It makes me glad that the people who run our education system are actually striving to make the world a more accessible place for academics. It is certainly needed considering that billions of people are not given the same access to education as people here in the United States are getting. Just because a person is born in a certain region or country doesn't mean they should automatically be granted more privileges than people born somewhere else. But obviously that is how the world is, but us having the power to change systems for the better starting with things like working internet and the ability to communicate on a digital platform may be just the baby step we need to take in order to educate people.

I definitely feel these young adults in middle and high school aren't utilizing the available technology they have to the fullest. Snapchat and Instagram are two platforms that are not going to fulfill their lives how they think it is. Not only that but I feel a lot of them are taking for granted the knowledge they could have if they would just put forth some effort. All of these misleading messages that are passed around nowadays on the internet are wild. Real knowledge comes from reliable academic sources whether that be from a library because yes, those do still exist, or digitally, visit a museum, there are tons of other ways to find information that hold the truth and can be cited as a reliable source (and then maybe annotated as well:))

Learning would be so much more difficult if our school did not have internet access. I can just imagine what its like to lose internet when trying to work on an assignment, the class just stops working until it turns back on because all of our material runs digitally now. All of the benefits of being able to do schoolwork from home is an actual blessing. The efficiency and effectiveness of turning in completed work through a system such as blackboard for example is a luxury a lot of people still don't get to have all around the world.
