What does the future hold in technology? After watching the video at www.thefischbowl.blogspot.com/2007/06/did-you-know-20.html, gave me a whole new prospective on technology and education! Our focus as parent's, teachers, board of education, etc, should be to keep our children up to date, with the latest technology! We have much work to do! Our kids spend to much time watching TV, while in other countries are much more strict and well disciplined. They are way more advanced. Americans don't stick with anything. We are lazy and if something doesn't work the first time, we are quick to change, whether it's jobs, our careers, etc. In India 100% know the English language, by the time they are in college. I know that's not true in America, because I don't know a second language. The video estimated that in 10 years, China will be the number one English speaking country. How does that happen? Other countries have 2 million more graduating from college than us. In the video, it also said in developing countries out of 2 billion, one in three never even completes the fifth grade. The more education and technology we know, the more powerful of a country we can be!
Technology is becoming more advanced every day! The possibilities are endless, with the Internet. People are meeting online and some ending up married. Online business are booming, like EBay, with revenue of 6 billion, in 2006. Text messaging can be sent all over the world. With technology becoming more advanced every day, more jobs are becoming available. With websites like myspace, you can keep up with your friends and family members. Will our children keep up and become more advanced? It's is up to us!!! All I can say is Wow!
