Do you feel fascinating and fantastic when facing new technology? Why and why no? No, I don't feel facinating when I see a nre technology. Maybe years ago I was suprising with some exibhition of thecnology. But, nowadays, I am so accustomed than there are few things that suprise me. I remember my first computer. It has a disk drive and it was slow bat I was facinate. After, I bought another, faster and better eith disk drive too, and I was happy. With this I discovered excel, word, internet... More o less at this tme, I got my first camara figital. I could see the pistures in the computer! With this I was really fascinante. But now, I have an amazing laptop, a very good digital camara an other technoloy device. But I don't fell "fascinante". I supose that is because all this device are improvement, but in fact they aren't something new. On the other hand, when I saw a documentary about scientific progress such as a new robot, I only think: "as in the films". With all science fiction films, there are few technology that we don't see before in a film that in the ours hands. And I believe that this reduce our capacity of surprising.

No, I am not fascinated when I come across new technology.  Maybe I was, years ago, at a technology exhibition. But nowadays, I am so accustomed to it that there are few things that surprise me.  I remember my first computer.  I had a disc drive and it was slow, but I was fascinated.  Later, I bought another, faster and better one that also had a disc drive, and I was happy with it.  On it I learned excel, word and how to use the Internet.

Around this time, I got my first digital camera.  I was able to view the pictures on the computer!  I was really fascinated by this! Now, I have an amazing laptop, a very good digital camera and other technological devices.  However, I don't feel fascinated.  I suppose it's because all of them are improvements, but in fact they aren't something new.

On the other hand, when I watch documentaries about scientific progress such as robots, I only think "Like in the movies".There is little technology that we have already seen in Scifi movies that we haven't already seen in real life/on the shelves. I believe that this reduces our capacity to be surprised.
