Remediation Assignment

Remediation: the act or process of correcting a fault or deficiency
--Dictionary.com

Throughout history there have many adaptations that have proved to make our daily lives just a little easier.

Besides substituting daily newspapers with easily accessible online news reports, other major changes due to technology have been taking place within recent years.

One of the first things that comes to mind is something that I, as well as many other college students, use everyday: the laptop.

While the desktop computer was clearly a huge advance in technology, the remediation of the laptop opened up even more doors.

The development of a portable computer allows for students, business men, and ordinary people from all walks of life to have passage to the internet and other useful programs in many settings that were once unavailable. People are now able to bring their computer everywhere with them instead of just having access to it at the home office.

Besides desktops, laptops also can be used to replace notebooks, gaming devices, and even MP3 players. I know that I sometimes bring my laptop to class instead of taking notes with a pen and paper. Also, whenever I go to the library I do not bring my iPod because I have access to all of my music right on my laptop.
