Technology has both enhanced and hindered my education in a numerous amount of ways. Technology has been beneficial to my education in a number of ways, from small things like calculators for solving difficult math problems to more complex things like computer programs that can correct your grammar and spelling. Technology has also been damaging to mine and many others education from time wasted surfing the web or playing games while our school work is in another tab. Many people multitask repeatably. In the short reading Youll Never Learn! by Annie Murphy Paul she claims when students multitask their learning becomes much spottier and shallower. I agree with Miss Pauls statement based off of my own personal experience. I no longer multitask while I study due to the fact that it takes me much longer to finish and I dont feel like I retain the information as well if I had sat down and finished it all at once. From a young age I have struggled with my attention so I have learned the best way to get things done is to do one task at a time. Overall I agree with Annie Murphy Paul, if students dont learn to sit down and finish tasks all at once without distraction they will never learn the information as well as the last generation.
