Technology Reflection

Technology is everywhere in today's world. It is the way the world functions and without it many of the things we do today would not be possible. Technology follows us from the moment we wake up to when we close our eyes to sleep at night. Many people use their phones as alarms and when they wake up they get on them to check thier social medias or the news. It is in our homes, such as the wifi, computers, laptops, ipads, and smart tvs. Technology follows us even to our professions such as teachers, lawyers, doctors, and office jobs. I cannot imaginge teaching without technology because it makes thing easier. Technology has made things easier such as communication around the world. People are able to communicate with loved ones that are living in another country withing seconds. Technology has also helped further advancement in the medical field. Technology has helped make new medice, new procedures for surgeries, and many other thigns I cannot name.

Technology has really revolutionized teaching and shcools. Technology has really brought many advantages to teaching. When used appropriately it helps with differentiating teaching styles in lessons. Everyone learns differently and being about to accomodate teaching styles is very important. Technology provides many resources that teachers and students can use to further explain a lesson. With technology virtual classrooms have become possile. There is an application called google classrooms which allows a teacher to create a classroom online. The teacher can put assignment, take attendance, make test, and grade all in one place. It makes it easier for the students to keep up with assignments and get help faster from a teacher even if they are home working on thier homwork. The only negative thing about technology is that students can use it to cheat since everything is on Google.

Technology has really advanced medicine as well. Doctors are now able to 3D print organs for people who need them. Instead of people waiting months, or years for a match or a donor they can just have one printed out. Technology has really advanced other medical procedures such as surgeries and medication. Doctors are able to perform certain surgeries that they could not do in the past. With new technological equipment pharmacist are able to create new vaccines and medications for certain diseases. Technology has really helped save many lives.

Albert Einstein wrote a quote that says "I fear the day that technology surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots." I think that he makes a great point. Technology has really changed the way people interact and communicate. Some people cannot hold a good converstaion face to face but through online they can. It is not right that people are losing their communication skills. Therefore people need to find some form of balance with technology. Some people spend 24/7  on their phones on social media and not interacting with the people in their lives. I personally try not to spend more then two hours on social media or on my phone in general. People are going to be alright as long as people find a balance.
