What effect does technology have on the way students communicate, read, and write?

Quote: “I don’t believe that technology can make someone dumber or smarter,” states Naomi Hupert, a senior researcher at the Center for Children and Technology in New York. However, Hupert is careful to point out that there are some valid reasons to be concerned about the impact of technology on children. One is that we don’t yet understand its overall impact and how it will affect us 20 or 30 years down the road. Another concern centers on usage. “Depending on how you use it, your outcome varies,” explains Hupert. Your child may learn a new language by using a CD-ROM or spend the same time shooting at “criminals” in a video game.
