In “Attention Students: Put Your Laptops Away” the author addresses the role of technology in the classroom, specifically the effects of electronic note taking. According to the author, “typing your notes is faster”(1) but “there are still some advantages to doing things the old-fashioned way”(1). The writer explains that laptops and tablets have become a large part of society today but lack the benefits that handwriting notes have. For example, since typing is faster “ people have a tendency to try to take verbatim notes” (1) whereas handwriting is slower and requires “extra processor the material”(1) that benefit the students comprehension ability.
