Technology is awesome! You can send an instant picture, pay bills, or take a class on-line. But, is it safe. If the information in this video is true are you surprised that the United States is falling behind? I'm not against all technology just not that fund of the Internet. I feel that too much information is shared over the net. Seriously, how hard is it to find information about making a destructive weapon or how to use or make a drug? And for the people that are more advanced, how hard is it to still someones identity? Most countries make it mandatory that their students learn English before they graduate from high school, but the U.S. make it optional to learn a second language. So its not surprising that China will soon be the #1 English speaking country in the world. Guess what's on the net: Web sites that teach you to speak a second language.
Since this video focus on how much people use the Internet, let's talk about how much you don't learn when you choose to use the net. Think about, if you have a report on rocks, will you learn more if you go to the library to check out books, go to the rock museum, and actually examine a rock or will you remember the report that someone else has already written? For me begin hands on help me learn, not just memorize.
I feel that we create problems. I love when time was simple. I love when people grew their own food and we did not have an obesity crisis. But I also love the discovery of radiation. It saved my Aunt's life. Can some one tell me where you find common ground?

Amen!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you 100% on the idea of learning hands-on rather that on-line.
I know the best things I ever learned were from simpler methods of learning.
I hope they don't get lost in this pile of technology!
I feel exactly the same. Technology is great to an extent. However, I think we are becoming too technological.
