Self-Reflection
Reflecting back on this project, I would say it was difficult for me to film, and find information. I encountered continuous hurdles trying to record, and get the right time. I would either mess up the lines, have someone walk in and interrupt, or it would be too short. This project, although difficult, was also a good learning experience. Something that I thought went well was how the words all flowed nicely, and smoothly. Editing the video took a bit of time as my computer wasn’t able to download certain apps, so I had to find and learn a new app. When I figured out how to use the app it was fairly simple to edit. Overall, I believe this project helped me to gain experience making videos and overcoming challenges. If I were to do this project again, I would try to go more in-depth with the editing, make my words more expressive, and expand the length of the video.
Hello, I’m Nathan Donnelly and today’s topic is
Technology, making society lazy?
Technology has made a whole lot of difference in our society today
But it has also transformed people into lazy bones
These days, people don’t need to run errands no more
they push a button on their phones
We call it convenient, or are we just hiding the fact technology makes us lazy
Everything we used to be able to do in person
We can do online
Technology has made life easier for lazy people
And is making every person lazier
Suppressing our abilities to do stuff hands on
Technology is creating an environment where we don’t need to leave our houses
Technology is also affecting people’s activity levels, as more and more people stop doing sports and activities, the more and more time people spend online
I will admit
Technology has also done a lot of good for our society
being able to contact family and friends around the world
Being able to promote your business on social media
Look up any information on an encyclopaedia
Catching up on any news media
And much, much more
It’s crazy how good technology can be
But if your time on technology goes unmanaged
It will turn you into
A lazy, and unhealthy person
Sitting inside all day, not moving
Removing ourselves from society
Our lives run out of variety
Each day we spend on our phones
The longer we postpone our life
Take it from me when I say technology “can” make us lazy
My brother is lazy
Driving our parent’s crazy
Spends all day in his room
If you take away his device
It’s like you stabbed him with a knife
When our parents ask him to do a chore
It’s like someone broke his leg and he can’t move no more
Spends all his time on his device
The mess in his room is enough to attract mice
I give this example as advice
For what technology can do to
People like you and me, you can disagree
But it’s a fact that technology “can” make us lazy
Most of us go home to our rooms
watching videos, and playing games
Not doing a thing, except checking your phone when you hear a ding
Wasting time on things that have no meaning
Spending our hours watching people do what we can’t do
But that’s not true we can do whatever we set our minds too
But we have become so lazy
We no longer have a clue
On what we can and cannot do
Facts show that people
spend on average 5 hours
A day on technology
That number is only going to keep rising
Unless we decide to make a change
It’s time to rearrange
Try and occupy our lives with different things
At first it will be strange, but keep working hard
Get active, interactive with people on and off the screen
So put away those devices
And get out there, make connections
Not to WIFI but with people and recreation
Thank you all for listening hope you have been informed on how technology can turn any of us into lazy people – goodbye
