In the past decade, education and
technology have both advanced quite dramatically, each suddenly becoming
dependent on the other. When I started taking AP classes in high school, this
fact became very apparent. Most of my homework demanded constant access to the
internet, which was difficult because my family only owned one computer at the
time (strange, right?). Eventually, my parents became very annoyed over being
cut off from the computer and, luckily for me, it made convincing them to buy
me a laptop very effective.
