Ted.com Amber Case: We Are All Cyborgs

     Everyone is slowly getting addicted to technology. Being your computer or cell phone, we can't live without that source. We seem to rely mostly on computers and cell phones because that is the fastest way to connect to the media (using Twitter or Facebook). We start presenting ourselves in different ways. For example, we might appear to be someone we're not online, but in real life we're someone totally different. I believe adolescents are bound to commit this the most because they're so excited about something new. They're in a part of their life where they might get judged the most or feel sad because they think being different is a bad thing so they start presenting themselves to get other peoples' attention. This is a bad thing because it can be dangerous. There are predators out there that look for innocent young children. Adolescents tend to be more gullible and put specific information online then get caught by someone. Everyone should pay attention to any information they put online because anyone can get hold of it.
