this’s the article

As college students, you are asked to complete nearly all of your tasks with the help of technology. Need to look something up: Google it. Need to write an essay: Type it on your laptop or tablet. Hungry: Order something from Uber Eats on your phone. Being technologically proficient while attending college is more helpful than harmful. Or is it?

With an increase in technology comes the term digital native: “a person born or brought up during the age of digital technology and therefore familiar with computers and the Internet from an early age.”

In Alia Wong’s academic article, “Digital Natives, Yet Strangers to the Web,” she walks her audience through some of the pitfalls of using technology when it comes to education. Throughout the article, Wong makes claims to support her argument, while simultaneously using evidence to support her claims.
