Media culture and technologies influence on curriculum in the classroom over the last 20 years has been astronomical. The increase in the use of multimedia and technology in our everyday lives has become a major influencer on the way students and teachers navigate within their classrooms. This has created a sense of urgency to incorporate this new tech culture into the classroom. With so many advancements and ideas for the facilitation of technology in the classroom, there are a number of seemingly outlying factors that contribute to technologies successful incorporation and use.

When technology is not seen as a valuable collaborative tool its implementation and use is stagnant. The perception and attitudes of teachers play a major role in the success or failure of the introduction and implementation of technology in classroom.

Many critics have written opinion pieces on technology and how it affects our society. Some say technology will be the ruin of the human race as we know it, others say it is the greatest tool to ever be made, and yet others state technology is changing the basic function of the human mind. Along with the before stated topics, equalities of all kinds are thoroughly presented in these opinion pieces. Whether it is gender, racial, or inequalities based on disabilities; writers have covered many of the bases when it comes to how technology affects discrimination. Eula Biss wrote an essay on telephone poles called Time and Distance Overcome, which also covered racial discrimination. Another work called Is Coding the New Literacy? by Tasneem Raja goes in-depth on the gender gap in the computer coding work field.

While technology may be an innovative resource for the classroom, students' exposure to technology should be regulated because overuse of technology negatively affects the brain and eyes, and impacts basic life skills. Technology in moderation can be beneficial, but an excessive amount creates more problems than it solves.

In the year of 2040, my children will not be experiencing the life other individuals experienced especially with driver’s education. However, in the year 2040, I imagine myself warm and cozy with my two cats and golden retriever, looking through my bedroom window watching self-driven vehicles speed by my house as I supervise my children as they wait for their self-driven school bus.
