Assessment


                I think the author's point of view is that technology is rapidly changing and education needs to catch up. Education hasn't changed as fast and as much as technology has. Technology has taken over social media and almost everyone uses or has used it. The authors took over three years of research with large amounts of time spent on it.

                Technology has evolved so fast over the years and has changed the way people interact with each others. They also explain on the essay that the youth culture has changed significantly. In the essay it states, "They found that social network and video sharing sites, online games, and gadgets such as iPods and mobile phones are now the fixtures of youth culture."

                On the internet, youths learn much more than what they learn in schools. The internet gives people access to knowledge they won't learn about in school. In the text it states, "A smaller number of youth also use the online world to explore interests and find information that goes beyond what they have access to at school or in their local community." The internet itself can be a source of learning material far better than schools.

               There are websites that allow access to people that need to learn way more knowledge than what you are limited to. The internet is what is outside the box. On the passage it states," Online groups enable youth to connect to peers who share specialized and niche interests of various kinds, whether that is online gaming, creative writing, video editing, or other artistic endeavors." This shows us that even without school there are places where youth can hang out. Remember, knowledge is power.
