When it comes to me, I use technology when it comes to the majority of my classes. Every class, except for one, requires me to use my computer either to write essays, keep data, or do online homework. My psych class is the one time of the day where I do not use any form of technology because my professor prefers us writing our notes in class because that way, we can processes the information more. When it comes to having to be on my computer, I rarely to never try to go outside of my school work unless I have to look something up. I feel like my computer is more of my educational network, whereas, my phone is where I get most of my entertainment from. For the classes that require the computer, I am mostly on it the bulk of the period. My classes range from 50 minutes to 2 hours and 50 minutes, and for having multiple classes a day and having to be on my computer during that time, it supports the fact that I use technology a lot during the day. Even outside of class, all my homework assignments are on blackboard, which means I have to spend even more time on a screen. This sometimes leads to me having headaches at the end of the day.

For my personal preference, I wish that this was limited. I understand that for classes, teachers want us to be on technology, but I wish that the homework we were given was more on paper. I know in high school, I barely had any online assignments, which I wish was the same for college. There are even sometimes where a teacher gives us the option to print or read online, and a mostly choose to print because it gives me time away from technology for a little while. With the world being so devoted to this technology era, I feel that the amount of screen time is only going to surge, but I hope that the more articles that are put online and the more news about phone and computers taking us over will show some of the educator that this is a serious issue and they will start to respond by having less online work.

From this all, there are sometimes that I do feel like computers are beneficial during classes. They keep us organized, it keeps our information save, and it allows us to look up information we do not know. I do think that we should keep using them, but I think the amount of time to use them is the factor that should be revised.
