Is Technology Causing Me To Lose As Much As I Gain?

Technology has always had this negative image of potentially making college students less educated as the years go by. We all know the saying "too much TV will rot your brain". but will it really? I do believe TV can affect brain cognition to some certain extent, but then again I believe that only happens when you watch uneducated shows. Channels like the History Channel or Discovery Channel can have a positive effect on students wanting to gain an edge on others. Technology is everywhere in the modern world. Students can now use full graphing calculators on their phone and at less than HALF the cost of a real graphing calculator. It is also no surprise on why schools have decided to transition into typed essays rather than written. Typed is much easier and comes out quite nicer and more organized than hand written. Technology in ways of harming students, could only come from social networks. Spending countless hours on Facebook or Twitter can and does harm a students grade significantly. I would know I have done this before and trust me it is NOT WORTH IT!! We all do agree though that all these methods of technology are both harmful and useful for a college student, just as long as you use them correctly. So watch some TV if you feel you need a break from reality, just keep it educational. Go on your social media websites, just make sure to give yourself some time focus on schoolwork as well. 

Students usually have a tendency to text during class, but can also be used as a notebook.
