The United States and many other countries have now entered the
             digital age, an era where electronics, media, and the worldwide web are
             right at our fingertips anywhere and anytime that our hearts desire.
             Workplaces, schools, and households have now become more technology
             friendly and are assimilating into this fascinating age of discovery and
             innovation. According to Virginia Heffernan, a published author and writer
             for The New York Times, "65 percent of today's grade-school kids may end up
             doing work that hasn't been invented yet." Even children are being
             introduced to electronics and the Internet at a young age, which means the
             future holds a lot of promise. Technology has flourished and become apart
             of one's everyday life, and some might even say we abuse it because of our
             need to be constantly connected; however, it is a beneficial tool to have,
             and I have welcomed it into my life with open arms. It has allowed me to
             get my work done easily, helped me make connections, taught me realizations
             about myself. Also, technology and the Internet are here to stay, which has
             led me to the conclusion that they will greatly impact my future.
             Being part of the digital age has made work and business easier. For
             example, taking online classes is something I was recently introduced to
             over the summer, and my English course, being my third online class has
             made me see how a classroom can be brought into a digital setting. Classes
             offered online are very useful because sometimes a class' time conflicts
             with my schedule. I am able to do everything online, which leaves some sort
             of anonymity between my peers, which I like because I am able to state my
             opinion without fear of being judged in an actual classroom setting where
             everyone turns and looks at you when you have a contribution to make.
             Because of the Internet, people are able to get a vast amount of work done
             The Internet has come very far...
