Life without Technologies

   We all know that technology is the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means and their interrelation with life, society, and the environment, drawing upon such subjects as industrial arts, engineering, applied science, and pure science. 

But what if, one day technology exhaust? Can we still live?

        I have always wondered how life would be without the massive technological inventions of today. Perhaps everyone wonders the same thing. We are in the 21st century! Yeah, I am supposed to embrace technology, it's something that is inborn, something that I found and cannot imagine my life without. But what would I do without this precious gift? Life back in the day would be a nightmare. Ideally, much of the paper will focus on how life would be without technology by basing the argument on all spheres of life.

       Our everyday life has changed due to the advent of technology. It has become faster, dynamic and more comfortable. It is difficult to imagine our life without the use of technology. I think many of you would agree that we are relying upon our smartphones and tablets as our sole mean of communication with the rest of the world. Technology influences all aspects of our life. However, we have become less social in person. On the one hand, technology enriches our lives but on the other hand, we have become over-reliant on technology so much so that we cannot even imagine living without it.

      Nowadays, people cannot live without the any means of communication -- laptops, smartphones, or tablets. Besides, what would become of our world if all technological advances were gone? I think that our lives would be very different. People would turn to reading books because it would be the one of the only sources of knowledge. We would have to make an appointment in advance with no possibility of canceling it on short notice. We would not be overwhelmed by the flow of information from television or the Internet; we would get it only from newspapers. Yes, we can live our lives but as i said earlier it would be very different or maybe our lives would be more difficult but certainly not worse.

   The current world is characterized by technological advancement and digital migration. Technology plays an important role in making the society a better place; therefore, I cannot imagine myself living without technology. Technology takes various forms and 96% of the people in the US use it daily. It has changed the way I visualize things globally since I have enhanced interaction with people from various parts of the world. However, I have realized that some regions are still lagging behind that it would be a dream to have a smartphone. I cannot imagine how awful life would be without any of these technological advances; the mere thought of spending an entire day without a mobile phone is more than enough to give me nervous breakdown. 

 There are so many things that we have done mostly because of technologies, so we shouldn't just look at it bad sides or bad effects that it caused. 

"Video Blog"

Are you bored? Are you tired of those movies you watched over and over again? Do you want something fun to do? Well, it's the right time to watched or  make a Vlog!

But first, let me define what is a vlog:

A video blog usually shortened to vlog, is a form of blog for which the medium is video and is a form of web television. Vlog entries combine embedded video with supporting text, images, and other metadata. 

                                            

The vlog category is popular on Youtube. 

You must have those equipments for vlogging:

                                             

      -Camera/Phone/Some gadgets that is easy to use or handle.

       You can't vlog without a camera, obviously.

                                                     

     -Lights/Natural lighting 

      You can make the best use of lighting as you can-from windows/sunlight even in ring lights. 

                                                 

                                             

    -Microphone/(If you don't have mcphones, just raise your voice to be heard by the viewers).

     There's a difference in sound quality if you use the built in audio in camera than external mic.

                                              

    -Simple or Neat background

     There's an appeal with a unique background because it catches the attention of the viewer.

                                               

                                                 

   -Laptop/Computer

    You are going to need a computer to edit footages on.

                                                 

   -Editing Softwares

    If you don't edit, you'll lose the professional feel of your video.

                            

                                                 

How to start a vlog:

Step 1: Start with a good vlogging camera

            You can start with any device that has ability to record a video such smartphone, tablet                         or webcam of your laptop.

Step 2: Create a Youtube Channel

            You have to create an account to publish your videos.

Step 3: Film a vlog

            If you don't know what to vlog about, you can film what you do everyday, record your                          hobbies, what's on your mind, do some challenges or anything else.

Step 4: Edit your vlog

            To make your vlog more professional, you should edit the videos you have recorded and cut                out anything you don't want to be in the vlog.

Step 5: Upload your vlog to Youtube

            Once your vlog is all done it's time to upload it to Youtube.

Step 6: Promote your Videos/Channel

            When your vlog is uploaded you should promote it so more people are able to watch your                    videos.

Step 7: Keep Going

            Your vlog will probably not have thousands of views at first, but don't let that stop you.

Step 8: Monetize 

            Once you gain more views and subscribers it's time to make some money of your vlogs.                      Apply to the Youtube Partnership Program so you can start earning money.
