, nobody can say “no” to electronic device, but we can’t only stay in our electronic device and depend on them because we have our real life. If you want to be happy and healthy, You should usually use our free time to play sports and chat with your good, not only stare at the screen of your electronic device!
today to be informated is necessary have a phone is a global world and all of us are connected but i don't think we need it every single second in our lives i didn't have my phone in this past 8 or 7 months and i was fine i talk with my friends by skype and with my parents too i really think someone can live without a cell phone one day or more , i still made friends be sociable and talk to the people you love.
ReplyDeleteeverything has changed the love is measured with how many text you receive or if that person is connected or not , i don't think it should be like that in many ways i think the world has changed in bad ways i guess back in time the people appreciated more talk face to face that now when one does it behind a screen.
i know people that cannot concentrate in their homework because the phone and they need their parents to take it away for 2 or 3 hours for a lot of people is an addiction but i really think anyone can live without it , is not that important and it takes the best moments of ours lives away
from Mimi:
ReplyDeleteElectronic stuff is very important for us now, we always use them in everywhere,
but it’s a problem for people now. Somebody think we shouldn’t use electronic like
all the time, but somebody need it all the time, they can’t live without electronic. I
think I can live without it but not too long. Once I lost my 4th
was so angry that she didn’t buy me a new one, I lived without phone for about 2
month. At first, I felt very relax, I don’t need too worry about message and other
thing. But after about one week, I felt inconvenient without a phone, it’s too hard to
call someone or find someone. so I prefer living with a phone.
from Christina:
ReplyDeleteI can't not have a good life without my cell phone. In my opinion, electronic devices have already become a most important part in my life when I got my first cell phone. Although I cannot live without electronic devices, I don't think they are definitely good for life. I don't know how much time that I spend on my cell phone every day, but I'm sure it is longer than the time on my study. I waste too much time on my electronic devices, but also I rely on them. I tried to leave my cell phone and talked with my friends before, but it was an unsuccessful attempt. I had to find my phone again and again during that time, maybe sometimes I just looked for the time, but I had to make sure my phone is nearby. I know a cell phone is not a good thing. They can hurt eyes, and hinder the communications between people. But I can't stop using electronic devices. I'm crazy, also I know lots of people are more crazy than me.
from Kenny:
ReplyDeleteI cannot leave my room without all these electronic devices even just for a
second. I cannot imagine a life without them. It’s just too hard for us in this century if
you want to disconnect with these stuffs. It’s fine for me to hang out with friends or talk
with somebody face to face, but I just cannot go without my phone. I think it already
became a part of my body so I cannot leave it alone. It’s going to be a problem if you
go outside without your phone and somebody is looking for you for some emergency
purposes. It’s horrible for me to disconnect, because everyone is connected with Internet
or phones. I think it’s okay to keep your personal electronic devices with you, but just
don’t use it all the time especially in Mr. Griffin’s class. It’s not just because that your
phone will be taken but also not good for your eyes.
Thanks, everyone, for your comments on PEDS. The vote appears to be unanimous that electronic devices - especially the cellphone - are essential to modern life, and that we all can't live without them. I applaud those of you who have at least tried to go without your phone for a day or more. To those who haven't: go ahead and try, you might surprise yourself?
ReplyDeleteI can remember. Parents almost bought new phone for child, when they go to middle school. I'm so excited, when I had the first phone. I couldn't go to the bed. I could talk with friends every night use phone, but the problem is coming. My teacher told my mum:"Why your son sleep in the classes? What did he do in the night?" My mum very angry and took my phone. I'm so sad, and I feel some things lose. It's really so bad, but maybe one mouth later. I can study hardy and my Mum feel happy again.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, I haven't tried to disconnect. Despite it's a little bit inconvenience but I think it will be ok with my life because I can spend more time with my family and my friends. For example, instead of watching movie, playing video game and surfing Facebook, I can go out, take a walk with my best friend and talk more about our story. Beside that, I can spend more time to have a picnic or travel to somewhere during a vacation with my family. It sounds great.
ReplyDeleteI usually lived without phone when I was in Thailand and when I stay with my Thai friends. My School wasn’t allowed students to bring cellphones to school because they scared of students lose cellphone and the school won’t take care of that. I always hanging out with my friends so I don’t really use my cellphone a lot but I use my cellphone all the time when I stay alone. Since I came to TA I use my phone a lot. I use it for keep in touch with my family and my Thai friends. PEDs are dangerous for me, especially my eyes. Now I can’t really see the white board when I study because I play my cellphone too much. I think if we live without electronic devices we will have more friends and we will be friendlier to people. Nowadays, some people see each other everyday but they never talk. I think my life can live without phone because it is not really important to me.

