Is your technology…

A Being vs a Thing

A Friend vs. Enemy (trust vs mistrust)
Productive vs. Time-wasting
Stable vs. Changing relationship
Ordered vs Chaotic
Educator/Teacher vs. Learner
Overall positive vs negative
Entertaining vs. Unengaging
Safe vs. Risky

1. Pick FOUR of these and write 2-3 sentences for each about which side you agree with (or neither) and why.
2. Also, identify and briefly describe a metaphor (my phone is an assistant, a friend, a library) that best captures the way in which you relate to your phone.
