    What I found puzzling was that, many students don't view the advancement in technology as an advantage to boost their education, but often technology sidetracks them without even knowing it. For example, students can do so much more with education now due to the promotion of technology we have, but sometimes advancing means distractions such as social media. Although technology can be good and bad I think it mainly depends on how you use and manage…

    Technology has made these resources so easily available to me, and I want to take advantage of them so I can learn about topics that I want to, and educate myself further outside of the classroom. When I wanted to learn how to cook and bake more foods, I could have looked through the dozens of cookbooks that our family owns, but that would take hours. Instead, I looked online for recipes that are easy to follow, and I found one I could try within ten minutes. Not only can technology provide information on academic subjects, but also in everyday life. This is extremely useful for me because I could spend hours looking through cookbooks, trying to decipher the writing in it, and then cook it.…

    Mark Bauerlein, author of The Dumbest Generation, argues in his controversial novel that America's rapidly developing technology and our growing dependence on it is destroying the minds of our youth. He alleges that today’s youth are losing the ability to think, as we slowly rely more and more on the comforts of computerized algorithms to think for ourselves.

It is an obvious allegation that technology has a great deal of influence on the lives of students.…
