Technology

The world of technology is rapidly changing, evolving right in front of our very eyes. While some may argue that there are disadvantages to some aspects of technology (and I do not disagree), there are also so many doors that have been opened. The application of technology to education can be hugely beneficial. We have already seen what personal computers have done. Nearly every student either owns a computer, or has direct access to one. This has increased the flow of information to a ridiculously high level. Now there are so many ways to communicate, at the touch of a button (ok, you do have to actually type a message, yes). With Email and instant messaging, there is no more delay in the flow of information. The internet also allows for the exchange of an incredible amount of information. I believe it is crucial that education constantly adapts to the times, and I think technology is a huge part of the evolution of education.
