Introduction

The so-called “Digital Revolution” has permeated every part of life and transformed all facets of our society, education included. It is a common belief that pairing institutions with technology will make them better, and that to succeed in today’s world, to keep up with the rapidly changing times, we must become tech-savvy and integrate technology at every opportunity. There are some clear benefits to pairing technology with education. Students and teachers alike can locate information on virtually any topic imaginable. Sophisticated graphics programs foster creativity and turn out stunning forms of rhetoric and presentations. However, we would be naïve to only choose to see the positive aspects of technology and gloss over the ill effects and the potential for misuse in the Composition classroom. Technology can be advantageous, but I believe the use of technology should be minimized, or at least significantly changed in rhetoric and composition classrooms.
