Lantz Education of Tech post 1

Technology is changing as time goes on. Technology is not good or bad it is simply relevant. It matters, it exists. It is something that is everywhere. It develops and gets enhanced with every year and it is necessary to utilize it in the classrooms. Students should be introduced to even the most basic forms of technology at a young age so they are able to comprehend the capabilities. This will help them understand and grasp more difficult concepts when using tech.

Positive:

Technology is good for connecting people via long distances, even if it is people you have met personally or not. It is a great way to connect with people around the world. I creates new and exciting thing never thought imaginable (ie the 3d doodler pens.) It helps with daily activities for example automatic can openers, or automatic wheel chairs. It saves time sending memories, documents, and sharing them simply with others but like anything else in this world it is good in small doses, and one is aware of the dangers in the world.

Negative:

Technology can allow bullying, addiction, and physical harm to users if something goes wrong. Phones have exploded from overheating and other issues. Addiction to video games and web surfing have become more prominent in most recent years.  Even bullying has moved into more technology. It could be because someone has better technology then you, or knows how to use it faster, or simply being cruel on the internet.

It is neither good or bad, but technology is building the world we are currently living in. Acknowledging that the different types exist and being educated about these, good or bad will benefit everyone  being students, teachers or others.
