...Positive Effects of Mobile Phones at School Having a backward perspective from the past up to the present, development on lifestyle and technology is definitely seen tangibly. With the mobile phones increasing demand on younger generation, there are positive effects towards the academic status of the students. From just a slow-paced communication system to a fast and advance method of communicating, all individuals are affected especially the younger generation which include students in schools. Technology has advanced beyond our wildest dreams in the past years. Schools have always struggled with the issue of making policies to control the latest and greatest technology used by students. Years ago schools struggled with pagers or beepers because they had a stigma of being linked to drug activity. Then the cell phone came on the scene and schools were overwhelmed with the task of trying to control the use of cell phones by students. Today, cell phones and other devices are used by millions of people across the country. Cell Phone technology has advanced to the point where they have the functions and capacity of a computer, allowing students and adults to access the internet, music, take pictures, send messages, etc. A controversy has arisen of whether educators and administrators should embrace cell phone technology and create lessons using the cell phone or continue to restrict use of cell phones during school hours. This has been the major issue towards adapting the new...

...in the educational system. It can hinder their thought process and they rely on technology more than they do their own personal ability. In theory it does not help the students in the long run, because the more they rely on technology the more they will not be able to go on ad live by themselves. Candace Gilmore and Charles Halcomb state that over the last ten years technology has been increasing in the classrooms dramatically. With the increasing technology teachers have to learn how to use them correctly and teach the students the same. “The fear that students will become lazy and rely on the technology at hand is not a big concern for many people” states Halcomb. The parents of the students see this as an opportunity to grow in their knowledge. What the parents do not know is that the students will come out to find the advantages of having technology and use it in the wrong way. They will slack off in class with texting, Facebook, and twitter. These few things are all apps on an iPod, iPhone, or any other smartphone. The teachers do not appreciate the usage of the cellphone in class. Diane Ravitch states that “We have neglected to teach them that one cannot think critically without a quite a lot of knowledge to think about.” Ravitch is a research professor of education at New York University (303). Professor Ravitch has published numerous books such as The Language Police: How Pressure Groups restrict what...

...PARADIGM SHIFT: Cellphone Batteries INTRODUCTION The world has seen a lot of changes in communication technology. In 1973, the first cell phone call was made with a prototype, 10 years later, the first cellphones were released. Up to that time everyone had a landline and as the years went on, we had 1G, 2G, 3G and now, 4G, and 5G is being talked about in the not so distance future. As good as the technology was, there was still a problem that plagued all of this wonderful technology and that was the means by which the technology operated, “the battery”. The first cellphone battery only lasted 20 minutes and took 24 hours to recharge. However, at that time, it was not a problem because the phone weighed 1.1kg (2.42 lbs.), you were not able to hold the phone up to your ear for much longer than 20 minutes. The battery has not been able to keep up with the speed and function of the cellphone. However, that may soon change, people are working constantly to bring a fix for the battery so we can truly bring the cellphone into the 21st century. Just think of the possibilities! PARAGRAPH 1 Traveling well can be one of life's great pleasure, whether you're alone or with friends and family. The Pocket Power plus it's a perfect backup power device for camping, fishing, hunting, hiking, picnicking, boating, motorcycling, beach activities, trips to remote locations and more.

...adept. However, some technological advances cause people to be distracted, overly stressed, and increasingly isolated. Many people are involved in an abundant number of relationships through technology, but sometimes the quantity of these associations leaves people feeling qualitatively empty. Obviously, technology has had a profound impact on what it means to be social. Today, the concept of an educated person includes an element of technological literacy. Technology offers broad tools that extend human capabilities. In contemporary society, the bond between human and technology goes to very extent level, and this is must be carefully examined in order for us to keep in perspective the scope of technological variation, the scope of its effects globally, the complexity and interdependence of advanced technological sub systems, and technology’s value and place in society. We can’t deny the fact...

...Draft as of April 5, 2016 Dated back in 1834, the Morse code was invented in which information was sent and received through an electrical instrument, called the telegraph. Then in 1876, Graham Bell invented the telephone, a device in which transmits information through sounds (voices) over long distances. Two decades later Marconi solved the problem for sending information without the wires, and thus radio and television were born. Moving forward to the 20th century, ENIAC, the first possible computer was made. (Chatterjee, 2014) From there, the world tried to merge together these technology to serve as a source of information and mode of communication. Cellular phones, by definition of Merriam Webster, is a small, portable telephone that people can take with them and use outside their homes. Presently, cell phones are much more than that. To the point, individuals take them whenever or wherever. Due to the improvement and development of cell phones it has risen to popularity. Similar to everything else, it has its advantages and drawbacks. As cell phones continue to rise into fame and stay constantly into lives of individuals, it also continues to change the way of living, gradually. Comparing technology from two centuries before and technology today, drastic changes can be seen. Changes that includes the of impact cell phones to the society, which consists of both positive and negative sides. Initially cell phones were invented...

