                                        There are alot of advantages of having technology in school. It gives us the right to finish papers, and we also have computers to do test. Some children don't have computers and dont have wifi to get on the internet. Also another advantage would be doing less work for teachers and students. When teachers upload work on websites it makes it easier to do work. Printing copies its alot of money and it is a waste of trees. When we can be saving trees. Students could possibly lose papers. If the work is online it becomes easy to access. They can just log on a cite where they left off, and there work would immediately save after you exit out. If the students mom has to work a 10 hour job and cannot pick her child. Supervisors and teachers can do there work on the computer. Its alot of children that lives in single parent households so this would do the teachers and parents a great deal of help. Technology also teaches you stuff that you didnt know in the past. I have learned alot just searching important and random things going on in the world. Whatever a student doesnt know how to do the internet teachers them. It was bad but also good for people of the ages of fifty and sixty, because they didn't have technology during that time period. They had no computers. All of their work was on paper. They learned through the teachers words and books. The way they did these back then made them really use there brain and not be lazy. They had nothing in life handed to them. So now that we have all this technology now the thirty year olds can add more knowledge to their brains. Also another advantage is security. We can locate where our phones, laptops, tablets, and computers if they are stolen. Back in the 1990's they did not have that. So you would have to be very responsible when keeping up with your electronics. The disadvantages to havintg technology back them is having social media distracting kids thats now thirty years old. Technology is like cellphones, tablets. If they had as much technology as they have today they would be distracted heavily. If your on the line working doing construction and someone snaps a picture that you dont like you could possibly snatch the phone which would result in it breaking or damaging tools or equipment. This is definitely distracting. For example, lets say your in class doing work and you get a twitter update naturally you are going to want to look. Having a cellphone in school is a bit of an distraction. These are some things about having technology in school.
