  1. In our world technology regulation has progressed and become more widespread. It has reshaped our world undoubtedly. Technology assists everyone to do work and it makes life more comfortable, which is why it’s so widespread. Some people are addicted to social media. They’re valid but also wrong methods to use technology. Social media and technology help people interact and share ideas, opinions, and views.

  2. All people have very different opinions on the topic of technology. Me personally, I think it is a good thing. It helps kids learn and it motivates kids to learn. If we start to use technology in the right way that would benefit kids, technology will become a big part of education. Technology plays such a big part in our life, we depend on it. Kids now in days learn better with computers and the things they want to learn with instead of a board and teacher. If I were to learn in the way I benefit, I would learn and comprehend a lot more.

  3. As i watched this i thought about how everyone has different views on technology as well as everything else in the world. I believe that technology is a good thing. It has become more advanced and is used all around the world in everyday lives. it has helped kids get an education right from there house and has opened up new opportunities for students in the future. It is helpful for everyone and has allowed people to connect to more people around the world. Technology has improved living and education in many ways for people and everyone will benefit in many ways.

  4. The future of technology would look like a more personalized piece that benefits people’s own advantage. Devices are being created to personalize schedules, to connect others to the world, and make growth as a whole the most efficient. Devices like Knewton have been made, and can be seen as the future of technology from how it’s still in its production state. People will have more personalized connections anywhere, at any moment. The future of technology is the future of a giant network, entertwining people from all around the globe to one another, making the barrier of land no longer an obstacle.
    The impact of the future of technology on society would be the noticeable one. Its created a networked society, from people all around the world becoming one with others, from places like Australia being able to communicate with people in England. There are a lot more opportunities for children to connect with others, and they end up finding things that others are interested too, since they have the feeling of vulnerability/exposure plus the boosted confidence,as stated in the video.
    I personally would use technology for more entertainment purposes. Technology is a great area to not only experience communication with others, it’s also a great place to communicate and play with each other. For as long as technology has and will exist, entertainment will be derived from it. Not only that, but as technology improves, later on in life, it’s noted that it’s increased our ways of sharing life moments with others. I would use it to do so, because the ease of sharing life has been created by technology today, letting those who are impacted by my life moments know what’s going on. And as seen in the video, technology will be used in my academic life more so due to more academic courses and resources being created to support the growth of learning, like Knewton.

  5. Many people tend to have different opinions on technology and whether its impacts are negative ot positive. In my opinion, I think that technology is a very important way for students to learn. With all the advanced technology we have today such as cell phones, computers, smart watches, etc. , there is so many ways we can open new doors and oppurtunites for future generations by teaching them with these pieces of technology. Why not take advantage of these technologies? Some of the worlds most successful and smart people such as Steve Jobs, and Elon musk, made a living because of technology and the oppurtunities it provided.

  6. i think that technology has had good and bad impacts on society and education. technology has had great impacts on the improvement of education and is a very important way for students to learn and obtain information. technology is also a big part of the job market. so many companies and businesses use technology with their workers to communicate and get work done more efficiently. you can also use technology to communicate with people around the world which is very good to have.

  7. Technology is neither good or bad, what makes technology good or bad is how we as people use it, and what for. Technology has improved our lives and have made them easier. Technology has allowed us to make countless scientific and medical advances, itg has increased our lifespans and have helped solve various problems. On the other hand, technology has made us, as a society, lazier than ever because of the convenience and lack of effort we now need to put in, because of technology. students need technology now to learn, because the education system is outdated and no longer gives students the skills they need in today’s modern world.

  8. Many people tend to have different opinions on technology and whether its impacts are negative or positive. In my opinion, I think that technology is a good thing. It has become more advanced and is used all around the world in everyday lives. With all the advanced technology we have today such as cell phones, computers, etc. , there are so many ways we can open new doors and opportunities for future generations by teaching them with these pieces of technology. Technology has helped kids get an education right from there homes and has opened up new opportunities for students in the future.

  9. In the future, technology will be a lot more advanced. It will also be more accepted and used in schools and the workplace. This is because many people from the younger generation will be in charge of the workplace or will be teachers and administrators. This means that they will have a different view on technology and will know how much it benefited them. Technology is slowly but surely making an impact on society. Take the mall for example, now that there is so much online shopping, not as many people go to the mall. Many people could lose jobs because of this. I use technology on a day to day basis, whether it’s my phone, or my computer, or my tv, its always on. This has made me very “tech-savvy” and better with technology overall. I think that technology is a very helpful thing to have.

  10. Technology has had both positive and negative impacts not only on society, but also intricate parts of our daily life. Always having technology on us wherever we go is a helpful thing, but it can also be very distracting. Without technology we wouldn’t have advanced in our world as far as we have, but we also wouldn’t have nearly as many distractions. Technology has helped us in so many ways, but the only major downside it has is distraction. Distraction can lead to many other mishaps, but overall tech has had a more positive impact on our culture than a negative one.

  11. This video discusses the idea of rather or not technology is bad. We use it every day to do nearly everything, yes technology is god in helping us complete tasks, but it is also distracting us from those very tasks. For technology to be considered good or bad we really need to see how people are using it. Some people may use it properly and further expand their knowledge while others use technology for meaningless time filling activities. So in the end to determine your stance on wether technology is good or bad you really need to step back and look at how you are using it if it is helping you more than it is diservicing you.

  12. In the future and even now everything that anyone would ever want to know will be at people’s fingertips. everything will be convenient and easy. everything can be customized for each individual. education will be fitted to each student and they can learn better.

  13. In the future, I predict that technology will become more and more of a common tool used in classrooms to the point where almost all the learning in classrooms is done via the use of technology. Because of this, not only will students be allowed to go more in-depth in their learning, but it also makes the overall process of gathering information from different sources much more efficient. Personally, I predict that I will mostly use technology to improve the quality of not only the work I do in school but also improve the overall quality of my work that I do when I enter the workforce in the future.

  14. Technology will become more advanced in the future. Technology will be used more in classrooms and it will be accepted more in schools. Different places will have different opinions of how they should use technology or even if they should use certain technology. I think technology is a very useful to have and a very useful if you do in fact know how to use technology.

  15. In the future, I assume that technology will become a more common tool used in classrooms to the point where almost all the learning in classrooms is done via the use of technology. Because of this, not only will students be allowed to be more involved in their learning, but it also makes the overall process of gathering information from different sources much more efficient. Personally, I think I’ll mostly use technology to improve the quality of not only the work I do in school but also improve the overall quality of my work that I do when I enter the workforce in the future.

  16. Technology in the future will most likely become a widely used tool in classrooms and in every household. People already are highly engaged in technology and people will not give up on advancing technology even more in the future. Technology is already so advanced and people will find more ways to make it more complex and amazing. If technology is used in schools it will make learning much easier since all students will have access to anything that they might need and it will overall make learning way easier than it is today.

  17. technology will begin to appear more frequently and come in new forms. Eventually, majority of every action we take will involve some sort of technology and be online-based. It will be present everywhere we go; in school, at home, in the workplace, in public, etc. Many, many things will become easier to accomplish and doing things around the house will get more convenient.

  18. As I watched the video I thought about how technology will be changing throughout the years and the different forms it will come in. I also thought about technology would be showing up in different places and will be used to better society for the future. things will become easier to complete and every day things will be easier and convenient
