1. Is technology modernizing in the wrong direction? Have you ever sat there hoping to find something to watch on TV when you stumble across an iPad 2 ad. You watch it, interested, eventually coming to the conclusion that you NEED this product. A quick trip to you amazon account and the electronic is on its way to your front door. When you finally receive the product and begin looking through how this product is better than...wait a minute, it plays music, goes onto the web, has fun mind-numbing applications. Don't you already own a smaller version of this? But isn't is also a phone? The present world keeps trying to push forward and improve in technology, but there's a difference between beneficial technology and "gadgets." And iPad is meant to be a combination of an iPhone and computer, yet it's more like an oversized iPod, but then there's the fuel dilemma. What if the world used their resources less towards frivolous iPad and more towards discovering replacements for fuel.
2. There has been a major increase in children being diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Most of the reason is that the ability to test children for ADD has become more available to the public. But even though more people are found to have it it's still misunderstood among the majority. To generalize, ADD it when the person has a difficulty focusing, causing them to have difficulties test taking or working under pressure - in which happens most during school. Unfortunately, this causes most affected - specifically students - to falter in class, not for their lack of studying, but more of their lack of inability to reach the knowledge to answer a question because, say, some student was tapping their pencil too loud throughout the test. Why is ADD so misunderstood when the population with it is increasing?
