I read "The Last of Its Kind" about the advancements of technology and the fast improving size, mobility and help that these materials bring. Before the computer, we had typewriters with one font where now a days there are hundreds of them to chose from. Also you can now keep a laptop in your backpack when back then you would have to lug it around with you. These small advancements are opening new companies and closing many others. Soon a new, easier way to do something will come out and companies will have to make a choice, to change and create the new thing or eventually be shut down. Technology will always be evolving and improving which is fascinating because you never know what is going to come out next.

I read "On the Other Hand" and this rings true to me in a way because is has become obvious that my generation is far to attached to material objects than necessary. Everywhere i look i see electronics, even my grandpa has started to text and rely on electronics. We need to take a step back out of our electronic world and see how nice things would be without them. I do rely on electronics such as my phone and computer a little bit but my day does not revolve around them. They can cause car crashes and keep you form your education which is not the intention of these materials. I think we should use them for what they were meant for which is research.

I read "Are We Wasting Children?" and completely agree with you because schools cant kill off students. Sacrificing students education to give the school a better reputation is never right, even if it means an increase in school funding. If your nightmare came true then we would be under a lot more pressure in school which students definitely do not need anymore of. Also if your nightmare came true, i might get kicked out of my high school but luckily our teachers are giving us the perfect tools to succeed it just depends on if you are willing to try. Since a percentage of students will drop out of high school anyway, it wouldn't be right to get rid of even more students.
