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…

The world of today is made possible due to the advancement of technology. Different fields of professions incorporate technology into their line of work to improve skills for better achievement. For example, the film industry started off simply with silent black and white motion pictures filmed by constantly cranking a camera handle back in the 1890s. As the time passed, the world entered into a technological evolution. Slowly, films were being made grander with each decade. Silent motion…

On the flip side, technology could help fight income inequality as well. With the greater use of technology, it can make it easier to live in a smaller home and rent objects at time when you want them through the Internet. This would allow lower income workers to live closer to the city where the rent is high and might able to get a higher paying job.

I love using my phone every day, am sure there’s not even an hour that passes…

member at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. In his article, McCoy has pointed out many studies that showcase the rapid growth of technology use amongst young adults as well as the increase of use and availability of technology for students. The use of technology can be a great educational tool in the classroom but when used for non-educational purposes the technology is detrimental to student learning.

We see every day that the evolution of technology has become something remarkable in our lives. This development is the result of our many technological devices, however, we can not live without them. They are harmful to society in general and private users. Although the technology has facilitated us a lot of things of our lives, we have some negative effects, and that does not mean in any way to do without them, but emphasizes the need for the ban when used. Computer, for example, is a…

I personally stand somewhere in between both sides. Some days I may sway to one side more than the other, but the majority of the time I agree with both sides. Both sides have good arguments to why they think the way they do.…

for those bilingual students to be able to talk to each other and explain their thinking in their native language first before sharing with the class in English.

Students benefited from sharing their differing perspectives with one another to gain a deeper understanding of the diverse world around them. For example in my student teaching experience we were reading aloud a…
