Thoughts on my Proposal Essay

A problem in this day in age is that kids are too reliant on technology. With all these technological advancements, phones, tablets, computers, etc. can do a lot of tasks for people. If kids become too dependent on technology to do tasks for them, then they will miss out on learning real life chores. A policy could be implemented which creates a class that replaces Good Life that teaches real life things, such as laundry or professional communication. It could be made mandatory for all freshman. More research can be done to find out what most kids don't know how to do because of their phones/computers. It could involve asking a big group of teenagers to perform real-life tasks that can be done on a phone or computer, like mailing a letter or using an encyclopedia. A media approach would be difficult since it would use more technology to perform. However, if the new media can give bad connotations to heavy reliance on technology, maybe kids would use them less. It would be better if kids weaned off a heavy dependency, but not fully.
