Technology..........

Technology has improved the lives of many........ but just how much? There are now things such as computers, television, cellphones, and ipods. Sure, these things are fun and now a drug to children.


Techonology is now one of the biggest things in the world!! At home, in the car, walking, exercising, and even doing homework. Now we can go online and search up anything we desire. For instance, a student doing math homework doesn't know what 12 x 134 is. Instead of asking a parent or teaher to help who understand how to do multiplcation with pencil and paper, she goes online and searches the answer on google. Techonolgy has made an easier path in education.  Some people use their i pods, or computer to listen to music. I do that too, but sometimes i get so addicted to music that I listen to it while I'm doing homework. What's the big deal??? If you were to study while listening to music, your brain absorbs the information, and the music. That's why when you listen to a song all the time; you know the lyrics without looking it up. So while studying, and listening to music at the same time, your brain adsorbs everything and it gets mixed. The next day, during that test, even though you studied for three hours, you're still not going to remember anything at all because of the music that you were listening to. The same thing applies to homework, writing essays, Study Island, or even doing blog posts (even though I'm listening to music right now, guilty) One of the reasons people procastinate is because of technology, I do it too. One second, I'll be saying " Anthony!!!! Get off the computer I have to do homework!!!!"(jerk) Five seconds later I'll be on youtube looking up something stupid that amuses me. Tons of students do it. Then we end up not doing it at all.
