Topic/Theme:
How technology effects the daily lives of people .
Story Summary:
Many people would disagree with my opinion of technology because they are already stuck in the trend . Me , I've had a cell phone for maybe a month or two when I was younger , & I do not see the point , which would be why I don't posses one right now . I don't believe every day people should be allowed to use most technology , due to the fact that most are not capable of using it correctly . Many people have been harassed , " cyber bullied " , & usually hurt through the internet . There has been times where on social networks , people are made fun of , such as someone who dislikes them , created a myspace or facebook in their name , talking badly about them . Some people also don't know how to use the internet properly because they will expose themselves or others , &/or start rumors , which later on in life , comes back to them since many jobs & colleges do background checks now . Not only have people been hurt emotionally , by texting or talking on the phone while driving , the accident rates have sky rocketed . On top of that , I know plenty of people who pretend they're listening while paying attention to something like texting or the computer . Also , many people have lost social skills because they are so used to saying what they want on the internet , even asking people out or finding a mate , has been done through technology . Since people think using technology to socialize is easier , they don't know exactly how to act in person because they aren't use to it anymore . Most people's idea now of socializing or being with friends is by being in chats , on social websites , texting , or IM . No one seems to know how to go out & do something with their lives anymore because like I say , so many people are already consumed by technology . Examples like the ones I have given , are what makes me believe that technology should only be available to those who know what they're doing , or need it for a good reason . Maybe doctors , those who work in the medical field , & scientists are the ONLY intelligent people in this world , since they know how to use technology for other people's advantages .
What images relate to this story that you want to capture?
Car accidents from technology , computers , cell phones , ipods , logos from famous social networks , conversations where someone gets hurt , celebrities that have obtained rumors created about them , doctors , scientists , etc .
Who are the characters for this story? Identify potential people you could interview and
what those people will add to the story.
The people who use technology daily , for the right or wrong reasons . Which is almost everyone who can be put into one group or another . I can interview different age groups just to get their opinion on how much technology should be used , for what , & what they think about technology hurting people physically & emotionally . I'd also like to know if they've ever purposely hurt someone through technology & if they've been hurt through it too .
What sounds do you hear when thinking about this story?
Cell phones , dial tones , crashing , maybe music .
What questions will be raised by your story? Or, what traditions will be documented?
I'm thinking a lot of people will ask me why I despise technology so much , & what technology do I use / why . Maybe they will want to know how much exactly the accident rates have gone up , or what's the rate of technology used now compared to the past .
Why will this story be interesting to others?

Why will this story be interesting to others?
This story might be interesting to others because I am one of the only people who has this opinion . On top of that , everyone should be pretty familiar to this subject & understand what I'm talking about . For all I know , I could change someone's opinion & maybe they'd want to give me a chance to do that . But , I doubt it .
