Pros and Cons to Technology

Technology has many ups and downs to the way it's affecting society. Here are just a couple pros to this argument.
PROS:



  • Technology has helped with quick comunication. Think about before there were cell phones; people would have to "page" eachother or call from a home phone. Or going back even further, people had to write letters!

  • The internet has helped with the whole "job-hunting" facade. Before the internet, there were the Classifieds. It took forever just to find a simple search. Now, however, you can just type in whatever you're looking for and then BAM! there is tons of options right at your figertips.

  • Another big pro in technology is the ways it's used in schools. In some schools (not including college) every student has their own laptop for notes, internet, etc. Of course this only happens at the moment in rich schools, but it's a growing popularity. Below is a link to a professor's take on education and how technology has helped and worsened the education system.
