-Because it combines everything I would otherwise carry around into a compact device capable of doing so much
-I think its just easier to keep in contact with people through technology. Otherwise you would probably never really talk to them. And promoting yourself online is a very good way to get yourself out there and network with people from around the world.

What do you think are some limitations behind technology? 
-can get distracted easily
-i often feel glued to my screen and need to go for a walk outside. it reduces the amount of exercise i do because pretty much everything i need is on these devices
-the user
-A "screendoor" type feeling when interacting with digital interfaces. Basically not being able to fully unload your thoughts like pen and paper.
-Battery dies too quickly, end up relying on technology too much
-Face-to-face communication declining, people becoming anti-social
-It limits you to looking at a screen as opposed to face to face
-You need to charge it all the time
-stupid wifi
-if we rely on it too much, life is difficult when we suddenly don't have access to said technology
-Battery life, true social connection/real relationships
-I guess some limitations would be that, if you are a big social media user, you may rely on it too much and not actually go out to socialise, or you may find that you waste too much time procrastinating on it. Also if you lose or break your phone or laptop you could lose anything you havent backed up so its not 100% secure
-Battery life
-The social interactions that you saw in the past have begun to fade and people are not as open to have conversation with a random individual nowdays
-everything on the internet can be found
-My biggest issue with technology would be the disconnection with social interactions. There's something about some social media (not all) that I feel gives a bad representation of individuals.
-can lead to anti social behavior and procrastination
-Needs electricity to be used.
-Battery life! And it's never as good as talking to people face to face.
-You lose the type of person-to-person interaction and face-to-face experiences. You can't experience things as personally. Also technology will only be able to accomplish so much until new technological discoveries are made. I don't think the possibilites are endless - there's bound to be one day where technology has gone as far as it is realistically possible.
-battery life
-It can hinder your communication skills. Just because someone is confident online they could be really quiet in person as they rely on technology to bridge their communication with others.
-Privacy and security on the internet. When things are put on the cloud, they are there forever even if you "delete" them. Also, technology is making us dumber and lazier as information is available at our finger tips, readily accesible.
