Modern Technology Is A Blessing

More than 50 percent of people in the U.S.A have some type of technology device either with them or at their house; maybe even both. Daily life has changed so much over the years due to the technological advancements. Technology has changed many things about communication skills, entertainment, and even activities.

Ever since cellular phones first came to be in the 1980’s, people have been using them to carry out conversations, ask questions, or meet new people. Once cell phones reached a height of internet capabilities, smartphones were created. Cell phones from then on ended up changing society entirely. This research study could explain the effects of cell phones from their creation to today’s society and how they would influence the future generations. This study would also focus on the evolution of how cell phones become even more involved in our lives and how they truly influence us. This study would be beneficial to our generation by teaching them how technology is expanding, and the lives of humans will get easier as time goes on. Furthermore, this study would be beneficial as a report on how cell phones came to be in our history. This would expectedly heighten the awareness of society to how different our lives could be according to technological development. To the future researchers, this study could be used as a base for data in future development into how society adapts.

Technology is an essential part of our life. The use of technology can be seen in almost every aspect of our daily routines. Despite some people’s belief that technology is progressively destroying humanity, it is evident that technology’s advancements have greatly benefited humankind due to its contributions to improving education, health, and communication.

In a world where the functions of cellphones, robotics, and such technology are rising, humans are becoming more and more dependent on them on a day to day basis. People are seen using a cell phone all the time and pretty much all jobs use some sort of technology in order to aid the workers. Essay authors published in the book “They Say/I Say” all have different opinions on whether or not all this rise of technology is a beneficial thing for humans or not. In the article “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” Nicholas Carr believes that the internet is altering the way that his mind works when he is reading and Sherry Turkle’s article “No Need to Call” depicts several instances of people’s lives and how they are affected by their phones and computers.

Dependency on Smartphones Albert Einstein once said, "I fear the day when technology will surpass our human interaction. We will have a generation of idiots. " Today’s generation has become so dependent on our smartphones for information. As smartphones have become a great and easy tool for things such as surfing the internet, communication, and navigation.

From cell phones and CrackBerries to iPhones and laptops, technology has become such an integral part of our daily lives, we wouldn't know how to live without it.

Electronic devices are consuming the lives of everyday people. Everywhere you look someone will be locked in staring at their phone screen, unaware of what’s happening around him or her. Electronic devices have become a daily necessity for people. Electronic devices are a controversial topic today. While some believe that electronic devices are harmful, others believe these devices benefit society. In, “A Thing Like Me,” Nicholas Carr brings up the extent on which humans depend on devices. The dependence on electronic devices has consequences. The consequences that come from electronic devices are in takes away from face to face communication, the devices cause distractions when driving which can lead to serious injuries or even death. Electronic devices also have changed the way of learning, people no longer feel the need to learn when typing a question into Google gives people the answer.

Ask any college student to state one of their largest expenses and it would be safe to bet the response would be “Textbook prices!” The cost of purchasing required materials for courses has reached numbers high enough to cause many students to take out second loans. Information released this year by the American Enterprise Institute shows that “College textbook prices have increased faster than tuition, health care costs and housing prices, all of which have risen faster than inflation” (Kingkade, 2013). This information equates to an 812% increase in the cost of college textbooks over what they were just over thirty years ago (Kingkade, 2013). The figure here shows an unusually large increase that has far outpaced that of average

In Jack London’s classic story, “To Build a Fire” the main character learns an important value on pride and arrogance. Unluckily, he learned this lesson by losing his life. His pride and arrogance led him to arctic conditions that limited him from building a fire resulting in his death. Had he listened to the wise man and to others, by not traveling out into the deathly conditions, he could’ve survived.

It’s imperative that this same California Law be initiated at Universities across Louisiana as well as two-year colleges like Delgado to cut the cost of overpriced textbooks. Let’s face it. We’re now living in a microwave, fast-paced, and digital generation where smart phones, I-pods and I-pads are taking over. A generation where life is at the touch of a handheld device where you can receive emails, telephone calls, and even order a movie or concert ticket at the blink of an eye. Devices such as the Apple I-pad starts at a price of $499 for 16gb 3g up to $899 for 32gb 3gs compared to the Kindle which sells for a whole lot cheaper, but the Kindle

A book that cost 25 dollars in 1978 would have cost 208 dollars in 2013, for an increase of 812 percent, and 82 percent just between 2002 and 2013. This is a higher increase than medical care, housing, and even the consumer price index. The college board estimates that in 2014 an average student paid 1,200 dollars on books and supplies, roughly 14 percent of the students tuition cost. A survey in 1997 shows students paying an average of 642 dollars, almost doubling in 17 years time. This is a drastic increase in the price of books, but what is causing the textbooks to increase in price so severely? The regular inflation rate is one part of the increase in price, but the increase in book costs are more than double the regular rate of inflation, 6 percent over the regular rate of 3 percent. Half of the textbooks produced in 2003 were “bundled” with additions such as a CD-Rom or a workbook, nearly doubling the cost where a non bundled version was available. However, these additional resources are not always used by the instructors. 65 percent of instructors polled reported that they “rarely” or “never” used the additional materials. Another way the cost rises is when a new edition is released, roughly every three years a new edition of a textbook is released. The new edition of the textbook normally will have an increase of price of 12 percent. A text that starts at 50 dollars will cost 70 dollars or more by the time it is on it's third edition. 76 percent of the instructors polled say that the new editions that they use are justified in the “never” to “half the time” range while 40 percent say the new editions are justified “rarely” to “never”. Perhaps the largest contributing factor to the cost of textbooks rising as quickly as they do is one simple fact, there are very few publishers that release college textbooks and four of them, McGraw-Hill,

Technology has its advantages in many ways and I know firsthand how powerful and convenient today’s technology is. Without it, I would have a lot of trouble getting through my day. I would not be able to get a hold of someone as easy without my blackberry. I am constantly text messaging on it. So much to the point that I trip over stuff while I am walking due to reading a long text. My blackberry is basically my life. It is great to know that if I ever get stranded in the middle of a desert on my way to California, I have roadside assistance on my phone to save me. I

Technology has, since the primitive years, always been used to invent tools in order to solve problems. This would, in turn, simplify and make man’s life easier. Through advancements in the field, man has become more efficient on both the macro- and microscopic level. Anything nowadays can be attained with either the flip of a switch or a click of a mouse. One particular technology that came about in this time was the smartphone. Since 2008, the smartphone, a device that combines a normal cell phone with a computer, typically offering Internet access, data storage, e-mail capability, etc. all in your hand was deemed as ground-breaking technology and created one of the largest and most competitive market in terms of
