Nope.

:), I believe you know my answer.

Wow, Just wow :D Maybe^^

Do you think the change I made fits?

Yes.

"while technology has a lot of good attributes…" Calling someone, fine. Why do we need 5 social media sites? Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Skype, SnapChat. Many people have all of them.

Apparently we have a misunderstanding. I am not saying that 8 hours is not a school day. I am not saying that the entire world population couldn't go a day without their phones. All I am saying is that, in my school at least, seeing as that is where the most people in my life are, many people check their phones during the schooldays. I can not speak for the entire world populace but many people could not go a single day without an electronic device of some sort. Also, my main article is about the entire world. 96% of the world's population does have access to a personal device or some sort. I am merely using my school as an example because that is where I know the most people.

I did not go with a rhyme because I had this prewritten and I am not that good with rhymes.

For one, you are not in my school. For two, I said half the people. Many people have phones in their lockers and do not use them through the school day but then go on the second school is out. Also, 8 hours is not an entire day.

Ok, now we are going off topic. If you would like to continue narrowing it down in a PM, we can. Otherwise you have a long time to go before you can figure out where I am. Please stay on topic.

Ok, well I thought I replied to this. Apparently not. Thank you. Your suggestions really helped.

Ok, I would like to see half the people in my school go off of their phones for one day. Phones and the internet are just as bad as smoking and other drugs.

The first few comments state that I am talking about "Personal devices, not technology as a whole. Many aspects of technology are good. However, many people check their phones and Facebook every two minutes. Also, spears and armor are necessities for protection. Facebook, Twitter, and the internet breach safety. Think about how many houses would not be robbed if a person didn't post "Me and my family are going to dinner this evening from 6-9. We are taking our dog with us." That is a complete breach of safety seeing as how, if a person know your name, a potential robber would know when you will be out of your house.

:D

Ok, one continent eliminated, 6 more to go.

Yes. Seeing as how in schools, at least mine, even though the principal says not to have your phone, people have their phones within the field of vision of the teacher. I do not dislike technology as a whole just the fact that the second people have free time, the are on their phone. Many people, if they were not on their phones all the times, could be great writers. But instead, texts like "LOL, dat is funy" that do not use grammar, spelling, or punctuation, dull the brain to that level. As I said above, Yes I am. Technology is a good thing. It saves a lot of people from having to work to the brink of death. However, Why do we need the "Newest Stuff" which will be replaced in what, a year?

With millions of Main Streets and tan houses on them? Really?

And how exactly does that have anything to do with this parkour club?

I Am From I am from the tan house on Main St, from chairs and couches I am from the computer and keyboard Homework then games I am from the flowers behind our house The tree whose long lost limbs I remember as my own, From "Make your bed and do your homework!" I am from Mom and Dad, From reading and playing and from family gatherings I am from “You used to always like playing with soccer balls and basketballs, when you were younger,” I am from "Do not jump on the bed!" I am from helping and sharing and from bike rides down Leffingwell Rd I am from trolling for fish, My dad seeing a giant musky I am from Cleveland and Philadelphia I am from the pictures I have stored in my closet, keeping memories never to be lost.

Technology (Personal Devices) ¨Out of the world’s estimated 7 billion people, 6 billion have access to mobile phones. Only 4.5 billion have access to working toilets.¨, A quote from Times News. This quote is disheartening. Technology has woven its way into civilization. It has gone so far that more people have phones then they do toilets! A toilet is a necessity, a phone is not. Technology should be a convenience, not a necessity. When it was first invented, technology was only a convenience. Over the years that technology became more advanced, it has become more of a necessity. A complete ban on technology would put even a school into chaos. However, according to a study by the London School of Economics, schools that ban students from carrying phones see a clear improvement in their test scores. When people give up their phones to authority, they can focus better because there is not that constant threat of a text or a new post on facebook or twitter. “But there are many good things to technology. How would we build some of the buildings we do without it?” someone against my argument might say. While this response to my essay might be true, I am not saying we need to completely stop using technology. We only need to put it back to a convenience. If we can not live for a week without technology, we are helpless. If we did not have to spend money on technology, imagine how much money the US would have. 96% of the world’s population has a technological device of some sort. What about the other 4%? They are living on streets and are poor. Many people could give up one of their devices and still have more so why can’t we give to other nations to stop their homelessness and poverty. Why are we so addicted to technology that we spend millions of dollars buying it? Money that could be used to stop poverty and famine. Money that could be used to send water to drought stricken nations. There are many good attributes to technology, however, there are also many negative points to it. I know that many people would throw out the idea of less technology the second they see it. I know that some people are attached to technology so much that separation is impossible. Even so, technology is a hindering factor to sociality and friendship. I do not know how people can sleep with 15 personal devices when they know that 4% of the world does not have a single technological advantage. If we are so self indulged as to not see past the curtain of technology, we are helpless.
