Multiculturalism and Technology Essay

Writing is so much easier when you don’t have a ridiculous amount of guidelines you have to follow. With literary freedom, we are able to express ourselves more than if we have to follow a specific set of rules for every thing we write. This is one downfall for high school English. We have to order our papers in a specific sequence while writing about a topic that is chosen for us. This English composition class changed all of that. We were able to write about anything that related to the given type of essay, which greatly improved our ability to fully immerse ourselves into every paper. This greatly affected my writing thoughts about writing; they changed from hating to write for school to actually enjoying it because I was able to

Technology is crucial with communication in different types of relationships. Communication is a key component in building a relationship, both in business and in a romantic relationship. As humans, it is natural that we communicate with one another. In the past, this had to be done through letters and postage companies, which would take awhile to deliver your message. In today's world, we humans use technology to communicate with our friends, business associates, consumers and loved ones. Communication has been aided by the invention of cellphones (mobile) and internet. These two inventions have changed the way we communicate, which is a good thing in today’s society. This generation heavily depends on technology to express their thoughts through text, email, and via phone call. This is because technology has made communication significantly faster than ever before.

We all know technology is a good thing, right? Or is it? We can all come up with reasons why technology is helpful or appropriate like we can for a particular medicine. And while some drugs are really great to cure or prevent a disease, sometimes the side effects outweigh any possible benefit. The same is true with technology. Some common negative side effects of technology are kids playing on their phones instead of going outside to play or young people not interacting face-to-face as much as they used to. Parenting is an area that has suffered since the rise in technology, specifically with phone use.

My experience with writing has always been basic; I have always followed the “rules”, never strayed from the prompt, and was never able to express myself and discover new things. I would follow the rules by never changing the paragraph structure and sticking to a formula, in doing this it has prohibited me from putting clear thoughts onto the page and from being able to be creative. Most prompts in high school are boring and cutthroat, they give writers no room for creativeness. This writing course allowed students and me to choose our own topic to write about, so that created a spark of creativity and critical thinking. Overall, I have enjoyed this course and I am excited to find innovated ways to write my essays in the next writing course to come.

‘Necessity is the mother of invention.’ Human beings have made do with their lot since time immemorial. Humanity has constantly tried to adapt to the world that it finds itself in, to conquer the environment in order to live more comfortable lives. Quite unlike the rest of the life forms that are present on earth, human beings have the distinction of having the capacity to create the most ingenuous ways of adapting and changing the environment to his favor-technology. Technology can be summed up as the use of non-human organisms, mechanisms or machinery to complete tasks at the command of the controlling individual.

Sims are the most dependent people in the world. Anything you say they do, or don’t do, because they rely on us to live. When I tell a Sim to eat they do, when I tell one to go to the bathroom they do, and when I tell them to stay up for three days straight talking to an alien they do. We all know at least one person like that.

Wanting insight to what has emerged in technology, I pestered my grandmother about what it was like growing up in her generation. “You’ve always got your face glued to your phone,” she says without missing a beat, “back in the sixties when I was in high school, the party line phone hung on the wall and had a time limit of three minutes before disconnecting with a ten second warning prior. There was no such thing as privacy. You had to stand in the middle of the kitchen and talk on the phone in front of the whole family. There was no thought of cellphones.”

Banksy is a street artist(s), who began doing graffiti in the early 1900s. The work done by the artist(s) is largely freehand but also uses stencils to apply the work. At times, the work makes political statements in a public place to cause attention. Other times the work is less serious and includes pieces depicting children or lovers. This work is produced in a public location so the public can view the art; it is created for everyone to see. The two images I have chosen are less politically driven and more focused on the integrity of today’s society. These images were given names of “The Lovers” and “Einstein”. Both of these art works tell a story of technology taking over today’s society. Banksy uses his art to open the eyes of the viewers, with “The Lovers” and “Einstein” he catches the attention of many people of its interpretation of today’s society.

I do not agree with the APP’s recommendation of having only two hours of daily entertainment and screen time for kids and teens. I believe that there should at least be 4 - 6 hours of recommended technology use each day. There are multiple reasonings to have a 4 - 6 hours of electronic time. People say that technology increases the way people do things at their schools, jobs, and at home. Technology helps people at school because many schools are now having more technology to help the kids understand. Technology also helps people at home, it helps them complete tasks throughout the house. Electronics help people at work because every day most jobs use computers and they help us complete our jobs. Adolescents can become more educated with a touch of a couple of buttons!

