Technology (Education)

Kids today are having more and more access to the internet, I remember a few weeks ago driving home from quebec city and seeing a free wireless McDonalds I thought WoW would you look at that..it won't only be in Cafe's or starbucks it's going to be everywhere, I was shocked to see McDonalds but i guess why not. I've got to get with the times...lol Boy do i feel old

Education and Technology

Today i don't think we have a choice but to embrace and learn how our technology works, my daughter is 6 yrs old and goes on club penguin, she has pets on line and knows how to log in and type her log in name and password. We keep things simple for her but she has a favorite list on the computer with all her favorite sites she like to visit and watch video's. She has an MP3 player and plugs it into her stereo and plays the music on speakers in her room. It amazes me the things she is capable of doing when it comes to this stuff, we only show her once or twice and then she does it all on her own. If she could spell more words I'm sure she would be doing alot more. This is just an example of where our children are in this tech world are going and can you imagine the possibilities of what they're going to be able to accomplish as young adults.

Technology, The Kindle and lack of using paper.

Being in this course has shown me some wonderful things about technology and what is coming or should i say what is here, I talked to my daughter about the kindle and she found this very useful, her first comment was the price of books could go down because they would no longer need to print the books in the future. A paperless world, probably sounds like it's pretty far away but i'm probably going to live to see that day, especially if they are currently holding paperless meetings...and only in Quebec City which shows it's not that very far away. A paperless world, is it possible we already really don't need the use of paper money...were so used to the debit card.
Our world could consists of plastic cards for money and our phones for information and a chip embedded in our skin so there would be no more lost people, especially our children, sounds like were almost there.
