After writing this paper, I learned what it meant for modern-day colleges to be technopolies. I can understand that the colleges control the decision making for students for their field of study. But this is not as bad as it sounds. Colleges control which field a student can study, but they are deciding the best opportunity in the best interest of the student's future. These technological tools allow students to browse their options predetermined by the college and manage the required courses for graduation. These tools are intended to aid and assist the student in making the right decision. When students choose not to use the decision making tools properly it usually results in problems. Colleges can be considered technopolies but when the system is used the way it was intended for, then Colleges can be considered good technopolies.
Not only has this paper educated me on topics our society is experiencing as i type, but the class as a whole has as well. After the final paper, i felt as though everything was brought together well about the dilemmas of a generation where technology plays a humongous role in everyones lives. The debate of whether we are a spoiled generation that take advantage of the advance tools that surround us has brought up my awareness. I will be eager to see how the next generation will be portrayed and how they adapt to the technological resources that will most likely be more advanced then the technology today.
