Reflection on Education and Technology

Sometimes you think school is very hard, right? I guess that when you get home you think it is impossible to do homework. But you have to think what your parents and grand-parents had to pass by. Now you have the advantage of calculators and computers. In the past, your family couldn't research in Google. They always had to take tons of books home for information. Calculators are an advantage of now. In the past math was a lot slower. For my computers are very useful, especially in Microsoft Word. Typing make works a lot neater, a lot faster, and you can also put any special letter you want to. Another useful advantage we have now are online quizzes. It’s almost as good as books but a lot lighter than them! Ha Ha!

In conclusion, I can tell that technology does affect education in a good way. Researching it’s a lot better than a lot of years ago. Essays are pretty neat and fast-to-do. Quizzes have made reviewing a lot easier. But however, the option of using technology in education is optional. Maybe you are the kind of person that are very bad using computer or simply don't like them. Maybe you prefer researching in books. Maybe you prefer to write with pencil rather than typing, or maybe not. It depends on what you like and you shouldn't be discriminated for what you prefer.
