Technology’s Impact Is the outgrowth of technology really a threat to college student? â€Å"Hey are you in the room, Ashley?† Kate knocks the door. â€Å"Hey I forgot my key, will you open the door for me,† Kate shouted. After five minutes, Kate went next door and knocked on her suitemate’s door. Her suitemate opened the door for her. She went through the bathroom, and reached to her own room.

In some of the questions I asked in the survey the result did not vary much. Therefore, in future investigations adding ten more questions and giving out fifty surveys will have a much more accurate result. Also, I need to get a variety of majors because a computer major is going to have more of a passion for technology than an english major. I could have asked more demographic questions for background information as well. As Kate left the room, Ashley slowly selected her away message for AIM. She then opened and checked her email once again to make sure she did not miss any messages. Last, she gathered her books and left the room. On the screen, her away messages said, â€Å"At class, leave your message and I will get back to you A.S.A.C (as soon as my class is over).† Technology’s Impact Essays -- Communication Internet Technological Pap Technology’s Impact Is the outgrowth of technology really a threat to college student? â€Å"Hey are you in the room, Ashley?† Kate knocks the door. â€Å"Hey I forgot my key, will you open the door for me,† Kate shouted.
