3-D printing was an absolute turn of the century invention. Not only has 3-D printing become a large part of the medical world it is being implemented in all aspects of life. Believe it or not 3-D printing has actually been around since the 80s. It has just grown and improved over the years. 3-D printing is much like a regular ink printer but instead of using ink and being flat on a piece of paper, it prints 3-D technology with certain kinds of materials that are rather sturdy. Today in the medical field 3-D printing is used for huge things like re-creating a human organ! This is one of the reasons 3-D printing is so vital in the classroom.

As frustrating as it may have seemed for many parents at first Google classroom has been an Interactive innovative way for teachers to reach out to students even when they cannot see them. I truly believe that because of Google classroom my student did not fall behind. He did not miss out on that valuable time that was supposed to be spent in the classroom.

The Definition of technology is: The application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes especially in industry.   I think there are many pros and cons to technology being used in today’s world, it has made strides in the medical field it and has absolutely helped researchers scientists doctors and even ordinary people in a Great way. there’s so many more opportunities because of technology that help disabled people achieve things they could not have done 20 years ago.

Do they go visit their grandparents just to say hello? On most of these questions for most kids not all the answer is no they do ...
