Technological Advance:

I chose the internet as my technological advance. I think we really are so much better because of this technology; it helps us communicate with our loved ones that live far away, be able to get information that otherwise we couldn’t have access to before, a lot of new entertainment forms, etc. Of course it has some downsides; anyone can access the internet and put in there any kind of information that may be false or inaccurate.  Also in a lot of blogs and stuff like that you can write hurtful comments as an anonymous person and because of that get away with it. Everything can be good or bad and I think it’s really up to you how you use it.

Community Service:

On my previous school, 300 hours of community service were obligatory if you wanted to graduate. The first year of high school you didn’t get to choose what kind of community service you would be doing, but your second and third year you could if it had something to with what you want to study in college. I think community service is good because you get to help people, but like anything they obligate you to do sometimes you don’t like it. That’s why if they give you some options on how you can help maybe we would do it more eagerly.  I think that we could really help if we gave some classes to kinds that don’t have access to education, or maybe some conservational stuff.
