Prompt #1

I don't think that I realized how much the American society really did use technology until after watching the video "Did You Know." The impact of technology has grown immensely over time. People of all ages are using technology in many different ways. I think that a lot of children and adolescents are becoming addicted to different devices and they depend on them way too much. I believe that in classrooms students are starting to depend on technology as well. Instead of using other resources, students tend to just grab their phone or computer and "just google it" to try and solve the problem. I do believe that students can learn from technology. I think that technology for American society and popular culture is informative but it is also used more for connection purposes. Facebook, twitter, instagram, etc. are used to share things between friends, whereas in the classroom, technology is used specifically as a learning tool and resource. Technology will continue to grow over time and I believe that it is a useful tool to help enrich the lives of children.
