In my personal opinion‚ yes‚ technology is replacing human contact. I have many friends that are high school teachers and they are being trained on how to teach online courses. While this makes sense for college students‚ I don’t think online courses are the proper way to go with high school students.

Technology can be a very horrible thing to give to a child or teen in some cases if they have not showed themselves responsible enough at the house. Like if they are always on it in the
