GOODBYE FOR NOW

DID YOU KNOW?

I must say, this video "Did You Know" was extremely interesting to me. It was surprising because I really didn't know most of the facts in the video. It's not something that people sit around discussing over lunch. You know it's existing but not of that rapid extent. Who would have guessed that China will soon become the number one English speaking country in the world and India has more honors kids than America has kids? This is crazy! wow! unbelievable! Can you say "wake up people". This is definitely an eye opener for me as an individual who will soon become a teacher. It makes me wonder if 20 years down the road kids would even need someone to teach them instead of a computer.

This video pretty much sates that technology is taking over our society. Our kids today will probably never experience the enjoyment of playing outside and having real fun with each other. They don't even need to use their imagination because computers will do it for them. Children will lack good communication skills with each other due to the fact that more time is spent in front of a computer rather than exploring their imagination with another person. All in all, in my opinion, technology has its greatness and also its faults.
