Technology has influenced modern life in many ways and with every advancement; people may find themselves wondering how these things are possible. Wireless devices are used constantly every day from medical professionals to the average individual. However, society may eventually suffer adverse effects from the excessive use of wireless technological devices, including for educational purposes. While it's no surprise that digital media can take learning experiences to another level and spark creativity in students too, this type of learning doesn't come without great costs. Higher education writer Mark Blankenship says that although students who have specific learning needs can learn at their own pace and also take responsibility for their own educational needs, extra training is needed for teachers to become more media literate ( 40.) Furthermore, oral participation and sharing in the classroom will tend to occur less due to the loss of personal contact (Blankenship 41.) However, the use of social media in the classroom for some students is just not a valid way to participate in the classroom but an equally essential tool for career preparation (Blankenship 41). Being able to complete tasks in a timely manner is helpful in most professions. Therefore, multitasking has become necessary to keep up with the hectic pace that most people face on a daily basis. Having the ability to participate in multiple things at once is somewhat considered a talent until you consider the downside of how impersonal the outcome can be (Wallis, Cole, Steptoe, and Dale 3). While research shows that wireless technology is beneficial in the workplace and in schools, perhaps the main concern is its effect on individual interaction... in the middle of paper... it will rot your brain, it's what if you won't, it will ruin your life. (8) The invention of wireless technology would improve modern life in many ways; however, the lack of limitations in use will make life more difficult.
