in todays society we have become very dependant on technology. i believe this is because it is readily available to us at a young age. by the age of three a typical child will know how to turn the computer on and start a program whether it be a cd-rom game or a game already on the computer, but what does this tell us by the time these children grow up to be adults not only will they know how to use a computer but they may lack necessary life skills. some of these skills i have seen begin to lack not only in children and teens younger than myself but in people my own age as well we begin to lack communication skills when we speak to people face to face. we don't know how to express ourselves for some it becomes harder and harder the older they get because they become more and more dependant on technology. Don't get me wrong in what i'm saying in no way is technology a bad thing if i thought that was the case i would not be sitting here on a computer typing this but i do believe in today society we are lacking skills once learned by do simple everyday tasks.



I think that computer skills are a major life skill. There are many examples of times int he workforce where computer skills are crucial to the sucess of a company.

I agree with the above opinion.
Here in Japan, kids can't use computers. So, I'm not sure what "we" the blog is referring to... must be kids in America? Half my students are pretty computer-illiterate... and I work at a junior college!!
Their 懈怠、(cell phones) though, I don't know if they could "live" without them.
Probably is kids in America.
I met a Japanese man about a month ago at a conference. He said that he had never even seen a TV when he first came to the US. I'm not sure if his homeland was in a rural area or if this was typical, but it was quite different from what I expected Japan to be like.

That certainly isn't typical. Watching TV is a pretty popular pastime in this country, especially among the younger generation. However, never having used a computer wouldn't be as unusual. Many of my students (age 18-20) say they only use a computer once each week, and that's in their computer class. Most of them can barely type, and they're useless as far as how to actually use programs. I was shocked to discover how computer illiterate so much of the Japanese population is when I first came here.
