Our technology today is very different and more advanced than our parents had. For school assignments we have the ability to research articles, videos, and any information we need; however, when our parents were in school they had to use the newspaper for articles and watch the news at night to see the videos needed to complete assignments. In addition to the advancements needed for education, technology has been beneficial for quick communications. For example, during any sort of campaign, having it be political or within the community, technology has allowed people to share their voice and ideology with others without even having to move. Information can be sent to someone else within seconds, yet previously they would have to wait hours, days, months to get information out. I believe that students should be able to have laptops or tablets at their disposal to research and better their education in school. Whether they buy it on their own or the schools have the ability to lend them out at times, technology will take education to the next level and keep students evolving into the new times where technology is evolving too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technology is one of the fasts growing commodities in society due to its forever evolving nature.
