Improved Essays
Can one truly pinpoint the definition of technology? It is constantly evolving so the definition twenty years ago would not compare to it in this day in age.

From contacting people around the globe, to searching a question and getting an answer immediately, technology sure has altered many people’s lives.

I was never very technologically advanced growing up. I did not get my first phone until 7th grade (which today would be an outrage considering 10 year olds have phones).

Abud, he went on to becoming Michigan’s Teacher of the year for the year of 2013 due to his increase of technology in the classroom. Not only did his life change after that year, traveling to every school in the school district and even meeting the President of the United States, but he also changed my life. To this day I still think of him as one of the most influential people in my life due to his extensive knowledge and tech-savvy attitude.

Technology had changed me for the better ever since I enrolled in chemistry that year. It had changed the way I look at my education and the work that I have put in.

Mr. Abud had taught me that there are thousands of resources at our fingertips that most students are not familiar with. He taught me efficiency in both the classroom and life with simply a little device. Today, things like the proper way of emailing a professor or setting up a Google document with four other peers is simple due to my knowledge from that class. My way of learning has been molded and created into something that is much more complex and advanced than somebody who does not have that same education in technology and I can attest that those strengths had come from Mr. Abud. Without him, I would be lost in this technologically advanced world we live

Ray Bradbury really shows us this in his novel Fahrenheit 451. To start off, Bradbury warns society of the dangers in technology, and how it can take over anyone’s life by using the television.…

    Having gone to two different high schools I got to experience, firsthand, just how different two schools in the same county can be. Marvin ridge and Weddington High School are completely different in their appearance, their students and their academics. Marvin was the first high school that I attended. Its nickname was " Marvin Rich". The Ridge had a certain feeling to it when you stepped foot in its doors, almost as if the air was filled with exhaust from pricey cars and cologne from name brand stores.…
