Technology. That is all that people seem to rely on these days. Everyone has their phone out and everything has to be typed and turned in online. At the end of 1999, people were worried about losing everything because everything on computers was stored based on the last two digits of that year. People would not have worried as much if technology hadn’t run their lives. This does not mean that technology is a bad thing, it is really an outstanding invention. People can communicate with people halfway around the world in seconds because of technology! However, people, or more specifically students rely on their peers and technology for answers so that they don't have to rely on their own thoughts or ideas to gain the outcomes they wish to achieve. …show more content…

I didn’t do the homework. Can I copy your answers? I don’t know where to find the answer in the textbook, I’ll just Google it.” Before the internet, students had to go to a library and look for the answers. Now, there is the internet and our parents who are so willing to help. Now, “we are...programmed to someone giving us the answers.” With the easiness to find answers, students now see to be more willing to ask for help. However, asking for help is more like asking for the answer. However, being given the answers isn’t a bad thing. A student might not understand something and the only way to help them is to give them the answer. A teacher or parent doesn’t need to do all of the work, but if being given the answer, as long as the student is walked through the process, is an amazing thing. If more students start to understand the topic, scores go up and more students who get into college will graduate. As long as you start working on things you don’t understand instead of always Googling the answers, you will start to understand the topic more. Even if you still don’t understand the topic, you will be able to think for yourself and you will be able to think through tough

al.). Whether we like it or not, technology is here, and here to stay, so it is imperative that students are allowed to use it freely in the classroom, “78 percent of students believe the internet helps them with school work” (Lenhart, et. al.) indicating that students are not simply using the internet for their personal pleasure, they are using it to better themselves in their education. Technology is here, and here to stay, students everywhere are using it, and for even less than half of the schools in the United states to believe that it is causing their students to be in a “cave”, it would give those students an unfair disadvantage in life after high school because they would lack the skills necessary in the current work force.

In the article “How Google, Wikipedia Have Changed Our Lives—For Better and Worse” by Jennifer Woodard Maderazoshe talks about how the internet has affected our learning process. Research back then meant going to the library, getting a book and reading it until you found what you were looking for. Researching something now doesn’t take as much, all you need is a smartphone or computer to look up what you need, you don’t even need to leave the building. Learning back then was based on one’s knowledge within a classroom with a teacher. Now, learning is done with technology most of the time and questioned are answered by the internet instead of by the teacher.

Technology has become one of the most influential and useful tools of our time. Technology has made certain tasks in our daily lives easier. When it comes to the topic of Technology in Schools, most students will agree that it is a must to have and use technology in schools. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question of, “Is Technology good for students and focus?” While some are convinced that it does help students learn and achieve, other who are older believe that it makes students lazy and that they cannot focus.

We have no Concealment Everyone is Watching Freedom of Speech is when anyone has the right to express themselves without censorship, people trying not to stop you, and when the government restraints our privileges. Anyone could say whatever they have in their mind on social medias. Social media self-expression is better, because one gets to release his or her stress online rather than having their thoughts in a journal where no one would know what is going in their mind when they are contemplating on life. The government doesn't care how we express ourselves and they should have their limits of what a real threat is. The government should pry on someone's social networks when the person is being too specific about how they are going to harass

In our society, we can see all of these matters, some more than others but they are all present. With any technology people can overly use it and abuse it. People have been abusing technology for years, some people might call it progress but I call it abuse, especially when it ends up hurting innocent people for instance; any technology that is used in wars. Technology is a privilege, not a right but, some people don't seem to understand that and do monstrous things for example; stealing credit card information, hacking into others computers, making bombs and so on and so forth.

When teachers assign homework, it either doesn’t get finished or nothing is taught from it. I know this because there have been several occasions where this has happened to me. For example, my 4th-period teacher assigned homework and I didn’t know how to do it so I and my friend just copied someone's answers. Nobody is learning from just copying the answers.

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.

In conclusion, technology can have negative impacts on today’s people in many ways. It is harmful to people’s well-being, makes people lose physical connections with those around them, and it makes students disregard their work. Technology is everywhere in today’s society.

Many critics may argue and say that technology in education is dangerous. It can waste a students’ time by getting him or her sidetracked by distractions they find online. However when students avoid technology in education, they have to spend long hours, days, maybe even weeks searching for certain information in various different books. Students that really want to learn will force discipline upon themselves. Even if students didn’t use technology, anything could easily distract them when studying.

According to John Bishop, “School and homework show students the important life lessons, such as how to read and communicate with others, that they will use as an adult.” Students can learn how important planning, staying organized and taking action is just from doing homework. Homework gives the students an opportunity to learn how to work independently. Although I understand that assigning homework is not beneficial at times, I still believe that assigning homework can teach students many skills and even help teachers. Assigning homework to students is constructive, therefore teachers should assign homework because it allows students to gain responsibility, time-management, perseverance, self-esteem, homework also gives students a chance to review the class material, and it also helps teachers determine how well the lessons and materials are being understood by their students.
