Effects of Technology on Students Tomorrow

Technology whether we like it or not, is becoming easier and easier for everyone to access. Schools are starting to use computers to teach young kids their education. They might say they are doing it for the better of the enviroment because it's saving paper, but is it helping the kids in the future? Tomorrow's future is in the hands of student's today, and if we're teaching them to learn from computers, what's going to happen in ten, twenty years? Soon, teachers won't be needed because clearly they are showing, that computers can do all the work for them. This is making teachers able to be lazy and not have to interact with their students. So what are they getting paid for? Not only is it making teachers lazy, it's making students lazy. Computers are becoming the product that everyone relies on. College and unversity students admit that they bring their laptops to class, but aren't using it for school work purposes. Are they the ones to blame? Or do we blame the media?

  1. I often wonder whether I am working in a redundant job - will the future see everything being on line and off site. It will be interesting to see what kind of education system exists for your grandchildren.
    A good entry Keisha.
