The spark of creativity that came out when we started playing together outside did not seem to light up again. I was lucky that I played sports, which gave me some physical exercise, but some of my friends did not even do that.
Of course I did not realize it at the time, but my instant messaging got me in the habit of abbreviating, misspelling and really bad grammar. When I wrote papers in school, my teachers would circle stupid things like your for you're. I had to remember not to put down "U went 2 school," for a sentence. The spell check on my computer did not help matters much, since I became very reliant (and still am very reliant) on it for spelling correctly.
If I made this into a real story, I think that other students my age could identify with it and realize how our computer lives (because they still continue) are both an advantage and a disadvantage. There is a controversy raging about whether or not instant messaging is positive, because it encourages kids to write, or negative because of the spelling and grammar concerns. More studies have to be done, they say, comparing earlier generations' writing with today's youth.
I believe my story would be successful, because the readers could identify with it. It may also raise some debates. Also, the kids probably have their...
Technology in Film Fred Ott was the very first movie star that every existed. His brief starring role in the five-second film that showed him sneezing started the use of technology to make films. Since then, technology both in and out of film has changed immeasurably and what technology is used and is said about technology in these same films has evolved quite a lot and the statements sometimes made are
The first was instant photography, where both photographer (and human subject) could sample their image immediately. The second was digital photography, with a different -- and less expensive -- type of instant image. Garn observes that Polaroid's instant film led the way to an even more immediate film processing technique: the digital image. "Ironically, this alternative hastened the demise of Polaroid" (Garn). Current Status of the Technology The current status of Polaroid
Response Yes, technology generates problems, and it is shrewd and apt to point out that for every net gain to certain members of society via technology there is a net loss. The hand weavers of the 18th century were put out of business by 19th century factories that could manufacture clothing cheaply, computers have probably collectively caused the art of calligraphy to die, and made even professional writers overly reliant on
Hopefully the school she chooses to attend will have similar resources. Some sources Mary may find useful include the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) website [www.ada.gov], the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, which has resources for people who have suffered traumatic brain injury [http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/tbi/tbi.htm].

If Americans continue to live as if technology is the most important thing, then there will be no technology and no improved quality of life for future generations. The scientist Wesselman underlines Nainoa's words with statistics, that current data on global warming suggests that the earth's increasing overall temperatures have exceeded normal expectations of variation in climate fluctuation (216). "The warming [trend] since 1957" when careful records began to
Technology, Transportation, and Society - Then, Now and the Near Future Technology, transportation and society are three areas that are interlinked. Technology determines what transportation will exist. The transportation that exists determines how we will live and the nature of our society also determines what transportation is created. Transportation systems have developed considerably in the last century, giving us the society we currently have. The major development in the last few decades
