When you think of children, what was the first thing that comes to mind? Reckless? Young? Naïve? Gullible? Into the Wild, by Jon Krakauer, is a book written about an extraordinary but childlike man who set out on a quest, looking for an adventure of being surrounded by nature. Chris McCandless, who the book is based off of, was a man of wonder. No one was ever certain about what he thought, how he felt, or why he went on this suicide journey. Was it because of his childlike recklessness? Or was it something deeper? Chris McCandless was reckless and along with that came passion, loneliness, and despair. So, can we really judge him when he made the decision to live in the most wild parts of the Alaskan state?…
As the days go by, things change. For now, technology is slowly replacing those labored hands that has controlled th8ings for many years. In the two essays, "From Learning as Torture to Learning as Fun" by Don Tapscott and "Makes Learning Fun" by Clifford Stoll, the two authors discuss the use of computers in education. Both authors discuss the positive and negative points that new age generation technology has had on today's society. One author leans toward the good in technology and the other author leans toward the bad in technology. While both essays express many strong points about the use of computers, I am leaning towards Clifford Stoll and agree with him. He clearly gives his thoughts of how technology…
I’ve realized technology is very helpful now days but in the classrooms it’s more distracting than anything else. As Michael J. Bugeja stated in “Facing the Facebook”, Academics assessing learning outcomes often discover that technology is as much a distraction in the classroom as a tool. I catch myself checking my phone in class every now and then but when I do I miss out on what the instructor is teaching. Technology is a great tool for us to learn and gather information but when you put technology in the classroom it becomes more distracting than helpful.…

After reading those articles, through my experiences in college, I was able to vividly retrospect my behaviors and results from using or not using technology. When I first joined college, my friends and I had new laptops carrying around to school taking note with them. Due to ban laptop policy in high school, I was so pleased that I got to look at my computer screen and write down what professor said. Sometimes, I stray out from the lecture and spent time doing other unnecessary activity, but I did not think that it was because of my laptop. Even if I don’t have my laptop around me, sometimes I zone out thinking about something else. I believe that regardless of using technology devices, it is my own or students’ responsibility to manage and pay attention in any…
While Richtel stated that schools shouldn’t rush into using technology so soon, but should have educators focus more on teaching students the old fashioned way, including pen and paper; Sweeney wrote about how it is beneficial to students that they do use technology since they are already used to the different programs out there. Many people think that technology in the classroom is a great way for students to succeed, but technology can hinder a student’s work ethic and they can become lazy.…

Essentially, it has helped me become a better student in school. It has given me access to priceless information on the Internet, and my computer allows me to type up my school work. Moreover, I have created a virtual life for myself through countless social networking sites, where I am able to share moments with my friends. It is not only amusing; but, it is relaxing to occasionally move away from the real world. Technology is even beneficial for my family as my father is able to work from a laptop at home; my mother can speak with those across the world using a cellular phone; and my siblings can be entertained through video game consoles. In many ways, technology has not only changed life for me, but, for my friends and family…
Technology is ever-changing in today’s day and age and has affected us individually, and as a society either negatively or positively depending on the perspective. Technology has negatively impacted me in three specific ways. The first way technology has impacted my life caused a decrease in the number of face-to-face interactions I have daily. With technology assisting or occupying the majority of our day, the conversations we participate in daily are more often limited to a text or phone call. The second way technology has affected my life has caused an increase in the amount of bullying found online among students. With social media being the new façade for students to anonymously pick on one another, there’s been a noticeable increase in physical violence in schools, as well as a soaring statistic in pre-teen and teen suicides. The third and final way technology has negatively impacted my life caused less personal thinking in my daily routine. A phone, for example, has Internet connection, a calculator, a dictionary, a thesaurus and multiple other assistive apps to help simplify our daily tasks.…
Everyone has reasons why technology is distracting. While I understand why some people presume technology is a distraction, but, for me, it is not a distraction, yet a way to booster one’s knowledge for educational purposes. Technology could help me learn more, make an important calls if necessary, and help with research. First, technology helps me to sharpen my vocabulary when I am writing essays and research papers, making them sound more mature. For instance, when I had written my final essay for ENC 0025 class, I could not find an appropriate word to replace “be” while I was writing, so my iPhone came in handy, searching for replacements and found that “be” could shift into “become.” As a result, I received a five out of six for my…
