Digital Native Or Digital Immigrant?
I am a digital native. I know i am because my phone is always in my hands. I feel stressed when i do not have my phone. I love to text, i love to go on facebook and instagram. I have to check my newsfeed at least every 30 minutes. I think being a digital native impacts me in both positive and negative ways. First, it impacts me positively because i can use my knowledge the i have to use it when its needed. For an example i know a lot of websites that can benefit me when i need to look for inexpensive clothes and shoes. Also, i know how to identify reliable sources and unreliable sources.
Reflections on New York CIty
"New York is full of opportunity, culture, chaos, love and money" I agree with this statement made by a stranger because it is true to me. New York contains many helpful services. Also, not only does it have many helpful opportunities. You can come to New York with nothing, but if you strive and work hard you will eventually find the resources and help you need to start building something.
"New York is my home and full of diversity" I agree with this statement made by a stranger because new york has a bunch of different people of different races, and that have different personalities. I consider new york my home because I was born in raised in New York City and i've never traveled out side of New York State.
"New York will chew you up and spit you out" I agree with this statement made by a stranger because it is true. Most of the time you will often hear New York is a city of tough love. There are thousands of homeless people, thousands of unemployed people, and much more people battling hardships. I think of this scenario like its like a train once you hop on you better hold on so you do not fall off or you can wait for the next train and try to get on. Comparing this to a train helps me think about the people who are in the city and who are not struggling and are ambitious and are willing to help. I feel like that ambitiousness can be contagious (like hop on the train ) and for the struggling person to stay ambitious (like holding on), if you don't get to talk to some one theres always another chance (like waiting for the next train).
