Interview with student

I interviewed a student at Arizona Western College about the benefits or the harms of technology. The student I interviewed is a second year college student studying to earn his teaching degree. He feels that technology helps us. His mother is a Nurse and is constantly using technology to treat patients. This is just one example of why he feels technology has helped us. He also teaches part time and encourages his students to take advantage of technology, particularly the internet to assist them with homework as much as they need. I asked him how much he uses technology (his cell phone, laptop etc..) on a daily basis. He said he is constantly on his smart phone checking his emails for work and professors for school and text messaging other people about class. He is always using his laptop to turn in assignments and work on ones that are due. I also asked if he thinks technology hurts us and to give an example. The only example he provided was society takes advantage of it in the wrong ways. I asked why he feels that way. He responded by saying "Yes I myself am on Facebook a lot, but not to the extent of leaving my kid to drown in the bath tub (he was referring to an incident that occurred three years ago when a mother was on Facebook and forgot her child was in the bathtub). People are constantly on their phones, laptops and watching TV. Some of my friends can't remember the last time they wrote a genuine letter to someone; they're relying solely on text messaging for communication. It's just sad." At the end of the interview I asked if he is for or against technology. He said "I am for technology as long as it's used in a beneficial way."

Below is a video about whether or not technology is hurting kids socially.

Here's just an image of a little survey.
