Statement of Purpose
I have always been attracted more towards fields of study that involved a systematic, methodical and logical approach. This predisposition pulled me towards Physics and Mathematics and later on in life I was drawn towards Computer Science since it is simple logic, arithmetic and application. Computers are machines that I fancied since childhood and ever since I had a strong curiosity to learn the minutiae of its working. I always inquired as to how this technology evolved, developed and has reached its zenith today. In my school days, I visualized computers as sheer entertainer. As I grew older, I acquired multi-faceted information about computers, which showed me a sensible way to analyze the apparent use of computers

He realizes that the increasing amount of time spending on the Internet has caused his intellectual pain. By exposing his personal experience and analyzing it, he successfully points out the issue he faces. Carr cites traditional academic authorities in order to indicate that the Net has affected not only him, but also many people around the world. As people are
Paul Mitchell 's School is the right education for me because I like how their staff members and student’s purpose is to give back to the community. I like the saying that “Success Unshared is Failure,” by John Paul DeJoria Paul Mitchell’s co-founder because it 's important that we share our accomplishments with our community. Thanks to them our success is developed. Paul Mitchell School offers me the opportunity to get to know new people and it bolsters my opportunity of gaining new knowledge by helping my community.
Into the Electronic Millennium by Sven Birkerts, written in 1991, is an informative essay that goes into depth about how society is becoming dependent on electronics as a way of communication. New generations will encounter drastic changes as a result of the switch from printed words to electronic media. Birkerts’ intent is to inform his audience about the dangers that electronics will bring to future generations. He thinks that seeking information through printed words are becoming a rarity for younger people. He also claims that since people are dependent on electronics now, people do not have a mind of their own.
I am always looking for a challenge and expect to excel each time. I have distinguished myself from my peers by taking on extra responsibilities
Nicholas Carr is “an American journalist and technology writer” who attended Dartmouth College and Harvard University. Over the past decade, Carr has examined and studied the different impacts that computers have on our life and the “social consequences” of this new technology (Carr 123). In “A Thing Like Me” by Nicholas Carr, the author claims that technology is overpowering and dominating our lives. Carr expands on this idea further by defining it as people using “tools that allow them to extend their abilities” (Carr 124). To help with his argument, Carr uses a historical narrative about the creation of computer software, named ELIZA.
Too much screen use induces less communication between people and more time spent using technology. Technology used in our society in the same way. Sometimes people use television to forget about a hard time at work, others using phones in public, so they don’t have to interact with other people. “Little by little, technology has become an integral part of the way that people communicate with one another and has increasingly taken the place of face-to-face communication. Due to the rapid expansion of technology, many individuals fear that people may be too immersed in this digital world and not present enough in the real world,”.
In today’s society, technology plays a very important role in its ability to function, it helps people find information, communicate with others far away and provides entertainment. In “Fahrenheit 451”, a book written by Ray Bradbury, a dystopian future where books have been made illegal is presented. In the article, “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” by Nicholas Carr, raises many questions about technology and its effects on society. It’s quite evident that we have become quite dependent on technology due to our overconsumption of it.
The Influence of Technology In the essay, “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” Nicholas Carr argues that utilization of the internet has an adverse effect on our way of thinking and functioning in everyday life. Whether it be reading a newspaper, or scrolling through Facebook, internet media has forever stamped its name in our existence. Carr explains to us that the internet is a tool used every single day in today’s society, but also makes most of us complacent with the ease of having the world at our fingertips.
Our way of thinking is beginning to change to the way that computers do. Advancements are made everyday. These new advancements are attempting to make life in general easier for everyone. Nicholas Carr makes the claim that, “as the internet because our primary source of the information it is affecting our ability to read books and other long narratives.” Carr suggests that using the internet is altering the way that our minds operate.
Health and social care is something that I have always been passionate about. Because I have studied health and social care for the last four years I have regularly met a lot of the most vulnerable members of society through past work experiences. Through past placements I have worked with children who have special needs. This helped me develop ways of communicating with the children this could be through sign language. Because my Aunt is deaf I have taught myself basic sign language in order to communicate with her effectively.
Technology is a useful and convenient resource, but humans are slowly becoming lazier and not analyzing the issues of technology. Through the issues of idleness and privacy, and the benefits of academics and communications; technology is shaping our life for the better, and the worse. In “Is Technology Making Us Lazy?” Doctor Paul C Ajamian and Doctor Robert Pinkert discuss new advancements in
In only a couple of decades, technology has imbedded itself into people’s lives, to the point it would be difficult to live without using technology. In Neil Postman’s speech “Informing Ourselves to Death,” he explains how not all technology is being used for what its original purpose was, and how people are starting to drown in the useless information technology gives. Postman also makes the claim, “And therefore, in a sense, we are more naïve than those in the Middle Ages, and more frightened, for we can be made to believe almost anything” (5). Though Postman gave this speech about thirty years ago, this accurately describes modern society. Technology was meant to help people learn and improve their lives, but it has instead increased the naivety of the world.
