Mixing technologies

Today much more technology is interconnected, for example people can now get Facebook updates to your mobile phone. Similarly, now you can get news and sports updates on your phone wherever you go. As explained in the Briggs textbook, the internet is now adapting to different technologies such as the new phones and ipods.

Though I am a fan of technology, I like to keep them separate. I have had a cell phone for a couple years now and even though they now offer phones with many features, I just use my phone to call people on. I do have some friends who get sports updates on their phone to follow games that they either can't attend or watch.

As intrigued and tempted I am to purchase the new iphone i try to refrain away from it because of all the temptation the phone comes with. Staying away from text messaging during class is difficult enough, I couldn't imagine trying to avoid checking my facebook on my phone and try to listen to a lecture.
