Digital Life Response

      In ways, I think the phrase, "Digital life has changed who we are" is actually true. There are good ways that technology has changed or even improved our lifestyle, from organization, to even entertainment. Nowadays, we don't have to go through the whole process of researching manually, as in reading from books in the library, to even interviewing people face to face. Instead, we can now use the power of the internet to just search it up on Google and find a wide variety of results for what you're looking for. Like the video quoted, "And now I never have a sense of what to do", technology will never get you bored since there are multiple things you can do with our modern day technology.
      But don't forget, there are also cons for having a 'digital life'. For example, relying too much on technology for research. Imagine you have a research paper that's for homework, but suddenly, your WiFi connection crashed. What are you going to do now? That's exactly my point, people these days aren't used to going to the library or using books to do their research, they rely on the internet far too much.
      Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with having a 'digital life', since it has improved mankind abundantly, and still gradually improving the way we live. If we didn't have a 'digital life', we wouldn't have the technology to discover new things such as antidotes to diseases. All in all, we all live a digital life. It's great to have one, but remember, try not to rely on technology too much.

Here's a link I found that shows how much technology has changed our lives:
