Growing up digital

<p>I’m a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge advocate of technology, ESPECIALLY in schools.</p>

<p>My school runs entirely on Google Drive. We have zero paper handouts as of this year. It’s wonderful. We even have beautiful new Chromebooks to do everything on.</p>

<p>And all that makes my life a lot easier. I don’t take a backpack to school anymore. Everything is online for me.</p>

<p>Plus, it’s a long story, but my philosophy is that communication is becoming a more necessary skill in this descent into the digital age…so if, in school, students learn how to communicate digitally through social media, email, and websites, it’s all the better for employers, college, etc.</p>

<p>I love seeing people ignoring authority and being on their phones…imagine the power they have at their fingertips. With one click, they can tell all their friends about an issue they care about. They can raise awareness thousandfold just by making an event on Facebook and asking their friends to share it.</p>

<p>Sooooo much power is contained within technology that is completely untapped.</p>
