Recommended: Effect of education to technology

My decision to apply to Eastern Illinois University’s Master of Science Technology programme is based on a careful consideration of my aptitude, interests and professional ambition of being a part of my country’s technological workforce. Though, Ghana my country of origin has seen tremendous growth in the use of technology in the past two decades there still remains a huge gap between Ghana and the Advanced World in terms of technological innovation, application and use of technology amongst the indigenous population. Motivated by the hope of bridging this technological gap between Sub Saharan Africa and the world, I file this application to your most esteemed university to seek quality education in the field of Technology.
My interest in technology started when I got my first computer. I would spend much of the day behind the computer each day. My fascination with the computer mainly had to do with the way it worked.

  • Technology in Lazy Eyes by Michael Agger

    931 Words  | 2 Pages

    The earliest memory of my using a computer comes from when I was around four years-old; my grandmother sat me in front of a clunky, large desktop running off of Windows 95. It was like it was love at first site, and now it feels as if I’ve always had this sort of love-affair with computers. Technology is something that changes every day. From computers to eReaders it’s as if each time we turn the corner, there is some new update waiting to be downloaded or installed. For some this is no issue, yet for others it’s a massive inconvenience. The latter is left wondering why the current generation is so dependent on technology, or why more and more people prefer to read from a Kindle or Nook rather than “old-fashioned” books. For people with these questions, I strongly advise reading “Lazy Eyes” by Michael Agger, as it not only provides information that’s useful and thought-provoking; it manages to be funny at the same time while Sherry Turkle’s “How Computers Change the Way We Think” is dull, dated, and doesn’t provide any sort of helpful information.
