Why don't you look it up?

Isn't it weird how much education has changed since the boom of technology? I remember in grade school if I needed to know how to spell a specific word, the teacher would tell me to look it up in the dictionary. So I would then go over to the bookshelf, choose the dictionary, find the specific word, and write down the correct spelling. Now students don't have to go through this hassle. They can just simply type the word on a computer screen and hit spell check or they can have the dictionary app on their smartphone (highly recommend this app!) CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD

Another technology tool that is changing the game is GPS. Before the popularity of smartphones, one must print out directions on MapQuest or use a physical map to get from point A to point B. Now, future travelers do not need to worry about this fuss. They can simply enter in an address or a landmark and have an answer in seconds. Do you think this is taking away the fun of a road trip? It does sound a little safer IMO because young travelers are less likely to get lost.

The last technological advancement I want to mention is just the smartphone in general having the capability to explore the web. Us human are now walking around with electronic libraries in our pockets. I remember as a child, my father would be at a bar or restaurant with his friends and they would get stumped by a trivia question. If it was a younger centered question, they would call me and ask me. Now this really isn't a thing. If you have a quick question, you can just type it into your browser on your phone and have an answer in seconds. Add the encyclopedias to your recycling list, they are now just a waste of space and time.
