How Technology Has Impacted Learning
Technology has improved communications and access to information. Computers stimulate young minds by making learning fun. The Internet allows students to explore whole new worlds in real time. There hardly a subject which can't benefit from the resources available on the web. Gifted, creative teachers stimulate young minds. They light the fire and capture the imagination. Technology is just one more tool, albeit a most useful one, in the serious teacher's portfolio of teaching tools. Computer technology provides abundant opportunities for students to build or modify their personal knowledge through the rich experiences that technology affords. Technology also motivates and engages the learner. When students have a choice in their assignment, see the relevancy, or can self-assess with teacher feedback intertwined, student motivation increases. Technology lends itself to all of the above.
Technology has helped me a lot in the past few years with school.The internet has allowed me to learn more about issues occurring around the world. And has also helped me with this blog. I could barley find any books on factory farming.(I found about two different ones) Without the internet I wouldn't have been able to do this project as well as educate people on what is really happening to the meat they eat which is important because how we survive is with consumption of food and water.

Understanding of The Issue Towards Factory Farming
I chose this topic because I think it is important for people to be aware of what kind of food they are consuming. As mentioned before of what harm it does to us with pollution and additives. As a lot of people believe their food comes from the type of farm that treats their animals with respect and care. Which is only to be expected. Which is close to non existent. The research I have done has impacted my knowledge about the world and the issue. I learned more about the topic and what really happens in the factory farms as mentioned in more detail in previous blogs. It is sad that as a society we have come to treating animals with such low respect. Not only in factory farms but with animal abuse. As I see it animals are living organisms and deserve respect just as you and I. They may not be as high as we are on the food chain and may not be able to talk but in a recent research it was shown that animals do have feelings just as we do.

Studies conducted by animal welfare researcher John Webster and his colleagues at Britain’s Bristol University. The experiments were done on pigs, goats, chickens and cattle.
It a lot of ways technology has impacted our society in a good way unless you are talking about factory farming. If we didn't have the technology and the need for more produce the government wouldn't have been able to introduce factory farming in the first place. The government try's to produce for less without putting a lot of people out of a job. With factory farming they are able to produce for less while still giving a lot of people job by running the machinery and feeding the animals additives as well as cutting off animal parts such as chicks beak. From a personal experience in places such as Saskatchewan where there is less population, less technology, and media still have good farms.

How Do People Live With Themselves?
I
feel disgusted with the way that people are treating animals which
should be a privilege to have. As mentioned before of how it effects
us with all the additives and pollution we are better off without it and the animals need our help to voice their lives. I am still trying to
understand how people who do this to the animals live with themselves
everyday when they disrespect animals the way they do by taking away
their body parts and all their animal rights. I believe it is the consumers responsibly to know where there food is coming from. It is the governments problem just as much as it it the consumers because it is the people who buy into the product and support it. As said before organic food is pricey and there is a lot of extra work involved in wanting to be healthy for yourself and helping animals. But also said before that if you aren't able to buy organic food then be against factory farming and and have "Meatless Monday". Every little effort helps the animals. Every week you have meatless Monday is another animals life saved.
More than half of people believe that their food comes from happy farms that we used to have in the olden days. Which is now almost non-existent. Or people just don't care about the issue. From personal experiences and bringing the topic up to classmates they reply with “whatever, we need protein” or “God put animals on earth so we could eat them” which is very true but animals need to be treated with respect before we consume them and not only that but the additives factory farms put in the animals food is very unsafe and not healthy for both us and the animals. Humans being the consumers we need to make a protest in stop buying animals products to make life better for the animals and ourselves in what we are consuming as well protect from pollution as mentioned before.
After learning what you have about factory farming how do you feel about animals in consumption? how do you live with yourself knowing every every meat product you have the animal was abused in multiple ways to get to your plate?
