A Fellow Student's Opinion

I decided to interview a fellow college student who has a very strong opinion on technology and the ways it affects us. I interviewed Karrissa, a sophomore here at the local college I attend. She’s been here a year longer than I have so I figured she’d have a little bit more insight on the subject discussed at hand. During this interview, I uncovered quite a few things. One of the questions I asked Karrissa was whether or not technology makes a difference in her quality of work here at school. Her answer was, “I actually do believe that technology helps me a lot more than I give it credit for. I am constantly goggling things and searching the web for questions. I don’t realize how much I rely on it for school. When it comes down to it, I guess you could say I don’t think my quality of work would be as good if I didn’t have access to all of the technology that I do.” I feel the same way as Karrissa does. Sometimes I don’t give technology as much credit as I should, when it does in fact help me a lot. Another question I asked Karrissa was what her overall view on technology was. Her response was, “I believe technology is a tool that if used properly can be a great device in helping us learn. Technology can also be bad though if used incorrectly and for the wrong purposes.” Hearing another students stand on this issue made me realize that I’m not the only person who believe that technology has its good qualities as well as downfalls.
