technology role in learning

some technologies i use to aid my learning include computers, calculators, heytell, and my cell phone. I use the computer everyday both inside and outside the classroom. It has helped me cut down on book weight as well, because of the move to online textbooks. I can also use programs on the computer that help me compute equations for economic classes. In my business related courses I often have to call upon a calculator to assist me. heytell is a fairly new app for smartphones. It allows you to send instant voice recordings over your cell phone. This saves me a lot of time from texting or calling someone for a question about homework or such. In a whole technology has helped me to become a more efficient student both in and out of the classroom.

Technology affecting policy

Technology is tightly wound into the every day lives of both economist, and the economy as a whole. Technology plays such a vital role in every day business that even the smallest increase in innovation can lead to huge profit gains. This ultimately affects the supply and demand curve over the long run. Since it changes so rapidly it is often a hard factor to consider. However technology also affects policy makers and the the outcomes they choose. New policies can have both huge negative or positive affects on the economy. Although technology is a single factor, it plays a huge role in where the economy heads and the accuracy of economist to predict it.

Website

one of my favorite websites is http://gizmodo.com/. I use it on a daily basis to stay up on the latest in technologies, new discovers, or just anything the editors feel like posting. Gizmodo often has breaking news posted even before other more mainstream medias do.
