Internet Usage - Is it Abused?

Spilling the Tea With Sophomores



Internet Waves Too Strong

The internet is riding a high-end wave in our society, seemingly not stopping anytime soon. The question is, has it been for the better or for the worse? 78.2% of the United States’ population has access to the internet, but is this making us lazy? We have access to apps such as Uber Eats and Amazon to have whatever we want whenever we want without setting a foot outside our homes. As our advances in technology increase, will our way of thinking decrease the further we continue?

    I really enjoyed listening to this podcast. It was interesting to hear how it has affected the entire world basically. I agree when you say that it is being abused. Our schools themselves have integrated internet into our daily lives.

    It was interesting to hear your perspective because before listening to this, I thought technology was making our lives easier and not necessarily lazier. I think I do agree with you now, and technology is only going to keep advancing and may still be abused

    I really enjoyed listening to this, not only because I am in one of your interviews, but that I feel this is a topic that people our age can really relate to. I also like that you were able to incorporate a little bit of humor, keeping the podcast interesting.

Isaac's Podcast- School Causes Stress on Teens (Ep.1)

School causes stress on teens Podcast Pitch And welcome back to Isaac's podcast, so stress and school. Man those two things match so perfectly. Stress brings such worry, such anxiety. Many kids struggle and try to cope with it but they always seem to fail because they always aim for perfection yet don't succeed at that. They struggle their whole life because they were so focussed on getting that A in high school. They were so focussed on getting the work done, instead on focusing on what life really matters. The school system it just, things are due, there are due dates in school and kids try to meet those standards but they have sports, they have families, they want to have fun, they don't want to spend their young years worrying, but they end up worrying, and stressing, and thats the sad truth. ⇩Link Below⇩ https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Q9CfDFBpJ8pcEEAu9FKOS_kCLiuYhyB5  Sources cited:  http://web.b.ebscohos...

WHAT THE TRUMP?! The Teenage Thoughts on the Donald Trump Presidency

Image
Teenagers and Trump The most controversial man in America happens to be our president.  Donald J. Trump, the United States' 45th president, split America into  two halves. While many people (about half the United States) agreed  with him and his proposed political agenda, he still managed to draw lots of  controversies.   Is Donald Trump doing anything wrong? Are the American people being over-dramatic towards his presidency? Maybe it isn’t that Trump is doing a bad job, but that the American people are still caught up in that he managed to beat Hillary? Rather than having adults answer these questions, maybe it’s time that kids share their opinions because the only opinions we ever get are old stinky adult ones. Find out in this episode of Arekcast, with your host Arek Gadomski, as we gather information from teenage High-school students on our president and discuss controversial topics regarding him.
