Education Changing

It might be easier, but exceptional literature does not arise this way. As the number of adolescents brought up with the conventions of society, the problematic effects will no longer be able to be overlooked. Universities will place increasing numbers of freshman students in remedial courses, and companies will employ more writing instructors for their employees. This trend is proceeding at an exponential rate, and teachers will take notice that the nondigial space may be a valid option of countering it. For a minuscule but important portion of the day, students will be given a dictionary, pencil and paper in order to slow this 'instant gratification' epidemic. Students give more thought to the art of composition when writing by hand. They will stop at a metaphor, review the syntactical forms used throughout the paper, and say, "I can do better."

In this way, the nontechnology area will appear as a nondigital complement as oposed to an anti-technology counteraction. Students didn't have an alternative to writing with pen and paper before the digital age. With the institution of the personal computer and the web, displacement in these tools have occured causing a shift to a new array of writing habits and technology ("Literary Learning" 1). This promotes pen and paper as a different identity. In the non-technology area, educators teach the students how to write against the fast modes of the internet, and withstand the burdens of custom and conformity. A crucial role in education would be disconnectivity--forcing students to acknowledge the technological innovations all around them yet viewing it from a distance.

This is only one perspective of the future education curriculum. It would establish an equilibrium of non-digital and digital aspects. Yes, the tension between the rest of the school and the non-technology area is inevitable, but the productive circumstances will be implicit ('Literary Learning"
