Journal 3

In class this week we talked about how technology is not longer a tool but our enviorment. In todays world technology has become an integrated part of everday life. Personally I see my cell phone and laptop as a tool that has become a large focus in my world.
In the reading, Borgmann wants there to be a balance between information and reality. Borgmann says this can only be achieved when reality disappears and we only have information. There are three main types of information: Natural, cultural and information as reality. Natural information is information about reality and cultural information information about or for reality. Borgmann believes the third type on information, information as reality will eventually eradicate cultural and natural information.
