Complex Claim In Conversation

The convenience of technology has affected American’s education system negatively because there are too many choices for learning yet too little reinforcement on validating what our students learn. Moreover, the distraction to this generation caused by mishandling the technologies and electronics has become a valid concern. With over dependency on the technologies, students develop alarming habits such as laziness and impatience.
As most of the schools in America moving forward to utilizing internet technologies or electronic devices to help teachers to teach and student to learn, ideally, everyone should be able to effectively do the researches or accessing knowledge freely. In his article” What Would Socrates Say?” Peter W. Cookson Jr. urges us to “overhaul and redesign the current school system.” Cookson has his point that in a perfect world as he is hoping for, learning, discussing and sharing knowledge without boundary is definitely possible. However, Cookson’s assertion that learning together peacefully global-wide does not fit the reality for now. There are so many tribulations to work though before we can realistically get even close to there; such as poverty, war, or racialism. In my view, however, technologies definitely has improve our life style. It brought efficiency and convenience to human race like never before. The film “A Vision of Students Today” made by the Anthropology professor, Michael Wesch, and his students are silent as they express themselves with notes on the paper or on the laptop screens. Many of them admits their ignorance by acknowledging their increasingly usage of the internet technology even when they are in the class. I happen to sympathize with the silent students, though, perhaps because I think the body languages of these young generation implies the increasing frustrations. The students express their wonders and concerns about what they are learning is actually relevant to their life. I also sense the lack of energy, interaction, and enthusiasm among the students in the film.
Despondently, it seems like there are often dreadful consequences come with every superior invention.
