Taking a photograph on a camera use to be one of the most magical thing that gave us memories that we could hold onto forever. The pictures that were taken, no matter the quality was never changed in anyway.As the years have gone by and technology has increased tremendously there has been new sites where photos could be added online such as MySpace and Facebook and today Instagram where the photographs are taken and made into extravagant pictures for millions to see. I think with Instagram you are able to see more photographs in all aspects and areas such as: pictures with friends, food, places, animals, etc. We are able to see more photographs in a day with an app than we were before Instagram was ever made. Instagram’s also takes pictures that you take and allows the picture to be altered. The color can change, you can cut something out, photo shop something into it. Instagram takes the simplicity of a photograph and makes it into a complex picture where hundreds and thousands of people are subjected to it. When you take a photograph it is more authentic and true to what the moment was. A photograph is able to show simplicity and a clam about the picture itself.

What is the role of collaboration in your day-to-day experience as a student?Which technologies do you rely upon for your school work? Which ones do you rely on for your personal life? Is there any overlap? What do you think a “vision of students” today will be in 8 more years?Your post should be around 250 words.

I think the message from the youtube video, A Vision of Students Today, absolutely remains true to this day. I think that students and even adults are using technology more in their daily lives. I think that the professors are using more articles, websites, apps online rather than the original textbooks. I think that students rely on technology for everything that they do, I know I do. With that being said, I rely on my computer 100 percent to complete all of my school work. If I did not have my computer, my work would never get completed. I also rely on my phone to complete some of my school work, such as emails that my professors send out or to get on blackboard. I also rely on my computer and my phone both for my personal life, without either device I would be disconnected from the world. My social media, texts messages, and emails are all apart of my daily life. There is an overlap with my devices that I rely on in my personal life as well as to complete my school work.  I use both my computer and my phone everyday to accomplish tasks for school and to get news about the world and my friends. In eight years I think that the world will be completely technological. Books will be gone, any information that will be needed will be online, in an app, or other creative ways. I think that the world will keep growing with technology and will come up with more advance materials as the years progress.
