A Digital World

This morning I got up to start doing my homework...
My laptop battery life was at 7%.
I started searching frantically for my charger,
Finally realizing that I had left it at the internship office.
I thought it wouldn't be a big deal,
Maybe I'd just go pick it up the next day?
After I studied my scriptures,
I went to do my homework and realized there was absolutely NOTHING
for me to do with no computer.
I didn't want to start writing my essay on real paper,
Because I knew it would take twice as long and I'd have to retype the whole thing later.
I couldn't even do my readings since I needed learning suite to find out what they were.

It's amazing how much of our lives exists inside of technology.
I'm grateful for the productivity and efficiency it brings to my education.
I know that our learning is enhanced and advanced if we choose to embrace its benefits,
And minimize its distractions.
Yay for the media!

  1. I totally agree! Technology is truly a help. Writing an essay on paper would be extremely hard. If I were in that situation I would have probably started typing my essay on my phone before starting on paper. Although I have realized if I do an outline on paper first my papers are much more organized. Good luck getting your charger back.

  2. Media is so much more social, interactive, and responsive because of technology. It makes getting an education so much better, and really because of the internet everyone can have a voice about anything. Sure this means that there is junk out there, but like all the posts from this class it gives the opportunity to each of us to fill the world with positive messages.
