Post 2






This document is a picture. More precisely, it's a touched-up photograph from a webpage. It deals with the upside of new technologies because we can make out in the background the suit and the tie of a man who is stretching out his hand forward and there are a lot of symbols and appliances flying above it.

On the one hand, the picture is composed of a blue green planet which is in the centre and surrunded by the three most important electronic devices of new technologies : a computer, a tablet and a smartphone. On the other hand, we notice a connection diagram between the icons, the devices and the globe. In order to go further, the different kinds of symbols are, for instance, a graph, a cloud, a plane, human holograms but also some emblems like the euro, the dollar, that of facebook and so on.

The author clearly wants to show the advantages of new technologies, draws the attention to the many possibilities that the Internet and the new technology make available to us. It aims to make us sensitive to the opportunity to share our knowledge around the world, to take advantage of the others' experiences, to access the social network, the world's information, the news, the arts such as music, movies, painting, as well as medical treatments or on-line gaming and shopping.

I feel concerned by this idea of progress because my generation was born with it and is growing up with these new technologies. They are in our daily lives and indeed, I'm using it to do my homework. Therefore, I personally think that there are really plenty of benefits even though the downside exists too but we have to grasp this chance which enables us to be open to the world.

Thus, don't forget to enjoy it (enthusiastically but cautiously!)
