Conclusion

    First let’s review the hypothesis:

Technologies that are commonly used by teenagers will have a positive impact on students’ school performance.

    By looking at the data collected, it is certain that there is a relationship between technology and school performance. The usage of tech products may influence negatively or positively on the student’s performance depending on the situation. However, in many cases, the student’s school performance is maximized when the students does use tech products to a certain degree, but does not exceed a limit (more specifically, 3~5 hours per day). Therefore there are more pros than cons, and the hypothesis is proven.

            Suggestions for students and parents:

                    -Students are strongly encouraged to use technology, especially for learning, but any use of tech                 products should be controlled to 3~5 hours per day

                    -In the case of gaming systems, it should be avoided entirely during week days if possible

                    -Students should be encouraged to use technology more often in certain subjects, such as math,                 technology, arts and English, as long as the time is well controlled
