How Has Technology Changed Over The Years

It seems to me that throughout the years of education, has brought to the attention that technology has made people smarter. I became interested in the idea of how much has significantly changed over the years. In the 1960’s, American people were not able to be taught enough information because the school system was lacking in technological advances. In order to pick up a book to study for a test had to be picked up at a local public library. Schools back then did not include libraries for students to check out books and encyclopedias costed money. It wasn’t until I sat down with my 67- year -old grandma to find out this information. From her growing up in a rural part of Kansas to the city life I grew up in today, will allow me to expand on

Back in the 60’s, the system lacked technology and everyone seemed to be more focused and got better grades. Now, almost every test and homework assignment are online and peoples grades seem to look a little different. Since the school system is always going to be changing, there will come a time where everything will be taught with technology. According to Levin, “nearly all students say they are required to use the internet to complete homework assignments outside of school (96.5 percent)” (Levin). This shows that nearly every student is using some sort of technological device in order to do their homework, which means that years in the upcoming future will hold less and less written homework assignments. In an overall conclusion, technology is rapidly changing and educators worry that it will be replaced by human

There are very little distinctions between people who were born back in the 1960’s then people born in the 2000’s. “I’m sure I still enjoyed high school as much as you did Maddie because we still have some things in common” (Hartman, n.p.). When enrolling in classes, students still had to meet with their assigned counselors who formed their schedules for them. The basic classes that are still required today consist of mathematics, science, history, and english. For the required classes, class sizes relatively remained the same. In my high school there could not be more than 30 people in a class at a time because it was consisted of being full. “I would say that there was about 20 people in each of my classes as well” (Hartman, n.p.) Overtime, the public school educational system has become more intense. There are now multiple teachers for different kinds of classes including teaching assistants, or people just listening in on the class. The United States federal government has now issued less regulations and strict laws in what people can and can’t do while being in school. This emphasizes the amount of educational differences that we see today compared throughout the time of the
