I love technology. I can look up questions I have with my homework. When I'm sick, I can look the homework up online, or even call or text someone in my class to see what it was. The downside is that I won't have an excuse when I forget to do my homework.

 But by far, technology is the worst inconvenience to me when it isn't working right. If my computer is down, or our internet isn't working, I can't look up my questions, or see what I missed. And then teachers won't take that excuse because there are some people who will take advantage of technology's imperfections and say that it wasn't working for them, if they just forgot to do it. And there are sometimes, when I don’t have immediate access to it, and I need to turn an assignment in online, or have some other pressing matter that requires it. For example, when I am at the lake, I don’t have cell phone service, except sometimes when I'm on the boat, and even then, it's spotty, and you can't talk on the  phone. Wi-Fi is even worse. We don’t have it at "base camp" and it's not available on the lake. If I have to connect to the internet for any reason, I have to go ten miles before I can connect to anything, and even then, it's awful service.

My point is, technology is awesome, but when it's not available to you, it has unpleasant consequences, even if it's not your fault.
