Technology

I just finished reading all of the articles and all I can say is, "Wow!" It's amazing to see how far technology is come and even where it is headed but it is also scary to see how much we have become reliant on the same technology to function in even the most basic tasks of day to day living. It's a double-edge sword because you need to use the most current means of technology to do certain daily tasks but then they can be addictions like checking your Facebook account 10 times a day. Especially if you have a smartphone and can access it from downloading an App. Not to mention the down side of posting things that you might regret later or the information that you will let others access. People have to start developing a more reasonable and healthy approach to how they handle technology. Classes or courses should be made available to younger kids and even adults on what things are probably not the best to post on the internet and why.

I guess it would be important for everyone to understand that nothing is private once it is posted on the internet. That actually talking to someone on the phone or face to face shouldn't always be replaced by a Facebook post or text message. Learning in the classroom should be learning not memorizing. That if i'm gonna make the effort to come to a class and pay for it I want the teacher to have at least gone through the effort of preparing a great lecture so I can get the best bank for my buck.

Great articles.