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion,we can't live without electronic devices.For example,i am using computer right now to write a journal online.Electronics are necessary for modern life.These devices connect our social life,they are evidence of Human Evolution.People may think electronics make people addiction,but every has its own dual character,it depends on the way we use it.If we can use them in a right way,they could be helpful.Also we can use it for fun proper.
ReplyDeleteElectronic devices are critical to our lives. I could not imagine what our lives would be without these devices. I personally spent at least hours on cell phones and my laptop everyday. I have not really been 'disconnected ', only my cell phone ran out of battery at once, that day was such a pain in the... butt. People are more closely connected, and our lives are made much more convinent by personally electronic devices. Now when I have a picture that I want to share with my friend, I don't have to print it out, all I need to do is just clicking a tiny little "send' button. I am even writing my journal on my cell phone!
ReplyDeleteI can’t leave electronic device. I need electronic device everyday. It can make many things easy, but I tried leave electronic device two days last year. I went to camping last year without any electronic device for two days. I went to camping with my friends and two dorm parents. I sleep at eight o’clock and get up at four o’clock everyday. I think is really funny, but I think I can keep leave any electronic device for very long time. I think everybody who use electronic device everyday should try to go to a camping like me. Its really fun, but I think we still can’t leave electronic device for long time.
ReplyDeleteIf you want me to live without any PEDs, I will say just kill me! I had experience without any PEDs.
ReplyDeleteThat was 2 years ago, when i was in the middle school. One day I went to school, I forgot to take my cell-phone. During the time when I was in the school, It was very boring. After first class, there had 10 mins break, I had nothing to do, but i wanted to do something. At that time I knew PEDs are the part of my life, I can't live without it.
After that time, I always take my PEDs with me to everywhere, even I'm in the bathroom.
I know PEDs have a little radiation, but i still like take it to go everywhere, even i'm sleeping, i put it under my pillow.
Nowadays people should have PEDs with them, it will make life more convenient. That 's the reason why old people invented these PEDs.
I don't think we can live without all PEDs in this world, people 200 years ago don't need PEDs because they live in a tiny place and have few of friends, they don't need a phone or a laptop. The world is different now, i have lots of friends, they live in different place all around the world, i have to use PEDs when i talk or play with them.
ReplyDeleteMy laptop and cellphone are a big part of my life, i can chat with friends or play video games when i feel boring, and do some homework or learn something interesting. They are really useful.
I agree it is danger when PEDs take me much time, but i can balance PEDs and activities, so i never worry about addicted in PEDs.

ReplyDeleteFirst I have to recognize I can't leave my phone when I go outside, and I even need it in my home. Now electronic products can be a part of our life. I think most people can't leave electronic products when they work, eating or do something else. Phone is the most typical electronic products, it can let us talking easily although we are far away, but sometimes we also ignore the people around. This is why we can see some people are having lunch, but everyone is playing cell phone and nobody talking to other. Computer is another typical electronic products. Computer offers many help for our country and our life, but there are also some harm for us. More and more people want to spend their time on computer and they begin try to stay at home all day for computer because there is nothing that is more interesting than computer. The most terrible thing of Electronic products is we know it is dangerous for our life, but we still can't refusal it.
ReplyDeleteYes i could live without all of my electronic devices. Why not? Even a lots of diseases come from electronic devices. Also if we use them wrong we could be addicted to them. Today there a lots of applications, games and new devices are waiting for their users. It could be dangerous because it is nonstop. It never ends. But if we are a conscious users it is not a problem for us. It helps instead of damage us. We could reach all the informations with only one click. We can read news, we can do researches or even we can find where we want to go. So the problem is how we use it.
ReplyDeleteYeah I think that I'm not that kind of person who can't live without electronics devices. I could perfectly live without them. There are too many things you can do without electronics devices like sports, going out with friends... I think because of the electronic devices, the people are doing less these things.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried to disconnect, I've never thought about that. I have to be honest, here in the USA, it would be impossible to disconnect because there's nothing to do. In this winter I'm sure that if I would have tried it, I would have never done it, but in Spain in think I could easily do it. Not long ago this electronic devices didn't even existed, so of course I can imagine it. Also when I was young I passed my childhood playing soccer with my friends, and not staying in home playing video games,and that is changing. Now every kid has an Iphone, Ipod or something, and they pass every afternoon with them instead of go out with friends.

