Test and Open Task

New technology in students academic
Thursday April 28
Has technology affected students and their sports performance?

Now a days, the techonology has been an equipment for sports, because it has been growing day by day making a chance in the training, helping the students to make better their physical and movement performance. Not also in sports has been a help, also in academic grades.

Technology these days is everywhere, there's no place were you are disconnected from it, now that the school is using this as a tool to teach better to their students, some of them aren't benefited by these changes, the tools are harder to use and the use of the brain memory isn't practiced at all, making the students addictive to this tool because of the need to an easier way to solve their problems. They are using a tool were with only a few clicks you got the correct answer. By doing this students forget the structure of the assigment, if you ask them to do it without the tool, they won't be able enough to do it or get the correct answer.  But in a certain way, now the technology is something that you must know how to use, if you wanna do something big or to get somewhere you wanna go to, to make everything easier and to not fail in something that you can do right, only clicking a couple of buttons and without stressing yourself because you don't get the correct answer. This is also happening in sports where now, for example in rugny, you get like a robot that moves in all directions and you have to tackle him, or in the t-shirt you have a chip that knows how much you run, your heart conditions and a lot of things more. The main use of technology is to make your life easier and that is passing to sports, now you can know more about what you do in the game or, how you can get better results by training with technology tools.

Finally, the technology is being a big part of our life, helpins¿g us to upgrade our things and not to affect us by using those tools, only to get off from problems that could be fixed by some clicks and in a minor time.

Section B

Today I was on my way home, listening to music on Spotify and a song of Jim Morrison was on my list, and in the photo appeared a phrase of him that said ¨Whoever controls the media, controls the mind¨, and I remembered that you used to say that phrase every time you were on the internet.

Somehow, this phrase has a lot to think of because technology now adays is basically everything. A lot of people got persuaded with the information that is on the website, and not everything you see is true. The power that a website can have is impressive, the people can be famous for only uploading a video. A lot of things can change on the website and the fake information is everywhere, it can make you think a whole different way than the real information. For example, you create Spotify and upload a playlist, by the name of the genre but you are wrong about the genre, now the people that listens to that playlist would think that that is the genre, but they will be wrong. You can play with their mind and make them think a different thing because they saw it on the internet and they think that they can trusty in every thing they see.

By telling you this I hope they make a change and don't believe or make other people believe everything they see on social media.
