Disagreement (article 5)

I disagree slightly with some of the issues that are raised in this article as i don't agree with the fact that all traditional methods of communication and inetraction with technology have completely died out. I think traditional methods are still around there are just new ones developing on top of them. For example the article talks about how now people have mobile phones with cameras on they can take pictures on their phones and then store pictures in an album on their moile or transfer them onto a folder on their computer, Photo albums are no longer really used. I disagree with this as i still think that peolple have photo albums i know i like to print photos off from my camera or computer and put them in a photo album or in a frame.I think it is a more reliable way of knowing that your photographs are safe. If your photographs are just kept on your mobile you could loose them if you loose or brake your mobile phone. The same as if a computer crashes and you can loose them off their aswell. So although new technology is very sufficient in that it is easier to share and pass around photographs or music etc i dont necessarily think it can be as reliable as old methods can be.

The same for blogging which is also mentioned i disagree with this too as i think not everybody would rather blog on the internet about their latest activity and feelings for everybody to see rather than writing in a diary. A diary to me seems more personal and is also easier to carry around with you rather than carrying a computer around with you. Say for example if you went on holiday and wanted to talk about what you did each dy.
