In my search for my question on my i-search paper i visited a website called www.ezinearticles.com this website helped clarify my question a little. This article talked about peoples different point if views on weather technology is good or bad for us. A man named Lance Winslow discussed his and other peoples point of views and he thinks that he believes that technology is "dummying down the population base" and that most people became relient on technology and can't live without it(Winslow). Lance Winslow's side of the argument thinks why cant we be in tact with technology and be in tact with letting us thinking for ourselves(Winslow). This information tells me that my essential question will not have a plain answer it will most likely be a opinion because people might argue about the same topic but have different point of views.

As my research continued more people have different opinions and one person in particular was Howard Dittmer. This persons arguement is that teachers of some campuses are tryin to ban laptops from the classrooms in which they teach in, for many students this is a hassle because this how they take notes and they rely on the laptop to keep them on task and not needing to take all the notes by paper and pencil. Some drastic measures that some campuses are taking isz turning off the WiFi in the campus so students cannot use there laptops there(Dittmer). Again this helped me because it shows how people are against technology and even banning it just to have more participation in class, Howard Dittmer is against this ban and with technology on this one.
