The clip we watched on youtube opened my mind about our increasing dependence on technology and the rate at which it is developing. It got me thinking about how easy it will be to get out of date with current technology just like our grandparents when they say "so, what's this internet thing?" I was particularly surprised at how many text messages are sent daily. My grandparents don't even know what a text message is.
I believe that this constant, huge shift in technology is not given the attention it should be. Children should be taught at school what could possible in the future and they should also sometimes learn in new ways to see if current methods are outdated. This would be hard however because it is hard to imagine what will be next. Just like when the first computers and storage devices came out. Nobody would've imagined that these things could become so small and compact. To get the storage space that a current, top of the range ipod has, the ealriest computers would have to take up a whole room.
These massive changes excite me and make me wonder what could be possible in another 10 or twenty years.
