VIDEO REFLECTION 1 DOMINANCE OF THE TECHNOLOGY IN OUR WORLD



        Our life area is full of all sorts of technological things-television,computer,cell phone,video player and any other things like these.It is true that they  provide for us many facilities to maintain our lifes.We save time and effort  by using them,but are we aware of detriments  that are derived from technology?

        I think  most of the people know these damages,but they want to ignore them because technological devices make their life easier than the past.First of all,the cell-phone..This device is the most common communication way of our lives. However, it generates  radiation which is damaging our brains.Experts say that people should make a telephone call at most for a five minutes.On the contrary,we don’t remove this device from us for a moment.Secondly,television..My mother always says that we had had a talk more  each other before this device(television) was invented.I agree with  her.We are sitting in front of TV and do nothing but  watching it.Moreover,little children are staying with us and exposed to all of its damaging rays.In addition to these,there is also a computer craziness among today’s people.They are always carrying their computers with them as if they could not live without these devices.Finally,all of the materials in our house such as,washing machine,refrigerator,dishwasher and the other things that we use in our daily lives work with electricity,so when there is a power-cut our life stops and we cannot do anything.We are dependent on these devices without being aware of.                As a result,we must immediately stop this life style.Unless we can do this we have neither a body nor a place to live.


                                



         This video is mainly about the harmful environmental effects of technology. It impressed me so much because I realized that how much new innovations destroy both us and our environment .Before these innovations showed up we had a cleaner and more natural environment. There was no news on newspapers or radio reporting that many fish yesterday were washed up onto a shore and the reason why they died was unknown. However, today’s newspapers are full of these types of news .Actually; technology also damages our fruits and vegetables. The shapes and sizes of our products were different in the days of old than now. I am so sorry to say that the ones who cause all of this badness are human beings. In other words we are destroying ourselves, but we are not aware of this and we keep doing whatever we want. If we understand what we did one day I hope it would not be too late.



         

























ERROR CORRECTION


 1. When I first heard that I had been accepted to Middle East Technical Unıversity,I was disappointed,because I did not like Ankara as a city.However my opinion has changed dramatically over time,because Middle East Technical Unıversity is a really different world in Ankara. 2. It has been only one month since I came here,but I got used to be in this environment. Because(?), first of all, people from all  ages respect to each other here. 3. I love Ankara, my dormitory, my new friends and my department,I am content with everything which belongs to METU. 4. If someone wants to walk , he or she can go and walk and it is a nice place to go and meet with my friends 5. We can easily see this by watching TV,surfing on the internet or maybe just looking around us because there are many people who are graduated from different kinds of universities but they're not even able to know what's going on around them or they don't even try to find good ways to improve the countries that they live in.
