Whereas reading the local newspaper or reading a classic novel like “The Great Gatsby” by F Scott Fitzgerald would provide a more intellectual purpose. Goldwasser believes that teenagers look up websites that are educational, that is not the case. A lot of time that is spent on the internet is used on social networking sites. Goldwasser also mentions that parents often go to their teenager for help when it comes to modern technology. I would have to agree with her statement but argue that perhaps parents should ask for help on how to use the technology itself.

Ludden uses a serious and factual tone towards her audience and reader’s to try and convince them on how to decrease the use of technology within teens. After reading the article, I have come to realize that teen only use their cell phones for the latest gossip going around or for social media, but sometimes there are ways teens find their cell phones to be useful in their lives. One reason is that teens find it easier to get their work done by using their cell phones to communicate with their friends to get what the missed out on. For example, contacting a friend or classmate to get the latest homework assignments when they are sick or just what the teacher had explained is how teens find their cell phones being useful in their everyday life. Additionally, sometimes it could be a good thing to find out the rumors or gossip going around because it could be about them or one of their friends.
From my own personal experience, I think adolescents, as they grow older, eventually start to find their own identity, relationships, and groups goes hand in hand with their ability to separate from their parents. They want to be independent and start doing their own thing. What better place to start doing it than the internet, considering that a lot of parents seem to be computer illiterate. The fascinating thing about the internet is that, it’s a place where adolescents feel like they can fulfill their needs of a pioneering, adventurous spirit. One of the many reasons why the internet is so enticing is because; they can meet new people, explore the world, and do exciting things on it.
So I have to persuade teenagers by starting with a story and I want them know have knowledge about social media. And they will know when to use their time to socialize, know how to keep them self-safe from bullying and if they are the bullying, they will stop bullying others. For parents, they always think that social media is a bad thing but after having knowledge about it, they will stop thinking negative thoughts and teach their kids about things that are positive and negative and they will even have fun time doing social media with their family. And for the church leader they are pretty much the same as parents because they care about teenagers. After learning the good things about socializing, they will
Teenagers of America are obsessed with social networking sites and online gaming. Literally right this second thousands of little kids are becoming obese from little to no physical activity in their daily lives. Parents aren’t helping the matter either, whether it’s because they’re uninformed or they just don’t care about getting their children involved; they aren’t doing their jobs as parents of America. This is not teaching their children to grow up to be incredible leaders of our country. According to source A, “Community Service embodies experiential learning, locating a moral center, community health, because it is about empowerment and making the world a better place…” Yet, each day kids are becoming lazier and lazier because they don’t understand the importance of volunteer work and community service.
In the argument “Tapping into Text Messaging” by Janet Kornblum, says teens, techies and other early adopters leading the charge to text say it is a great way to communicate when they are too busy to talk or when making a call would be rude or impractical. Just like being in the class room when there is an important incoming call, texting back is a more necessary way to get back to the person instead of disrupting the class and wasting learning time. Texting only takes a few seconds to do and could turn a 10 minute phone conversation into a 1 minute conversation. Text messaging can easily be discreet while being in the class room if turned off or on silent. As long as the student remembers to do so, their phone will not cause a distraction in class.
With advancements in technology, some students have chosen to complete their schoolwork through the Internet, rather than in traditional classrooms. Those who support a traditional classroom approach to learning argue that it provides more of an opportunity for students to interact with the teacher and other students. Those who feel that learning over the Internet is better argue that it allows students to learn anytime and anywhere they choose. Do you feel education is better provided in traditional classrooms or when offered over the Internet? Write an essay to be read by a classroom teacher in which you persuade the reader that either traditional classroom education or Internet-based learning is better.With advancements in technology, some students have chosen to complete their schoolwork through the Internet, rather than in traditional classrooms.
Since so much of what we use in everyday life involves technology, it is only fair to introduce our youth to it and get them accustomed to using it frequently. People never send handwritten letters anymore, that’s partially why companies like the USPS was considering reducing the amount of days they deliver. Majority of people are using email, social networking and phones to communicate. Not only is it easier, but more efficient and allows us complete more tasks since “everything is happening much faster, and more things are happening” (Source C). Not only will it help students in the future, it’ll also make learning more compelling, after all students do prefer “glitz and pictures” and “video and stylish packaging” (Source E).
On the other hand, he must take into account how the importance of technology to adolescents has resulted in a more diverse, independent group of thinkers who can develop thoughts and tone from their liberated exploration of an abundance of information. If one asserts that twenty-first century teens are revolving their lives around the fun, more entertaining aspects of technology, another can easily examine the positive effects of social networking and the internet. Even if an action like writing a post on Facebook seem useless, it still increases the amount of writing a person publishes in their lifetime. Due to the wide availability of technology, it is a useful product of the present that ultimately allows for the youth of society to expand and construct advanced
