Picture a world without technology
It is said that technology
is simply the use of knowledge, tools, materials, and processes to alter the
natural world in order to satisfy human requirements and needs. Humans use
technology to design, problem solve, invent, and innovate solutions to everyday
problems. Captivating and monitoring nature continues to be a vital purpose of
technology.
Is it possible to learn /
teach without new technologies? Technology has changed the way we do things and it will continue to
influence change. We are willing to continue to learn and
grow communication skills.
Is
our everyday conversation changing? I am sure, during my
great-grandmother’s days conversations went somewhat like this; “did you
hear about…” My grandmother was from the generation of listening to the radio
and then verbal communication took over again with family and friends passing
along what they heard. The conversation would have been “I heard on the
radio that…” When television came along, we all felt immediately
connected even though some news took longer to report. The conversation may
have started by “did you see on the news that….”or “did you read in the
newspaper…..” So how are our conversations today? How many times do
you hear today “I saw on-line that…”? Instead of introducing yourself we tend
to say ”why don’t you Google me “.......
