In my Tv& News production class we watched a movie called "Digital Nation". I felt that this video was very interesting in taking a look at the world around us. Even though many of people my age just accept all the technology around us. But, in this video m generation was dubbed the "dumbest generation", this is because my generation no longer really needs to remember facts and dates because we can easily pull out our mobile devices that have Internet access and find out information in no time. But, I say that if the technology is there why not use it? I feel that the idea of knowledge now isn't memorization rather it is application. Which means it isn't whether or not you can memorize everything but if you can apply that information to the problem that needs to be solved.
Technology has changed the workplace too. Now people can work for anywhere, whether they are in the same building, or at home or anywhere. Now they have online programs that people can have online meetings either with web cams or online avatar and headsets. So, it has really helped the spreading of ideas throughout a business. You can have a meeting with someone from across the world in a matter of moments.
The other big factor that the digital revolution has affected is military. The military is actually is to treat PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) which many soldiers suffer from after going to war and when they are trying to adjust back to everyday life. Also, the technology that is use in combat has changed. The biggest change is with what they call predator drones, which are unmanned planes which can be used for radar screening and bombings. This really takes the danger out of war for one side of the conflict.
