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.

Efrain...you are two posts short and must go deeper. This is very surface level research/analysis.
Come on efrain this post is short but yet i couldn't get through it because it's so boring. (not trying to be rude buddy!) I think you should put alittle more personality into your writting.
Good point on this sublect. you brought up the point hat it might make us lazy. I dissagree with this becasue you are doing the work. That is an abstance of lazyness isn't it? Lazy means you are not doing work. Some people might dissagree with me but if people re doing the work it in turn helped people. I think you should look into computers more becaus it would help your research. Here is one way that I look at it. By using computers, that helps us make more technology, so in turn I believe it helps us. But good try Eff!
i thnk that technology is beneficial to us. Although it has its flaws but without tecchnology who knows what life would be like. For example what would the average lifespan be without technology or how would we travel and now days even learn. I understnd that there are negative sides as well like to make weapons and all that but even before some of todays advances in weapons there would always be war. SO therefore my opinion is technology is in fact not only good for us but in a way neccisary for the modern lifetyle. i was unsure on were you stand on this topic couldnt quite understand what you mean.
oh yea by the way without technology we wouldnt be able to do this research project so i do not understand how you can consider technology a way of making people lazy.. It is more of a tool to help us gain information on subjects like yours. SO yea..
more research?
