What are your thoughts & opinions on technology?
In my opinion, technology is a useful educational tool, but it may also be the cause of the poor study behaviors that have become even more prominent today. I feel as though the technological tools students are given become more of a personal right of sorts, rather than a privilege. But that’s not to say that every student abuses the resources they have at their fingertips. School, intwined with technology, serves a purpose. That purpose is to help prepare students for their future in the best way possible. Perhaps a potential career won’t handle such high amounts of mathematics as others will, but challenging tasks and the ability to handle them are crucial. One cannot just bypass difficult things because they deal with math or technology because it will just make it more troublesome to find a sufficient job in the long run.
One might say that technology is to blame for the huge increase in population around the world, but what if it’s precisely the opposite? As the number of people continues to increase greatly, more and more jobs are being created - jobs that will soon require the use of technologies that haven’t even been invented yet. I find this remarkable because with these new advancements, a surplus of new information will pave the way for incredible discoveries to help solve problems our world currently suffers from. In that sense, technology can be greatly beneficial - but what I fear most is the misuse of such resources. Through the modern way of communication, the role of social media can often taint relationships and the natural manner of human interaction. This will certainly have an impact on my future and I can only hope that such technology will not “solve" old issues by creating new ones.
