Second Place -- Are you too plugged in?
By Khadra Mohamed, 21, Lincoln International
Am I plugged in? Of course, I am. Technology plays a big role in my life. Every aspect of my life has some kind of technology connected to it.
When I am at home, I watch TV. At school, I go to the computer to do my work and check my emails. When I am walking, I listen to my iPod or MP3. At work, I use text messages. When I am doing class work, homework or a project, I use my computer.
Technology has both a negative and positive part. Sometimes I can get in trouble with technology. For example, when I am in class, it is not allowed to send text message to people. Teachers have taken the phone. Also, while we are doing school projects with the computer, we cannot use things such as YouTube, Facebook, and Gmail.
Technology strikes our mind and brains so that we no longer memorize anything. It makes everything easy and people become so lazy that nobody is trying to reach a goal. I can finish all of my degrees online now days. Technology doesn’t provide a realistic experience.
On the other side, technology plays a positive role in my life. I talked to my relatives back home like they are with me. When I am going to somewhere, I use Yahoo maps or GPS to find directions.
In conclusion, technology has both negative and positive aspects. We cannot neglect the negative. We need to balance through our daily operations with technology. I must control the technology and not let the technology control me.

I agree with her . I think it does have a good & bad side to it , Like you can do your work or you can look at your classwork/homework , grades , mostly everything that has to do with school . But then its also bad because your on it everyday on facebook , youtube , or your mail . & we are getting addicted to it , So i think all we need is a brake .
i think That Technology Is Good Computers Are Only For School Websites, But Students Might Surf The Web. While They 're In Class Or Where Ever They Might Pull Out There Selff Phone & Text Somebody ! It Can Distract You From Thinkin ' Or Doin Whtt Uuu Need To Do! " Technology Plays A Big Role In Our Lives

Are You Too Plugged In?

I think that technology is good and bad in many different ways.
I think being on the internet for when you need something that has to do with your school work. I also think that some people are misusing the technology by using to much of it when you don’t need it.

I agree with the author. The author said everything I would have said if I was interviewed. I do use technology a lot. I use it when im at school on the computer, when im at home I text. just like the author does.Although technology is a good thing and a bad thing. We have to learn how to control technology. Not technology controls us.
I agree with this person because , we do need a break from technology ! But it is still good in different ways (:
I do use it a lot because i get very very very very BORED . Yeah aha , but we have to learn how to deal with it. Like when to use it at appropriate times , and not let it affect your mood. We could still use it for important things , like research (:
I agree the auther she is right we have to controll the technology and dont let technlogy control us
