Updated Intro Paragraph

Generation after generation it sees how technology grows enormously in the ability to proofread student essays for their instructors. Jacqueline Leo contributing author of internet newspaper, Huff Post describes how the use of technology advances, and the basic human skills that were used yesterday (like parallel parking a car) are not being used today, in the article called, "How America is Dumbing Down the Next Generation." Because America's "technology" grows intellectually and the American children learn less the whole country  feels as if they fall behind with the other nation's technology. Jacqueline Leo conveys her message through the use of sarcasm, allusion, and rhetorical question.

I agree. Though I truly believe that US has the upper hand on other Countries from the American Continent in developing technology, it seems like to me that practicality, effectiveness and speediness of things are making the upcoming generations lazy and maybe a bit dumb.
Accounting staff at companies nowadays only know the computer software that does everything for them but they have no idea about the principles of Accounting. They should be simply titled Data entry staffing for the Accounting department, just as an example of some of the things that technology is changing in the American culture.
