Technology has changed so much in the 30 some years I have been around..... how much do you think it will change in the next 30?

From the page: "When I was a kid I would walk 6 miles to school in snow that was up to here (points to his shoulders).' I remember as a young girl my Grandfather telling me stories like this. And, when he would say this to me I would be thinking, 'Thank G-d I wasn't born in the "old days"... I would have had to walk to school for miles and miles in snow up passed my head!'" ----------------------------- 'When I was in the Junior High (yes, it's true.... they didn't call it Middle School back then) and I was learning how to research and write reports we didn't have the internet to do our research. We had to do our research in a Library.' ------------------------------------------------- My son just rolled his eyes at me. It was just at that moment it occurred to me that I am one of them!! I am a Story Teller from the 'Olden Days'. " Nostalgic. But I still know a bit more about computers than my 18-year old daughter.

the changing face of education in a web 2.0 world

TheJunner rated 2 months ago

I tend to think I'm from the Internet generation, yet next to none of the "Education 2.0" innovations apply to me at all. Considering I might be border-line "old-school", I instead turn to my 13-year-old sister, who still does most of her school tasks the "analog" way. Of course, I might not be among this article's intended readership, since I'm just a middle-class kid in a Third World country and most technology here is quite expensive, but it's always good to have a different perspective.

No, my thumbs down mostly comes from the fact that the article is mostly obvious realizations like "technology changes" and "kids grow up around technology available to them", i.e. realizations that any science-minded individual should be able to figure out on their own. This would better be classified under "Education" or "Parenting" (the other two main tags in the review page).
