My Artwork + Poem Theme a.k.a (My 150-200 words account) a.k.a Stage 1: Explain

 I have decided to base my artwork and poem on how modern technology (such as handphones,) have become indispensable.

One of my references, http://teenink.com/opinion/social_issues_civics/article/166619/How-Technology-Affects-Us/, says that


"Everyone has seen the moody, withdrawn kid with music blasting out of his white earbuds, or the girl rapidly texting on her phone. The youth of today are constantly immersed in technological advancements that promote nonstop communication and instant gratification, whether through cell phones, gaming systems, laptops, or MP3 players. But are these technological advancements a good thing? I believe that the growth of technology has negatively influenced the social interactions of today's youth because it isolates individuals from reality, hinders communication, and perpetuates the concept of immediate ­satisfaction."


In the past, a phone was a phone. It was mostly used for communication. However, in modern life, it is more of an entertainment device than a means of communication. While that may be a good thing, it "it isolates individuals from reality, hinders communication, and perpetuates the concept of immediate ­satisfaction."
