Todays population is becoming more and more dependent on technology for simple everyday things. Our cellphones and laptops have become a necesity that we cannot live without. Technology is becoming more and more accesible. It is becoming easier for people to cheat on tests, or buy essays online instead of writing them themselves. There really isn't a way to stop this. Technology will continue to advance in the many centuries to come. Although I don’t necessarily agree that technology is a bad thing, there are situations such as this one that are.

It's only hurting the person that is doing this in the long run. Sure you can pass college cheating your way through, but when someone asks you a question in the real world or your given a written exam for a job with the boss sitting in front of you, you're not going to be able to pull out your iPhone and look up the answer. A way this could be solved is to have the professors walk around during test, make sure they know people have nothing on their desk or in their laps. -Matthew McCloud Many students are doing this now days.
