Are We All Digital Dummies?



I do believe that we have all become digital dummies. We post, tweet, and blog without thinking about the content of the things that we are posting. Posting your entire lives on the inter net has become the norm. This can be a very dangerous thing. By doing this you are basically opening your entire lives to internet predators. Also we have become almost dependent on our devices. We feel that we need to have them where ever we are, and if we don’t, we feel lost like we are left out of the loop. We will never again know what is going on in the world and in our own lives. I mean it would be the end of the world if someone actually had to call you back.

      “We become what we behold. We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us.” – Marshall McLuhan

This quote is saying that we are what we make ourselves. We can make ourselves into whatever we want, but soon after it is no longer us that shapes who we are. It is what we had previously made ourselves into that will then on further make us into who we are to become. If you rob a store and get caught, the for the rest of your life people with call you a thief, and upon hearing this over and over again you to will believe that you a thief even if that was the past and you have changed.
