In my research for my essential question I didn't answer my question because there was not an answer to it, it was more like an opinion. My question was "Is technology good for our society or is it making people inadequate to learn". Through my quest for information i had a lot of
unuseful information that through me off a little but i happened to find my way back to a lot of good stuff that really helped me answer my question. One of the blogs that helped me was an article titled "The Presidents Letter" by Dawn
Bruner, this article was about some of the technological advances that the economy has implemented to the people in our society.
Dawn
Bruner talks about online banking, e-mail,
internet and computers in general. She has very
inparticular sides of views on all these advances but the main one she talks about is computers. She gives her side of the story and believes that technology has made us lazy but goes on later to say that she would not trade her computer for a typewriter. She made it seem as if she is on both sides of the argument but it showed me that she does believe that technology makes us lazy but it has affected her to because she can't work or organize her blogs without her computer.
The information that I found from Dawn helped me a lot because it was the main article that helped me give my opinion about the situation. So in my opinion I am on both sides of the argument, I believe that technological advances have made us lazy but I also think it has brought us far. If we never expanded our minds to find technology we probably would not electricity to run the computer i am typing on. Or we probably would not have anything we rely on a daily bases like cell phones, and of course computers, and even the clock that gives us the time to change classes in our school.
So in conclusion I Think that technology has helped in many ways and only affected us in motivation a little. Technology has made us advanced and lazy. So in the end i have answered my question and I belong to both sides of the argument.
