     I think technology is getting better at a fast rate and for the better. Cell phones these days are getting better and better the specs are almost as good as laptops. Video game consoles are becoming entertainment hubs for our televisions, watch our movies, listen to our music, check out our pictures, and of course play our video games. Actually everything is becoming a media hub even built-in to televisions now. Movies are much easier to access from streaming services such as Netflix.
      But there also can be some negative outcomes because of technology. For instance internet is getting so advance and you can access anything. But there also some negative outcomes such as hackers which can steal your information. In recent news, Sony's online service "PlayStation Network" has been hacked and hackers stole personal information. Also there are easy viruses that can be sent to your computer and hackers can steal your credit card information and other personal information, which is very dangerous.
     Other than that technology is getting hotter and hotter. I love technology myself, I love seeing all the new stuff that comes out. Except Apple products because all I think they release is a fad. I love seeing the new Andriod cell phones coming out, and Microsofts new Windows Phone 7 products. Also seeing all the new video games coming out the graphics and the story telling on the new games are incredible. And see what the new things come out from Japan from mostly Sony, and Korea's Samsung.

Final Words - Technology is hot
 

General Education

General Education requirements in colleges are usually thought to students as a waste of time. The purpose of general education is there so everybody gets all the general aspects of education. Even if the major is Computer Science and all your required classes are Math related. For example, even if you need Math more than anything you still should take English for general reading and writing skills because it is needed for students overall skills. The purpose of public education is not to create unquestioning drones, but to create critical thinkers, and the General education requirement is important in this goal.

                  General education allows students to experience different types of classes and exposes them to new people and new situations which can help them outside of class. Social life depends on the student, if the student has friends or not also applies. If a student is an A student and uses most of their time studying and also puts time into partying and hanging out with friends, they will be fine within society outside of school. Whereas you have an A student that only studies and doesn’t use their spare time for anything else, they could be at risk outside of school, because they might not have the social skills and common sense they need to pass an interview, work in groups, move up in a career, and in effect they won’t be successful in life.

Open Letter

      These price cuts in education is a big problem in post-secondary education. With in the community colleges there are less classes and more cramped 30+ classes. The cost per classes are getting higher more than 3 times. Same with the Universities the tuition is higher and transfer rates will also drop. People can't afford to go to a UC even thought they can get accepted. Come on Jerry Brown don't get a bad rep and be worse than Arnold Schwarzenegger and be a politician that can't do his job right that an action star can do better, and change these price cuts on education.
      Come on Jerry Brown turn our frowns upside down :)
