What did computer time mean to me?

It meant time to watch online videos, it still does. Thats exactly what I'm going to do right now...

How does technology affect education?

Pros:
Easily organized
Fast moving documents
Easily attainable resources

Cons:
Different technological levels=different levels of education
Confusing directions/aspects for some students
Complications due to lack of home technology

Overall I would say that technology has done nothing but improve the learning environment. When I say "technology" I pretty much mean computers and the internet. Sure pencils, paper, and calculators are great, but seriously, you can access untold amounts of information with a few clicks of the mouse. Of course I say this having attended high school in one of the more affluent and priviledged areas of the country. I constantly had access to computers for whatever means necessary, almost every room in my high school had at least two. However, now at a later point in my education I realize that the implementation of easily accessible technoloyy in the classroom has created a rift between those lucky enough to have it and those who didn't.

Cloth Escape

I’m just a towel.
I’m simply used for drying things off.
I sit through life mostly unused and underappreciated, waiting until I become too pilly or worn and simply discarded
Or perhaps then I’ll be torn up into dust rags, still with a singular use but even less admiration
I’m just a towel.
I can wipe away the perspiration, the reminder that you were just the means toward glory for another.
I will gladly take your tears and muffle your sobs.
I can provide the comfort for your failure that no living thing ever could
And provide an escape from the cruel world that drove you into my French terry folds to begin with.
I’m just a towel.

Jumbled Liar

Sandy beaches, church every Sunday, and a big extended family who are
Angry that I drink so much to ice and snow
To sleep perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub of
Campfires and the smell of burning leaves of neon
Angry that I have worked so hard and have nothing to show when smiles came easy and
homework did too
I am from a squeaky screen door
Why do they attack you?

Letter to a Friend (If only I had one...)

Hey Man,
WTF? Where were u last night. We had a shit-ton of people over and everyone got really f-ing wasted (THREE KEGS!!!!!!!). Steve passed the hell out at like 10, what a pussy. The rest of us were up drinking and playing guitar hero until like 5 in the fucking morning. You missed out. Aight, peace out.

Professional Letter

Dear Professor,
I was recently discussing philosophical points of debate with several fellow pupils of mine. We came to the agreement that in our modern culture elders are respected less than a satisfactory amount. So I have decided to compose this formal letter to keep you notified of the recent events of my life.
Last weekend a few colleagues and myself enjoyed a box social. A sparing amount of cocktails were served and all attendees kept themselves in moderate reservation. At around the hour of ten we realized that it was becoming late and seeing as we all observe a strict self-imposed curfew we bid each other "adieu" and continued on to our places of residence.

Most Sincerely ,
Andrew F. Miller

Emotion Poem

Mealtime


Hunger for emptiness
Hunger for satisfaction
Hunger for stillness
Hunger for action
Hunger for life
Hunger for death
Hunger for suffocation
Hunger for breath
Hunger for loneliness
Hunger for company
Hunger for being ignored
Hunger for attention on me
Hunger for dullness
Hunger for mood
Hunger for hunger
Mostly Hunger for food!
