According to the article “Technology and the College Generation”, adapted from Courtuney Rubin, most college students spend less time on their e-mail. This is a problem because most professors often use e-mail to let their students know about changing in assignment. In addition, research that was done by Reynol Junco, an associate professor of Library Science at Purdue, showed about how long students spend on e-mail. They spend six minutes a day on e-mail. Also, they like to play on the computer on the social networking and the only thing spend less time on than e-mail are search engines such as Google, Facebook…However, most professors are not close to social media. This is the reason why the communication between professors and students process slowly. Students need to check their e-mail every day.
Research that was done by Dr. Junco showed us that students spend an average of 123 minutes a day on a computer. Nowadays computers play an important role in our daily life. It makes our life convenient and fast, but it also brings us lot of negative things. For example, as college students, when we finish our homework and have nothing to do, we spend the rest of our day typing on the computer and chatting with our friends until it is time to sleep. It is fast and enjoyable to text on the computer. We prefer social medial to e-mail because using email is boring and slow. Consequently, technology has made us lazy, and we have forgotten that we are wasting our time.
On the other hand, most professors were born in the last generation. They use e-mail consequently, but most students spend less time on e-mail. For example, in the article, Cedrick May, who is a professor at the University of Texas, gave his class a surprise quiz on e-mail. He soon learned that the students did not know he had changed the reading assignment because they did not check their e-mail regularly. The result of the communication between professors and students get slowly. As college students, we learn knowledge from the professors. If we want to be close to our professors, we need to check our e-mail every day.
In conclusion, even though the development of the technology makes our life convenient and fast, we need to use the computer reasonably. Especially, as college students, we need to check our e-mail every day because our professors changing assignment sometimes. We are the hope in the future. If we want to have a successful life, we need to learn more from our professors. At the same time, when we get old, in the next generation, the developments of the technology will continue, how would we think? We are young. We do not have much experience. If you want to have a wonderful life, from today, check your e-mail every day.
