HIGH SCHOOL
Do you ever think about why high school is built the way its built? Not it's foundation or it's structure, but the way certain people hang out with certain people. How some people wear different types of clothing? Why do people bully one another? Why are some teachers nice while other ones are mean? Why African American kids stick together, Whites hang out with their race, but then you have the kids like me that are friendly and hangs with everyone. Why is high school set up like this?

True Facts
Technology really hasn't hit our older generation yet, but is influencing our younger ones. Almost every child between the ages of 11 and older has a social networking site: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Vine, or Youtube. Parents, have you ever took the time out to see what your child is looking at on those sites? Last night, around 12:00 am, as i was strolling down my TL (timeline) on Twitter i saw some inappropriate posts. If I'm 17 and i find those things inappropriate to my eyes, what do you think there doing to a little 11 year old child. It's like the media wants us to do these things and be looked at wrong. Every commercial on television is talking about teen pregnancy or drugs and alcohol. Some kids think that what they see on television is okay to do so they turn to drugs, alcohol, sex, babies, gangs, and crime. Have you ever saw the advertisement for the video game Grand Theft Auto or Call Of Duty? Those are the games that all the younger children die for, but do you think those games are safe for their eyes to see? You can get on the internet nowadays you can find Barbie Dolls, that'll have babies. Technology is just a little to advance for the little ones today.

"The advantages Technology has given us outweigh the disadvantages."
Many argue that as we venture further into the frontier of technology we proceed with a slow death of society, by losing culture and ultimately a sense of self. To a certain extent this may be true, but realistically if we cease to progress we wont be able to survive. (Robert)
There are many examples of advantages and disadvantages some mentioned were " Technology has the ability to create shortcuts in working and can make tasks easier also. Solid examples are cars, calculators and phones, through technology life may be faster but is also easier. To further this point a fact brought up by Jo-ann was that diseases we have today would be and could have become epidemics, if it were not for technology being there in the field of medicine, medical advances would not have happened or would have come years later (Jo-ann). As far as transportation man has come a long way from horses and coal driven trains to computer navigable and driven cars. In boats crossing the Atlantic it took four to six months, in 747 airliner commercial jets takes ten to fifteen hours (Dana), even though they add to the pollution crisis a population accustomed to having these conveniences is still using them regardless. Among other advantages is the fact that with technology communications is a hundred times faster than without it (Ailua). Before telephones, emails and fax machines, there were trains, carriages and the pony express with the modes of traveling we have now we have been able to make the world smaller so to speak. With technology we enjoy luxuries such as movies, television, fresh food and refrigerators, ovens to cook on and bake in. And with every advantage that technology gives, it brings along with it a disadvantage we have come to depend on it more and more as we advance in the field.

Do you think technology has changed your lives? In what type of ways has it changed your lives? I've noticed how everyone depends on their cell phones... RIGHT ??? Personally I can't live without my cell phone, my cell phone is my best friend! I received my first cell phone when i was in the 10th grade! Nowadays, children are getting cell phones in the 5th grade! Do you think that's crazy??? I do because parents are letting their children and technology RULE them. So do you think technology has changed our lives? Or helped us out?
