Technology at Brophy By Michael Rowland
At Brophy, we are all surrounded with technology. It is the main driving force for everything we do as a community. However, it doesn’t often occur to us how much of our lives are controlled by the powerful machines that sit at our disposal every day. Whether it be for gathering information, leisure, or education, technology is present everywhere around Brophy and helps empower us to reach higher places that without our computers and iPads we may not be able to reach.
