- As I am looking around the living room in my new house many different items catch my eye for different reasons. The item that first draws my attention is the television. The reason why the television attracts my attention first is because it puts off a picture and sounds. I like to be around the television while doing my homework because i like to listen to what is going on in the outside world. The next major item that attracts my attention is my dinner sitting on the coffee table next to me. There are multiple reasons why my dinner attracts my attention. The main reason that it catches my eye is cause I made it, and it looks so delicious and flavorful. On top of my cooking masterpiece, I have to gain weight for football. Gaining weight is not always fun but it is another step for me tone the best football player I can be. Lastly, the last thing that catches my eye is my phone. Whenever i hear a buzz or beep I tend to pick up my phone to see who is trying to contact me. My phone is not my biggest distraction, but when I pick up my phone I tend to lose track of what I was currently doing to explore my social media.
What was I thinking about when I last showered and why?
- My last shower was this morning after football workouts. The first thought that came into my mind was, what are my plans for today and how am I going to use my time. This was my first thought because I knew I had breakfast, class, lunch, meetings, dinner, and the NBA finals game three. With me scheduling out my time helped me know what I could do in my spare time. The second thing was singing the song that was playing in the locker room this morning. Songs to me always bring back memories from the past that allows me to relive or remember the good/bad times I have had listening to that specific song.
What was the last thing I was thinking about before I went to sleep last night?
- The last thing I was thinking about before I fell asleep last night was what time do I have to get up this morning, and what do I have to today. This is very common of me to think about the day ahead so I know how to use my time as wisely as I can. I believe that time management is very important because it is a key to be successful, and being successful is a very high goal of mine. After I figure out what the next day holds, I tend to think about family, friends, football, and girls. The reasons why these thoughts go in and out through my mind is because the people in my life are very important to me. I tend to think about the people I care about more often then not. I was raised to believe that you should hold the people you care about as close to you as you can because you never know when they will be there for you or when they may be deceased.
What was my favorite class in college/high school and why?
- My favorite class in high school was most definitely my strength and fitness class. I thoroughly enjoyed this class because I got to workout and be active. In this class we not only lifted weights, but also got to play many different sports that are played all across the world. This class was very stress releasing and got my mind back on track for class after. My favorite class in college thus far would have to be library 101. I enjoyed this class because it did not require much work at all and it was very short term. This class not only had the perks of being short and not very difficult, but it also showed me how the library works and how to use the library beneficially.
What is my critical question?
- The critical question I choose was, How might the use of modern technology affect the American society. The reason why I choose this as my critical question is because you can have many branch questions such as; how the use of technology affects the social skills, I can go into detail about what age groups it affects most, and I can also go into what technology is the most abused by the American society. Technology has been a major part of my life, and it will be a major part of my future children's lives. I want to come to a better understanding about how the use of technology can be beneficial rather then a flaw.This question is very relevant to me because I was born into the technology generation, and I can already see first hand how less social we are and how kids my age can't stay away from their phones for more then five minutes. I have been around technology all my life, and I personally do not know where my life would be without it. I grew up with cell phones, game systems, iPods, and computers. Yes they can be very useful, but at the same time they can be very harmful to a young mind. The use of technology throughout my life has helped me research many many things and stats that I never would have known without the use of modern technology, but it has also led to me looking or playing things that I shouldn't have been doing in my early childhood. This question is very relevant to others in my society and community because they too grew up with it. They are going through the same, if not worse, affects of technology on their personal and social lives. Technology is taking over the world not only by what you post on the internet but your privacy. Back before the technology era privacy was more private. you would not have people listening in on your calls, social media, cameras, etc. It is hard to do something in today's age without the world knowing. The government can see what your doing, who your calling, and what your researching at all times. This to me is very discomforting as a citizen of the United States, because in the Constitution it claims that you have the right to privacy. I think it will be very easy for me to do three writing project about this topic because yet the topic is broad it has many different branching questions you can add. I feel very comfortable with this topic because it will help me learn more about the topic of technology and give me a better understanding of the pros and cons. I personally do not have any concerns as of now about the three writing projects and the question I have chosen. I think that my topic will be very interesting when it comes to the research and the facts about the use of technology in the American society. I think this topic will not only help give me a better understanding, but also my group workshop when they read and correct my papers.