Many aspects of modern schooling, such as registers, year groupings and the bell, would still be recognisable to Victorian educators (Robinson, 2010; Howson, 2006). Nevertheless, it can be argued that teaching has undergone significant changes within the last decade, with technological advancements gaining ever greater prominence within the classroom (Selwyn, 2011). Technology has not only transformed the way we approach teaching, but has also influenced the ways in which children learn (Halverson and Smith, 2009). In order to meet the technological needs of today’s children, teacher training has evolved to incorporate additional computing skills and knowledge (Fisher, 2000; Selwyn, 2011). Furthermore, Michael Gove (Gove, 2014), acknowledged these technological advancements, replacing the previously ICT based curriculum (DfE, 2007) with one which incorporates elements of computer science and digital literacy (DfE, 2013).

The future of shopping is all about technology. Retailers are investing in all sorts of new technology to try and help their business make more profit. Robot assistants, a virtual you, digital butlers and drone deliveries are a few of the new inventions that companies are trying to make to advance their business (The Guardian, n.d.). Online shopping retail sales are predicted to grow to around $370 billion in late 2017, up from $231 billion in 2012 (CMO, n.d.), it is estimate that this number will keep going up as advancements in technology keep improving. It is also estimated that 72% of people aged between 13 and 35 research and shop their options online before going to a store or mall. These statistics show that every year young people usages of technology to buy a goods or service through technology is getting higher and higher. An example of a company using new technology is Dominos. Dominos have decided to add drone deliveries to their already successful business. “We invested in this partnership, and technology, because we believe drone delivery will be an essential component of our pizza deliveries, so even more customers can receive the hottest, freshest pizza we can offer” said by managing director Mr Meij. Dominos have taken a calculated risk using modern technology to try and give them that boost they want. This is an example of a business trying to gain a competitive advantage over there rivals (pizza hut). As technology is becoming the new way for the casual

This’s a fairly common topic nowadays and that I wanted to talk about it for a pretty long time ago since it has changed my view and think of a social life now and then, and also many times I compare the children now with me in the old days. So why do I want to write about this topic? What's a problem? And how has it changed the society and people around me? Let's analyze and learn about it. In the era of information technology explosion today wherever I go, the most common image I see is that children even in very small age but have used technology devices such as iPhone, iPad, computer, etc. very competently. The most obvious example of this's that my little niece and nephew, though they're under five they always have a phone or tablet in their hands and the way they use it surprised me and my family. They can download games, open the apps, or edit something on their phones by themselves without the support of adults. "These devices are the right size for little hands to handle them, and the touchscreen’s easy for tiny fingers to manipulate" (Independent). The children have been trained by their parents to get acquainted with electronic devices in the early age even at that age those devices are unnecessary. “In 2011, a year after the iPad launched, just 10 per cent of US children under the age of two were found to have used tablets or smartphones, but by 2013 that figure had nearly quadrupled. A 2015 study in France found that 58 per cent of under-twos had used a tablet

People’s current internet and other digital habits do affect their ability to be good friends, students, and members of society. Socially, the usage of technology affects people's ability to communicate and how they react to certain situations. We will explore the changes that have occurred to the human psyche when the body has had any technology usage. Technology affects essentially all members of society and therefore is changing humankind in a sense.

Technology has no intrinsic value. Only the person using the technology gives it value. When technology is used properly, it is a useful tool. On the other side of the spectrum when technology is used improperly, it becomes a crutch for the user and limits the user's true potential. This paper will explain the many ways that technology can be a help and or harmful to families.

If technology continues to influence and shape our brains in the future, then at the end of the life will we be the same person? With the introduction of new technologies in the society, the human mind is constantly changing and adapting to the changes. Today people are becoming more and more addicted to technological devices that their thinking ability is deteriorating. Human minds are continually relying on an electrical device. As a result, it is becoming hard for people to use their own mind. Remembering an important date or information will soon start to disappear as people will lose their memorizing ability. People have become so reliant on technology that it becomes hard for them to focus on simple tasks and the small things that life has to offer.
