Assignment 2: iwrite (Tyler Gorman)

Technology has influenced my life in many ways, most of which I'd say are pretty positive. I won't lie, though; there was (and perhaps in a way still is) a time when technology (namely gaming) had a markedly negative impact on both my grades and relationships, but I like to think that its benefits outweigh its downsides. If we didn't have technology as we know it, my life would honestly be kinda crappy. I have a far-from-photographic memory, so my grades and schedule would be even worse than they already are if not for the ability my phone gives me to text others and set reminders. Many of my relationships exist almost purely over text message simply because my schedule is so busy that it allows little time to see people around school, band, and whatever other activities happen to be going on at the same time. And let's face it, it would drive most of us insane if we wanted to know something but the easiest access to an answer would be a magazine or newspaper or encyclopedia.
