Education
In the article written by Tod Gitlin it explains how it is time for the education system to adjust. For they must now take in to consideration that unlike the past kids are now exposed to a vast amount of technology. All of these technological advancements such as television, Snapchat, and Google have adjusted the way kids process information. For now they are so use to receiving all of their information quick and unfiltered they do not fully recognize what of which they are being told is garbage or important. They are flooded with so much information so swiftly, and if they are watching television at the touch of a button can move on to be bambarded with more. This is why the education system needs to be adjusted, to help this generation of kids and the future generations learn to gain and comprehend the lessons they are being taught. As well as learn to not loose interest in the topic they are being taught in less than a few minutes.

I agree with what you are saying Alaya. Our times have changed significantly and it's about social media 24/7. However, we take advantage of the fact that social media is at the touch of our hands and we soon believe everything to be true. One effect technology has had on education is it made us evolve into a new way and education needs to evolve along with it. Us students tend to loose focus easily and changing the education system to more of an up to date pace will help us stay focused and interested.
