In today's modern society, technology is an essential part of life for many people. Technology has caused many evolutionary events to happen and made a permanent footprint in the world. Technology has made many things possible such as making online schooling possible and allowing contact between people through multiple platforms.

Throughout the years, education has shifted in many ways, including the usage of online schooling platforms and electronic resources. Some students might not have the support to attend on-campus schooling and might need to take advantage of online education and resources. Many schools are offering online classes to students that attend on campus to provide a variety of learning. Online platforms that allow students to access resources in the classrooms give extra help to their success as well. For example, Banweb is an online support that is given to students to manage their information involving their student information( financial aid, class registration, etc.). Without technology, many things that students need or may need will be challenging to access. Technology has paved a way of making contact between people smoother through various platforms. For example, facetime makes it easier to contact people and see them face to face. Distance has become more trouble free for people to overcome with the introduction to many social media platforms and long distance services offered by phone companies. People that may be dealing with long distance relationships can be less worried about things due to introduction to new technology. Parents can keep in contact with their children as well through technology, mainly due to many companies specializing in electronics specialized for children and parents.

These days various events are happening throughout the world that people find essential to their life. World news can be watched or listened to through technology; without news reports, many things would be unknown to society unless the communication between one another. Voting has even become electronic throughout countries which makes elections for candidates run more smoother.

Technology has also allowed people to work from the comfort of their home, such as blogging, online tutoring, virtual recruiting, etc. Employees can easily earn their money rarely or never leaving their home. Many online job findings come from just an inquiry and a click of a search button.

Without the technological advances that have taken place and innovators throughout the years, many things that play a significant part in peoples lives will become very strenuous tasks to complete or obtain. If technology all of a sudden comes to a halt how do you think the world would function.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
