Technology the Tool by Grace

Technology the Tool by Grace - January 2020 Scholarship Essay

Dear Varsity Tutors, I gratefully thank you for this generous opportunity.

The creation of technology has greatly served our society. It has saved lives in the medical field, reached more students in more ways concerning education, and it makes killer coffee. I would like to share with you how it has impacted my life from the classroom. I am homeschooled and have learned so much through videos, online curriculum, and the countless articles found on the internet. My learning style works best through videos, and there are many people like me who glean the most information through the resources online. I have learned guitar, violin, gardening and countless other topics after many pleasurable rabbit holes on the wonderful tool of YouTube.

I could not imagine what it would have been like to live before technology. I’m so grateful for the internet and all that it has taught me. Through online college I can learn so much and save time. With my education best matching my personnel needs, I can save so much time. With the time I saved through the internet, I can focus on important things, like outings with my family, and singing cat videos. The more our culture develops the more information is available to us through the internet. Any individual who has access to technical device has the opportunity to learn anything. I believe that knowledge is power and through the tool of the internet our society will become better enabled to tackle our problems together.
