How much is too much?
This course has definitely opened me up to a lot of technologies and resources that I never even knew existed and I do appreciate that it is "forcing" me to become familiar with a lot of new things, however, I had a thought cross my mind the other day and wanted to get others opinions on it. How much technology is too much technology? I have heard some people talk about technology overload and that our generation is becoming so reliant on it and part of me thinks that maybe being too reliant on technology could potentially be a bad thing because I am sure we have all seen flukes with technology and had our rough moments. On the other hand, I also see the increase use of technology as a positive because it is opening our world up to new experiences and faster/better ways of communicating. There have definitely been times where I have become a little overwhelmed with this course and thought to myself if so many websites, blogs, generators, etc were necessary and it actually almost gave me a little bit of anxiety at first, but I think if I just keep trying to increase my usage week by week, it won't seem as overwhelming and maybe that is how people need to react to all of the technology overload as well.
