Interviews and Surveys

For my first interview i asked my mom some questions, i started out with what do you think of Digitalization and then moved to how has it changed since you were a child, then what gives you this opinion?

She started with firmly stating that digitilization was a good thing and because of that we are moving along much much faster as a society. Back when she was a child she didn't have this kind of stuff and regardless of that fact she loves that she has it now especially because she works in the news buisness. If she couldn't get information right on the spot when she needed it then she wouldn't have a job because what she is doing needs it to be fresh and new. And even more then that she believes that it isn't corrupting the youth of today but educating and connecting us even more then before

For my second interviews i asked strangers on the street an assortment of questions that went from what do you think of Digitalization and how does it affect you? And, Could you survive without your cellphone of camera? Then, what would you do with out it?

A great interview was with two business people dressed in suits who said that technology was great, they didn't like it but they thought it was doing wonderful things to our society, They said that is was making people bring their work home with them by always being connected. Then when asked if they could live without it they said that they had just come from an open house and people had to turn their blackberry's and halfway through they were itching to turn them back on. For my second interview i talked to an ex-school teacher. When asked the same questions she said it had great intentions but it is turning our society into one that doesn't read the same books and is turning abbreaviations into a language. Texting and IMing is taking our communication skills. Yet we couldn't live without it. What a strange concidence.

For A good friend i interviewed a childhood friend named Aila because she has always had a different point of view on things, not in a bad way, she just sees things differently, so i thought it would be interesting to see what she had to say about this.

Her opinion about if it were bad or good was simply magnificant, she thought it was terrible, which is odd for a teenager of our generation. She thought that people were beginning to live for the future and forgetting what life was really about. Which is living for today because we never know what curveball tomorrow might throw. She thought that it was encouraging the world to engage in war and because it is pushing everyone further and further. Then when asked if she could go without it she gave mixed responses. She doesn't want to live with it but cant do anything else, everyone is connected so if she isn't then she is a social outcast and everyone has their limits. Sometimes people get too deep before they realize where they stand
