Assignment 4

1. Discuss what the main idea of the video is?
The main idea is to see how much the world has changed throughout history. Technology affects positively and negatively the people. It makes you think if you are past oriented or future oriented. For example, people cant manage waiting anymore and kids now have a different mentality.

 2. Do you see yourself as past oriented or future oriented? Why?
I see myself as a future oriented person because technology is part of me. I see time like opportunities to do something and I get anxious pretty fast. I don't look at my past like I look at my future, the future is more important to me.

 3. Do you agree or disagree with the speaker in the video? Explain why?
I agree because he says that people now a days cant wait for something, they want everything FAST!!! In addition, I also believe kids focus more on playing video games than focusing on the future. There is also many people that look at the past and not in the future and that waste their time only on job and not family anymore.

 4. Do you agree with the speaker's view that young adults' minds are being "digitally rewired"? Explain your answer.
I do because young adults are addicted to technology, they want to be updated with the world. Also, people have begun to be more lazy than ever and they just want to do nothing. They prefer to drop school than to be listening to a teacher.

 5. Why does the narrator in the video argue that young people dislike a single-function device such as a wristwatch? 
The narrator argues because we want more. The wristwatch doesn't do anything special at all. We want things like phones that can multitask.

1. Why did Sir Tim Berner's Lee decide to make the World Wide Web free when he created it at CERN?
Because he noticed that more users would wanted because it was free. Many people don't want to pay for things, and now it is a daily thing. The World War Web is something everyone wants and needs and he figured that out.

 2. What are the benefits of having "web addresses," an idea that Sir Tim Berner's Lee created?
We can look up many things nonstop! Whenever we want to look information we can with just a click, and if we want to look more we can. It is more easier than finding info in a book.

3. How does the World Wide Web allow people from all over the world to communicate?
Because it is a big network linked to many webpages. The links connect all over the world which allow people to communicate through world wide web pages. Social media allows people to also communicate.

4. Why is it important to link information? What are the benefits of having instant access to information?
Because if we link information we have better access and we know more specific details. The benefits, are many, we can find answers in seconds. Also, it can help us when we need the answer instantly and there is no time to wait.
