After countless revisions, I finally believe I tailored the paper to make it clear that higher education systems are a Technopoly. I seemed to gone out of order with this paper, constructing my body paragraphs first. It turned out that one of my body's went off topic, sort of introducing what I was going to write about, therefore, made that part the intro.
I did not end up using a lot of outside sources besides my own experiences, mainly because I've come across a lot of Technopolist illustrations during my time here at Rutgers. Coincidentally, as I was studying for one of my other exams, they actually quoted Postman on how Technology is transforming the way we organize our information. I somewhat quoted him in the paper, which brought up the information management process example.
There are a couple messages coming out of this paper that I included in my conclusion. One, technology will never stop growing. Students of this generation make it a necessity to use technology, and that has grown onto education systems as well. Colleges and high schools use computers and their applications just as much as students use technology to entertain themselves. I have not gone to a class lecture in which the professor or teacher(in high school) has not used Powerpoint. Secondly, I've learned that a Technopoly is not necessarily the worst for society, which I had put in my conclusion. Computers, machinery in general might be more worth than the human body, but it's creating a very efficient environment, but also creating a very inefficient environment. It has its upsides and downsides, but Technology advancements is putting everything to obsolete.
