Q # 1- Are you on Facebook? If you are what do you get out of it and if you aren't do you think you are missing out on anything?
I am not on Facebook. Luckily perhaps, because I work full-time and have children I don't have time to think about what i might be missing. I get emails now saying that someone wants to friend me, and my reaction is "I can't manage any more friends!"
Q # 2 - In your opinion which is better: Playing video games or Watching Television?
Playing video games is an active experience and with some games can be a learning experience.
Watching TV is always passive, but there are some good shows. Doing either for too long a time is depressing to me because most of us are sitting so much of the day in our jobs or in school.
Q # 3 - Do you think that the Internet has made you smarter?
The Internet allows us to satisfy our curiosity immediately, and I think having this resource might make us more curious. If we read or hear something that makes us want to know more, we can find out right away. Before the Internet, people would think, "Oh, I should go look that up in the library," but might never end up going or go having forgotten all about a particular question. I think the answer is yes if we use the Internet to keep learning more about a subject.
Q # 4 - Do you think that you are in danger of becoming a computer potato as oppose to a couch potato?
Because I use the computer so much in my job, I try not to use it too much at home in the evenings. If I did, I would absolutely be a potato and probably a blind potato (too much eyestrain). It's important not to forget our legs and arms and other muscles.
Q # 5 - Do you get annoyed having to listen to people's cell phone conversations on the street? Do you think people get annoyed having to listen to your cell phone conversations?
Incredibly annoyed, and do I think about what others might be thinking about my conversations on sidewalks? Never. I feel like a big hypocrite. I do try not to talk too loudly.
Q # 6 - Which of the new technologies most revs your engine?
Two that I don't have yet. I look forward to having an IPhone and an IPOD. I especially want an IPOD so that I can listen to podcasts I like from public radio and pick the music I like the most -- all different types.
Q # 7 - What do you think will be the next new technology that will change your life?
Perhaps a robot that can act like a personal trainer.
Strangers #1 and #2
Q # 1- Are you on Facebook? If you are what do you get out of it and if you aren't do you think you are missing out on anything?
#1 - No and no.
#2 - Yes. Facebook lets me stay in touch easily with people I don't often see because I can write them a brief message instead of calling them on the phone which I don't do because I don't have enough time.
Q # 2 - In your opinion which is better: Playing video games or Watching Television?
#1 - Neither is good. It's better to be reading or exercising.
#2 - Playing video games is better because it can sharpen the mind and is an active expirience unlike watching television.
Q # 3 - Do you think that the Internet has made you smarter?
#1 - No. It is just a tool like a dictionary.
#2 - Yes- in the sense that it makes information available to me so easily that I get much more information than I used to and this information gives me more to think about.
Q # 4 - Do you think that you are in danger of becoming a computer potato as oppose to a couch potato?.
#1 - No. I try not to use the computer at night because I have to use it so much during the day.
#2 - No. I play sports and exercise all the time to avoid becoming a computer potato.
Q # 5 - Do you get annoyed having to listen to people's cell phone conversations on the street? Do you think people get annoyed having to listen to your cell phone conversations?.
#1 - All the time. I try not to use my cell phone when other people are around.
#2 - No. I am too busy listening to my I-pod.
Q # 6 - Which of the new technologies most revs your engine?.
#1 - None of them. I am still waiting for one to do that.
#2 - The I-pod. It relaxes me and gets me pumped.
Q # 7 - What do you think will be the next new technology that will change your life?
#1 - One that will let me fly on a plane without having to go to an airport.
#2 - One that will let me close my eyes in one country and open them right away in another.
