In Karl Fisch’s What If the students are not permitted to use cell phones in school and that all electronics will take away from learning. The video shows our progression over time and how technology has become a big role of education over time. Since technology is not permitted in school then how will we be allowed to use laptops for research or papers, and if we keep our homework on our phone what will we do. If all electronics are not allowed in school then how will we use computers for notes. The teacher also runs class most of the time on a computer and projector. This matters to me because if all electronics are not allowed then I won’t be able to use our laptops in English or take notes off of the projector in social studies. Schools are always bragging about how they are becoming more technologically advanced but then tell us to put all electronic away. To me it seems very contradicting. To education, if all technology is banned then everything the schools have worked up to is gone and we won’t be able t use computers or projectors. The banning of all electronics will hinder education more than it will help. Many schools depend on technology for learning but if it is not allowed anymore many students will not do as well. To the world, if all technology was banned there would be mass chaos because there would be no source of communication. People would not be able to e mail or call on cell phones traffic lights would be destroyed and there would be more crashes. If all electronics are banned we would move back in time and would be like the stone age. If electronics are banned in school, than is school in the stone age.
