The worksheet says to write an essay, but all you’re doing is a prewrite.  I’m going to type in the prompt, then the questions you need to make sure you address.

One hundred years ago, no one would have expected that televisions, video cameras, compact disc players, and computers would be common household items.  In the last century, technology has continually changed the way people do things.  Sometimes, technology makes life easier, and sometimes it makes it more difficult.  Answer the following questions about technology in your life.

1.  How does technology affect you?

2.  Give positive and negatives – 2 positives, 2 negatives, or one of each.

3.  Give 3 examples

This does NOT need to be in complete sentences.

Choose an activity you prefer and break it down into steps.  You must have at least 10 steps in order to get full credit.  For example, you could tell me how to shoot a free throw or how to change a diaper. The choice is yours.
