The film Digital
Nation was definitely an eye opener for me.
I am one of those
who was brought up
in a time where there was none of this available so easily.
I did not realize
how advanced and far society is in technology.
It was almost like
watching the Syfy
channel. Yes I am aware of some technology, cellphones,
computers, (I have
those), social media, video games, but I was not
aware of
how technology
is tolerated in the some schools especially among college students. I
am
attending college and I would never think to have my focus somewhere else but
on
the
teacher.
The video games that are so readily available and used as I watched the
film are
mind boggling
especially the games at the government
facility, where teenagers are
aloud to
go and play when they want and recruits visit, are violent in my book and are
teaching the children to shoot aim and fire
without any remorse or consequence. Yes,
they
are playing a video game but I don’t think that any game with violence is for
our
children
in society. It is almost as if this type
of violence is ok with the person playing
the
game but with no consequence or feeling.
The gentlemen
in the film talked about a “New Human Being”, is this the type of
human
being that we would want our children to become? I’m wondering that with
more and more new
technology becoming available, is this really what we want for
our children in
the future and is it worth the consequence?
