<p>Hi, i couldn’t think of any historical/literary examples. :[</p>
<p>Prompt: Is Modern Technology truly improving the quality of our lives?</p>
<p>Modern technology is on its apex nowadays. The innate desire of striving for convenience resulted too much technology advancement that, instead of improving our lives, degrades our lives. A personal experience of mine clearly demonstrates that technology can be harmful and degrading</p>
<p>In xxxxxxxxx Junior High School in XXXX,Alabama, every student is given a laptop. The purpose of the laptop was to advocate further learning via technology, thus increasing the opportunity for education. When i first got the laptop, i was disappointed with all the restrictions: many of the websites were “blocked.” I though i would never be able to use it for an entertainment purpose. However, the students of my school proved me wrong.</p>
<p>Within a week or so, the game “Ninja Jump” was spreading among the laptops of students. In every class, students, including me, played the game continuously. Then, within a month, the simple flash-game had been replaced by a well-known game “Halo” and a role-playing online game “Last Chaos.” Every student in the school figured out a way to avoid the restrictions and played games. Because of the games and the laptops, many of the students received unfavorable report cards. I, myself, was extremely disappointed with the grades i received. Then, i decided not to use the laptop anymore to get out from the abyss of games.</p>
<p>The next report card was satisfying: all A’s. After replacing the technology wih “old-fashioned” papers and pencils, i received better grades. Some who decided to make some change like me succeeded as well, but those who were adamant received another unfavorable report cards. Because of the technology, the students began to score less on their tests. However, when some students simply refused to use the technology, those students earned better grades. Thus, technology, instead of advocating additional learning, caused and tempted the students to play games.</p>
<p>From the personal experience, one can extrapolate that technology and modern advancements do not “truly” improve the quality of our lives. In fact, technology can ,indeed, at times degrade the quality of our lives. </p>
<p>Please give me the score out of 12! and criticisms and tips please!!
i know i should’ve used a historical or literary but i just couldn’t think of one and the time was passing by. :[[</p>
