In technophilia by Kevin Kelley he touches on the point that most teens can not be separated from their phones, and if they do they legit can become physically sick and have withdrawals like any other addiction would bring. Kelley says “ Our identity with technology runs deep, to our core.” (Kelley 1). Kelley and Carr have similar ideas when it comes to technology and the internet. Not only are they both considered about our love for the internet they are both worried about artificial intelligence. Carr believes that AI could possibly take over, Kelley said “ I don’t worry about computers getting smarter I worry about humans getting dumber.”
Page 2: In this passage, Kelley talks about his lack of knowledge for cars. How growing up being a boy and not knowing how to tell the differences between car brands and styles. Once he went to go look at antique cars he was fascinated and intrigued by the car features. Kelley mentioned how the cars “snagged his soul” as he walked by them which was interesting.
PG2
Kelley speaks about his shortage of knowledge for cars. In dives into his youth and how this shaped him not knowing the small details of cars like different models and ect. Kelley once went to a antique car show and was shown the love that people have for cars .
PG3 Kelley speaks on how people are so in love with machines that they even have a day to celebrate them. The author also talks about how our technophilia might be our biophilia in disguise, this makes me question how strong of a anchor technophilia is.
PG4 Kelley dives into his thoughts abouts dams in nature. He brings up the idea the dams bring pros and cons to its ecosystem. I agree with Kelley because some dams like the Hoover Dam are known as a tourist attraction but also have negative impacts on society.
PG5 Kelley talks about his love for the internet. Kelley introduces an MIT sociologist named Sherry Turkle “calls a particular specimen of technology that is revered by an individual an ‘evocative object’. Turkle is saying that humans are driven by emotion that’s caused when we attain certain technology. I agree with this but also disagree because I don’t love my phone in particular I love what it can do for me.
