“We’re Educating in Sound Bites”
I agree “most” students do have short attention spans. Since we are bombarded with technology, students are conditioned to have everything done so quickly. When it comes to school, students struggle to maintain a high concentration and interest in the class. I’m affected by technology because, by simply using a computer, and a calculator, modern technology does the thinking for me. . . .
At first I was defensive and disagreed with the context of the article. Our education level will determine how well our future will be, and we need to create a path way witch we can benefit from. So I depend on someone or something to do my work for me. My response tells me that I am a very educated person but I am too lazy to do my work. After carefully reading it again and giving it some thought, I came to a conclusion that as technology advances people will rely more to a machine rather then their own brain. John Balzar is upset how students are irresponsible towards their studies. Reading this article has made me realize that we as students don’t put any effort and time into our work. John Balzar has the right to his own opinion. I would benefit from using books and paying attention in class. But it is wrong for him to assume that we lack of interest of school after just teaching for a semester. ot contain high concentration in class because of out side activities or other problems. Personally, I do not benefit from using technology. We need to focus our attention more on our studies.
