Technology is everywhere and we can’t escape it. It became part of every day lives. It is used for so many different reasons, the list is endless. One of the reasons is for use in schools. It’s so important that we use it in schools, if we didn’t how would we ever be advancing in society? Not using technology would be old school, back when all they used was pencil, paper and books. I mean how boring is that? Now, you have the world at your fingertips with a computer and the Internet.

Although, some people don’t believe in technology and that’s fine except I really think it’s a necessity or at least it’s going to be one in the future years. It’s important for schools to teach us at a young age how to use a computer because were going to need it so much as we get older. I’ve been using the computer for a long time, and it’s helped me out so much. Besides a computer there is other technology that is important too. Video cameras, digital cameras, recorders, etc. are all types of technology that I know I find myself or other students using in their school work. In my social studies class we go beyond the typical handed in piece of paper by recording our voice on a recorder for the world to listen to. We also use video cameras to present some of our projects. We take pictures on our digital cameras. If we didn’t use things like this, it would make our work boring and not something that would deserve an A+. Technology gives us a chance to expand and be better at things we know or even the things we don’t know.

            The world is out their listening and watching. Their just waiting to see what we create, what we can do with it. I’m sure people listen to us to find out new information; the Internet can be a source of news for some people. I’m sure there are people reading the things I have written that I will never meet in my life, and that I will never even know existed.

Why use technology? Well, I know I find myself using it for communicating with friends over the internet, playing computer games, listening to music, and watching videos. But there is more to using technology then the fun of it. In school you need to use to find information on a certain topic. Or to type that 3 page long assignment on the novel you just finished reading in class. Even to collaborate with a class that is half way across the world! Where would we go if we didn’t use technology? We use it to find out new information, new things that can only make us more advanced. Think of how far we’ve already come using it, now just imagine what its going to be like one hundred years from now.
