Technology Has Changed Over The Last 20 Years

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. Whether twenty years ago or today, it still impacts people in a way in which is unexplainable. 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). My first account on a computer was my school email being in the sixth grade- never having that oh-so precious AIM account middle schoolers boasted about. And, I did not have unlimited

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

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.…

    The first time I had a phone I was in elementary school, and had it for about 2 years. Then as life moved on, and events took place, I was not allowed to have one, and did not have one for almost two years. When I was in fourth or fifth grade I was allowed to have another one and kept it until the sixth grade. My dog had torn it apart, and because of financial reasons, there was only one phone in the house, between three people, and it was a old slide up phone. Not a touch screen…

    His science teacher was a very enthusiastic man who loved to teach children about the wonders of science and taught the curriculum well, but also made it interesting and incorporated fun activities that weren’t in a big heavy textbook that the students were not inclined to carry around. Not every student is molded to be a neurosurgeon like Lee Buono, but with the encouragement and patience of his teacher, he achieved an extremely incredible title and has made an amazing career for himself. I’ve had similar experiences with teachers that I had in high school, particularly my AP biology teacher, Mike…

    The Romans and the Hans had varying outlooks on technology as the Hans respected it and tied that into their commoners needs and the Roman had an outlook that working with your hands was vulgar and minimized the importance of tech and people who used it. The Han dynasty had a respect for technology and utilized it to improve society. On top of that, they believed it was the government’s responsibility to ensure technology was accessible to everyone. This difference in opinion came from economic differences. The Roman and Han empires had different economic strategies and different techniques for production and trade of goods.…

    Technology has shaped the world in many ways. People have no more time to just sit down and read a book, or even just sit down and reflect on the world and think about what this planet has become in the past 200,000 years. 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.…
