Technology Ups and Downs

What I find useful in technology
&
What I don't find useful in technology 

Useful

Technology for me shows to be extremely useful to me as for what I can do thanks to it. The fact that I can store all my work on a small portable device and can use my Tablet to help me be mobile to do my work as well, makes its very useful to me.

First off is simply using a computer to help with my work in general, being able to search up online and with the help of google I can get access to easy information. For anything I quickly need to check up on or understand I can use the resources off the internet to immediately help find something out. If that's to find Tutorials for something or to understand a term within this subject or another. Access to the internet thanks to technology can be very useful.

Second would be that I can store my work on a cloud or USB drive makes saving work and transferring it from one location to another very easy with such a small device I can take my work to and from school simply. Meaning I can be flexible where and when I do my work to help reach my deadlines. Meaning I can organize my time better something that can prove to be really useful

Also with use of a Tablet I own, I can use the Blogger App to update my blog on the go, meaning I can be mobile, doing my work not just at home and school and also to take pictures and uploading them quicker rather than moving them to a computer and uploading it on there.

In summary to the Usefulness of technology I believe having the use of the internet, portable storage and mobile apps can help improve the effectiveness of my work.


Not Useful

Though technology can prove to be extremely useful I have to say there are some dangers to using them making them not useful. In the cases of losing my USB stick or having damaged my device, it would then have no use to me.


If I was to lose my USB stick, since it is very small that would mean the loss of my work, this would prove to be no use to me. As unless I have backups (which I will) I would have to start all the way back at square one and would cost me valuable time.

Also to update my blogger and to do majority of my work I will need a computer and internet access, this would mean I would have to be connected to a Wifi network to get my work done, meaning if I was in an area or away and had no access to this, I wouldn't be able to get work done, meaning ints not useful when going so far from places. In addition if say, google was to be down or a given website I would also mean I would lose out getting information from this source meaning I would be relying on my information to come from sources that I wouldn't know if it will go down or not.

For the use of my tablet if I was to drop / damage it, I would hinder the uses on it meaning I would lose my mobility on doing my work and since Tablets can be fragile and can break easily if not handled carefully. So I would have to treat my things with care.

In summary the use of Technology can be very fragile if relied on alot of the time though it would mean getting work done quicker, I must always have a backup plan towards no having access to technology to help me do my work