ReplyDeleteWithout computers,what is our life like? If there are no computers, first,high technology can't be realised so quickly,our life has not become so easy now and communications can not make the world so small .It is the computers that have got people closer and closer and to understand more and more with each other in the world.There being no computers, our life may creep forward little by little and a great large number of people on earth are still suffering hanger and
ReplyDeletewars and disasters have brought us greater damage.
i use electronic devices every day. they help me do things that are hard to solve. i think i cant live without electronic devices. i use my laptop everyday to watch things and do my home work. i chat with my friends and my family and friends who are in my country. they call me with my phone. i cant walk without my phone. i would feel bad and unsafe if i go out without my phone. i listen to music when im bored mostly when im traveling. i tried many times to live without them for one day but i would feel bad. so i think that i cant live without electronic devices.
ReplyDeleteLet’s image this situation, a 100 meters height dinosaur appears near your home. Maybe it’s a Godzilla. It’s harmless and it doesn’t eat humans & animals. But it still causes so much damage because of its giant body.
ReplyDeleteThat’s closed to the situation that you suddenly lost your entire electronic devices. Actually, we can live without any electronic devices for a few days，just like we can put Godzilla in a zoo and raise it. But, what about maintain it for weeks? Months? Years? We can’t lose the convent that these devices bring to us. We can’t let Godzilla off springs and changes our world forever as well.
Now you realize how deeply the electronic technology changes our world. What we can do right now isn’t stopping this change and come back to the old world. We should adapt to this change.
We can't live without electronic technology. Now we live in a electronic technology world. everything need electronic technology. For example, we need to eat everyday. We need to use electronic technology to make food hot and fresh. Another example for me. I'm a boarding student, i need to use cell phone everyday. I need to keep in touch with my family. When we walk in the street in the night if we don't have electronic technology. We can't even see things. So, I can't image we don't have electronic technology in the world.
ReplyDeleteI can live with out the PEDs for few days, and I always do something with out the PEDs. I always read books at afternoon and go camping with friends. All this stuff is without the PED. and most of the time, I use the phone or pad is read the e-books. I can't live without the electric for long time. I'm not Mennonite, I can't imagine the life without the PEDs.
ReplyDeleteIn our lives, electronic device are a necessity. We all have our own cell phone, iPods and iPads. In China, almost public places people use their own electronic device to do their own things. When groups of people together, a small number of people would using their phones or iPads, that also makes the friends who are stay with you feel unhappy. For me, when I go outside with my friends we weren’t allowed to use personal electronics device. In fact, it is not hard to leave electronic products, including our cell phone that is always in ours hand. When Mr. Griffin took my phone in the first block, all that day I did not use my phone. At that time I found the phone is not that important for me. When we stay with friends or family, don’t just look at your electronic device. We need communicate with human.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, Electronic products have a bad effect of radiation, excessive radiation on the human body, such as caused by dementia, hypertension, heart disease, electromagnetic hypersensitivity, abnormal hormone and calcium loss.
It is true, which is that the technology and science are developing so fast, people around the world are getting closer and closer. Nowadays, people can't live without electric, just like me, i have to use my computer and cell phone every day, communicate with my girlfriend and my parents, and also need to use the electrics to finish the homework. in the past, people only can use the books, but, it just waste a lot of time, people don't have to spend a lot of time to search a sample answer, the teachnology just like ipod can help us out. fast and great. so, in my opinion, i can't live without electrics.
ReplyDeletefrom Sherry:
ReplyDeleteMore and more people devices to use electronic. They can make it easier to contact
with a wide group of friends and they bring to people a lot of fun. People can easily
find what they want to resources on the Internet. But when people begin to use
electronic, it is hard for them to disconnect. Just like me, I think I can stay with out
electronic for one day but I can not image that I do not use electronic for a long time.
In my opinion, lots of people spend too much time on their smart phone and laptop.
Foe example, when a group of people stay together, they do not have a conversation
but use their electronic. I think this is a little dangerous.
i think people can not live without those products. because everyone needs to contact with their friends or family, and if they are living very far from each other, they need internet. if i leaving my room without phones and computer, my parents can not contact me then, and they will worry about me. but sometimes if a person want to have a travel without contact stuff, it is really interesting thing to do. they can hang out for couple days without phones and computers, and nobody can bother them. this is a good way to throw out all worries.
