has imagined a futuristic world of advanced technology. However, now that it is here, we are abusing it to the point where children, as well as adults, have already become obsessed with it. Their obsessions can result in deviant acts, meaning they break social norms. Finding the balance between using electronics as an intriguing learning tool and occasional pastime seems to be difficult for many families, for many use it as a babysitter. The technology we have today is incredible, but we…

Proposal Draft Programmed Happiness Imagine living a life without technology, cars, or the little gadgets we take for granted in our everyday lives. I just described the life of the the Amish, who choose to live their lives without modern technology, something we cringe at the thought of. Since we are the generation that will have a panic attack without our phone, living such a life sounds impossible. In this day and age technology is all around us. We cannot imagine our lives functioning…

Imagine a world where everyone has technology, whether it’s a cell phone, laptop, tablet, you name it, everyone has it. Even those living in the far away depths of America, and those who can’t even afford free school lunch. This is hard to image and poses many questions, but in general, it is unrealistic. “Our Future Selves,” an article written by Eric Schmidt and Jared Cohen, informs readers on the importance of technology in revolutionizing our today. Both authors are highly involved with the…

with technology. Looking back, however, I realize that technology has influenced what I do and how I think from a very young age. From playing video games and memorizing the keys on a computer key board as a child, to doing various projects in high school and college, to using an e-reader I have immersed myself in a culture of technology without much conscious thought. I think that many people have this same attitude of adaptation. They are introduced to and continue to use technology at…

VIRTUAL REALITY IN EDUCATION Nowadays education and technology are interconnected. Virtual reality is the major technological advance that can support education. Virtual reality become powerful to help industrial design and increase student interest in education. Since the 1980s many studies have been educated on the application of virtual reality in education. Virtual reality enables creation of virtual reality environment (VLE), where students can learn by interacting with virtual object…

As I dive deeper into this world in which technology plays a core role in development I started to ask myself whether the world is becoming a robotic entity ruled by machines and virtual intelligence. This piece of writing will discuss this very matter and will explain the effects of being controlled by the internet and technology. Nicholas Carr, an American writer who has published books and articles on technology, business, and culture, discussed this issue in his article "Is Google Making Us…

Technology is such a fast growing phenomena that research within this field is finding it hard to keep up with the ever changing digital world. This is especially true for technology and children in Early Years. Although, the Early Years foundation stage framework (DfE, 2008) suggests, children should select and use technology for particular purposes, there are no guidelines as to length of screen time or whether technology should be given as a free choice activity. Parents in this study…

Digital technology within the elementary school classroom is something that as of lately has started to become to be an increasingly large focus within the field of digital sociology. This could be for many reasons. To begin, the introduction of technology and technological aides has started to begin at a much earlier age in the year 2015 than it has ever before. Looking back twenty years ago, classrooms (especially elementary school classrooms) were lucky if they had two or more desktop…

learning opportunity to discover the new technology in every class. I always considered myself to be tech-savvy. The word is used to describe a person who is well informed about or proficient in the use of modern technology, especially computers. However, I discovered numerous newly invented technologies every class through the robotics news report or at the beginning of every class when professor Eguchi introduced us to new technology. One of the memorable technologies that we covered in this…

predicted that technology would rapidly improve every 18 months. Fast forward to 2016 and we have improved so well technologically that it has become something nobody could have ever predicted. We are living in a golden age of technology with discoveries happening every day and produced every day. In 2016, we tend to make fun of technology that is only 5 years old because we can never imagine how we could possibly survive by relying on such an old device. We strongly rely on technology to help…
