Here is my a paragraph I wrote for reference:
I remember one time before my big history exam, I was at my desk, with my textbook and surrounded by piles of notes, struggling to cram every fact and date into my head, but everything seemed to blur together, my head was spinning and panic started sneaking in. Without thinking, I grabbed my phone and started Googling, hoping for a quick answer to a question I couldn’t quite remember. Instantly, dozens of results popped up websites, flashcards, study guides.  Everything I needed was right there, a few taps away, and suddenly I felt a huge wave of relief. But as I scrolled through neatly organized dates and summaries, a strange thought struck me. Werner Herzog once described the Internet as “the nervous system of our planet,” yet in that moment, it felt more like an extension of my own brain, like I was so used to “Googling” things that I hadn’t realized just how much I depended on it, how I could call up any piece of knowledge without truly learning it. The more I thought about it, the more I wondered if this reliance was holding me back—if I was really learning anything at all or if I was just memorizing the process of finding answers. As I returned to my notes, I couldn’t shake the feeling that my instant access to information was keeping me from understanding things on my own, that maybe the ease of finding answers had become a crutch, leaving me with a shallow grasp instead of real knowledge.

Watch the film Lo and Behold:  Reveries of the Connected WorldLinks to an external site.. 
Based on the film’s premise, write a narrative essay that tells a personal story of your own experience with digital technology.  Because this is a narrative essay, you’ll want to write about a specific moment, incident, or feeling; do not write a general piece on technology, an argument, or a mere exploration of the subject.  Tell a story as though you’re talking to a friend, but with good grammar.
When you brainstorm for your paper, think of things like missed connections, distraction, “cat fishing,” superficial online relationships, instantaneous connections, access to information, reunions via social media, social media induced envy, global connections, diminishing intelligence (because we can Google everything), social media/tech burnout, and instant gratification.
