Final paper progress 1

I started my paper a couple days ago but have been so busy with finals that I haven't had a chance to write about it until now. I decided to write on Postman's "Technopoly" because I believe that college campuses are just that. I have made a list of the pros and cons to technology on the college campus and although there seem to be a pretty even amount on both sides. I understand that there are two sides to everything and I feel that my argument is shaping more as I continue to write and examine this topic, but I think in the end technology is for the benefit of higher education. Reading through the book for quotes to support my arguments has been a bit painstaking as I did not enjoy reading it the first time too much, but I do enjoy the topic of the paper so it's well worth it. I must admit that I have been experiencing first hand one of the cons to technology on the college campus: checking facebook while attempting to write my paper(s). This is something I know everybody battles with, but being so connected to the world also has many benefits that I will be discussing.
