There are many possible impact of technology speculated in the short narrative “epic2015.” The piece suggests that in the future Google and Amazon will combine to become the news mogul which personalizes the news for every subscriber. Following that in the year 2015 people will use their mobile media devices to broadcast themselves across the internet airwaves. Such speculations would have big impact on the classroom.

• Personalized news means that students would not be hearing the same news…. There would be more information, but the information would be based on preference, and there fore all students would not receive the same “news.”
• Personal broadcasts means students would increasingly open their lives on the internet where face to face interaction would decrease and postings would increase.
• Student lives would also be more available to strangers. Either security for these “pod-casts” will increase or students open their lives up to anyone who wants to look.
• Social impact of postings decreases accountability. Students can present themselves however they want
• More convenient. Like the cell phone- these broadcast will make life more convenient and create more free time. Planning may be less tedious too.

• Theme
• Supporting evidence
• Writer’s voice
• Value of person
