    We live in an era where a myriad of gadgets and gizmos are available for our everyday convenience. A time where people are willing to line up outside of an Apple store for a $750 phone or a group of distraught adults that are ready to murder one another in a Walmart for the latest electronics their children want for Christmas; is this the ideal use for high technology? Kids nowadays will have these high technologies to either benefit their learning experience or have their education meet its demise. Even though high technology is a tool that’s able saves us time and allows us to be more efficient with our workload, I believe that the education received through technology does not compare to the one received through rigorous work or hours of reading material.…

But I am not sure I agree. I know many teenagers who can download movies, post to Facebook, find a YouTube video, and more, but the minute they need to learn something there is a lack of knowledge. Am I wrong here? What would the author of the textbook say? Explain.…
