Summary about the Video "Teens and Tech" Andres Felipe Vanegas

The video clearly shows what technology is doing to families and people. Everyone's life has been transformed by technological advances but there are positives and negative points of view anyways we will always find that somehow there is always a negative effect.

The presenter starts defining video technology as an extension of the body. Every day we are used to the benefits of technology becoming very difficult to work without it, this situation makes people dependent on technological devices. In this sense the use of technology among members of a family could positively or negatively affect its binding manner. For example, it has been observed that today most children spend, on average time connected to a computer or a cellular (more than any other activity); and they can be multitask people, they listening to the music, receive emails and work on the computers and while they give an eye on facebook.

The presenter mentioned that most parents believe that technology only refers to electronic devices and the Internet and all the web services such a facebook or whats up. but in fact the technology is all around us, the clothes, the music, the way we act and live in a society.

what is certain is that technology affects us in the way we relate, the contact we have with the people becomes impersonal, the perception of time and the development of mental abilities are getting down. To clarify on the point of view of social relations, the presenter shows that people prefer to chat rather than having physical contact with the person, it leads us  to think that technology directly affects human emotions. 

In the conference the presenter is trying to advice parents to be accountable to the use of technology with their children. as adults is important not to be afraid and give proper use. Social interaction is something that can not be replaced by virtual environments.

Summary about the video "Teens and Tech" Paula Betancurth

This conference is very interesting because it talks about a topic that is part of our daily lives and that we present all around us, and it is Technology.

As an introduction, the speaker defines us in his own words What is technology. He says that technology is extensions of our humanity. Tech is a reflection of us related to social connections and social media. He also tell us that "Technology isn't just the device it is the physical manifestation of it, technology is bassically everything surrounding us."

The presenter constantly refers to the fact that the way we humans use technology determines if the usage is either appropriate or inappropriate.

Another important point that is in the video is What is tech doing to us? The presenter point 4 negative things: Technology disrupts development, distracting our mental skills and abilities, desintegrating our relationships and depriving our feelings.

Now we inhibit real relationships, human connection, because we prioritize our  phones over the people right in front of us. Nowadays population is more vulnerable to use and create a dependence on electronic devices such as smartphones and video games, making them to live a virtual life and losing the personal contact with people in real time.

Face to face interaction is a must, but the idea is not talk about tech, the goal is to talk about each other. Parents should not be afraid of technology instead they must be responsible for regulating and supervising children when they use technology.

Psychologist suggests stimulating the face to face interaction in order to increase the love, patience, understanding and union in families.
