3. How has technology changed your life? I use technology for most things I do every single day, including using my iPod, doing homework or reading or playing games or programming on a laptop, using a phone, sleeping in a bed, watching TV, using a refrigerator, turing on lights, using AC, cooking food in a microwave or oven, driving in a car, waking up to an alarm clock, carrying a backpack - the list is endless. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">4. How has technology changed the way we live in the United States? (Hint: Look at question #5) <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">It takes a lot less work for us to do manual labor; machines have eliminated a lot of hard jobs, and technology has made available things we need immediately. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">5. How has technology helped to increase the gathering and learning of information? <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">It's made it easier to get information and search and filter it - so many things are instantly available. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">6. How can you prepare yourself to learn information that we don't have yet? <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">We need to learn how to learn and how to work - to put effort into everything we do. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">7.

Answer the question, "Where am I?" Since this is online, please feel free to ONLY share what you want others to see. If you do not type the full paragraph from your paper, OR you change your paragraph for this wikispace, it is okay! I do not want you to share personal information with the class. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">I'm in an improving cycle right now and I have a lot of things I want to accomplish. I like to learn about stuff on my own and I really like computers and programming. I want to go to MIT for college and I'm going to Midvale so that I can take SALTA classes and be in IB MYP. I will earn my IB Diploma in high school so I have a good chance to get into a good college. I'm going to work really hard this year.