...with the possible effects that might happen to these when technology is being used extensively. On the later part of the chapter are the gathered articles and case studies done by various researchers. Text Messaging Effects on Writing Texting feature in mobile phones has become a “God’s gift” for most of the people. This feature made this communication very convenient to everyone. It has become an important part of the daily lives of people, especially to the Filipinos. According to AHN Media Corp (2010), the Philippines has been tagged as the “texting capital of the world”. Many Filipinos exchange text messages with the use of their mobile phones. People have become frequent texters, and they have started sending messages in shortened ways. This problem cropped up with the innovation of this new technology, and its possible effects on the students’ language proficiency. The language proficiency of the students are important for effective communication. Language, according to McKee (1939), will successfully help people in different activities, which involve communication, various types of interaction, or even writing. Whether we are students or not, there is a need to use language appropriately. McKee goes on to say that the ability to write effectively is still important regardless of the influential and incredible effects of technology on man’s activities (p.3). One of the most common issues of text messaging is its effects on education. Some...

...Ashley Fuell Marissa Campbell English 121 May 6, 2014 Is Texting Making Us Dumb? Almost everyone I know over the age of twelve years old owns a cellphone and uses it to communicate through text message. Add to that the large amount of people who use email and social media, and it’s clear that we depend a lot on technology to communicate with each other. In order to make these methods more efficient and immediate, a form of tech speak has developed and due to frequent, constant use, has begun to creep into the school classrooms. Tech speak is a form of slang that shortens words to make text messaging faster. It also includes emoticons, a way of using punctuation marks to make a picture of a face or whatever the user wants to form. Technology is making us bad spellers with the use of spell checkers and autocorrect. This texting lingo is also damaging our youth’s written language skills because students are finding it increasingly difficult to switch between using tech speak and proper grammar. Further, texting is hindering students’ abilities to focus in class, hurting their grades. Finally, college entrance officers are reporting application essays with tech speak and acronym shortcuts being submitted by prospective students that end up causing the student to be denied entrance to the college. Tech speak is becoming increasingly more evolved and complex in its own way. Students who use tech speak, or texting lingo, tend to ignore punctuation and capitalization rules, use...

...Positive and Negative Impacts of Technology among BSIT Students of Iloilo State College Of Fisheries Barotac Nuevo Campus Chapter I Introduction Background of the Study The rise of technology in the classroom opened up new doors for educators, who saw the potential for computer use and the incorporation of multimedia elements to engage and motivate students. This innovative educational structure used video production software and the World Wide Web to move lecture presentations out of the classroom, while it brought more interactive and intellectually demanding activities in Technological advances in education have been many over the last 50 years. As we look back just 20 years ago, computers were not common place inside the classroom let alone in the household. Imagine what students thought about using a word processor versus electric typewriter word processors or even using the archaic manual typewriter. In contrast, today students and children are considered digital natives. According to Wikipedia, digital natives are described as having grown up with digital technology such as the internet, computers, cellphones and MP3 players. Having a computer in every household as well as every school has exponentially increased student’s awareness of technology and also broadened their horizons about the global economy. Students today use cell phones that can do almost anything imaginable such as getting real time updates on their bank accounts, download information off the internet...

...------------------------------------------------- Top of Form Effects of Technology on Education By Anton Lebedev | Submitted On January 22, 2010 4 1 Education has changed significantly in the last twenty years. One of the main reasons education has undergone so many changes is because of technological development. In 1990, computers and other forms of technology served a minimal role in the classroom. Today, many if not most college students attend class with a laptop. I am writing about some of the biggest advantages technology gave to education. Technology has made research much easier. Before online Encyclopedias, Google Scholar, JSTOR, and other online research tools were available, students were forced to spend numerous hours in the library. With the new tools, students can conduct research faster in the comfort of their homes. With Google and other search engines, students can find relevant information faster and more efficiently. Also, there is no more need for intensive memorization as information is more readily available. New also technology allows for a faster, more efficient, and more interactive classroom experience. With Powerpoint presentations and projectors, there is no need for blackboards and whiteboards. With clickers, students can take quizzes during the classroom. These developments also help improve tutoring services. Online tutoring programs are becoming available. One-on-one in-home tutoring programs are also being aided these developments. Tutors...
