The other day my alarm on my phone wakes me up, I turn the alarm off and then check my messages, Facebook, and maybe skim through Instagram. As i get ready for school I put pandora on on my phone and listen to music. On my way to school I check my phone once to see if my good morning message to my sweet heart was replied to and it was, so I tell him I am about to go to my yoga class and I will text him later. After yoga, I went to the library to work on an assignment for a class, so i spend about ten minutes skimming through facebook and talking to my sweet heart. I checked my phone seven more times during the rest of the school day. Once I got home, i spent some time surfing through my phone doing the three main things. I pulled out my phone about ten more times before i went to work. At work, I never take out my phone. When I got home from work i checked my phone another 14 times before i finally fell asleep at 2 am. All together I approximate 40 times I pulled out my phone during this day.

Out of all the interviews I conducted, saying that a classic setting verses a technological setting would be more appropriate to avoid distractions. Imagine a classroom were cell phones were extremely banned, like going back to high school and couldn't have your phone out. If everyone just stuck to pen and paper and no access to the internet, then people would have nothing but there brains to distract them. In college, you walk into a class where every one is suppose to working on a report yet you see so many student surfing the web.

This interview was conducted to demonstrate how learning in a classic classroom environment is better than being accessible to information through technology. There are far too many distractions on the internet.

I had three videos for my interviews but I am technical difficulties. Two gentlemen expressed their opinion about how technology is a large distraction from learning in school. Even though technology helps us access information a lot faster, the social networking is also easily accessible, making it more difficult to concentrate on work.
 

One of the interviews I conducted on school campus about the effects of technology being used for school.

I tend to keep an equal balance between the amount of time I spend looking at a screen with how much time I spend staying away from technology. I catch myself looking at my phone all the time; waiting for a new video update from Crazy Fights on facebook, waiting for a messege from a friend, and/or skimming through pictures on facebook and instagram. My attention span does decrease when im anticipating a conversation with a friend on my phone. Even just being on a computer for too long encourages me to be distracted with anything going on on other web sites. Once technology becomes taxing I stubornly turn away and go for a walk or read a book, until I realize im still listening to music on my ipod. 

I am a student at Arizona Western college and I use technology non stop. Teachers require the use of technology on a regular basis to submit homework, do an assignment, watch an important clip, or to keep in touch through e-mails. I have never been a big fan of technology. When I use pen and paper, thoughts flow a lot easier for me rather than starring at a key board and a monitor, yet everyday i have to spend time to get use to the internet. On a more personal level i use technology to keep in touch with friends, family, and my significant other. Facebook always comes in handing in trying to find out what everyone's up to. When i decide to get people together and can post one thing on facebook that all my friends will see to make it more convenient for everyone to get together.
