Machines are taking over the world. It's time to dispose of all non digital things. Technology has changed so much. People aren't even using pencils and paper anymore Growing up it wasn't much of computers people were mostly using papers and notebooks to write on. If anything were needed to be looked up we would use encyclopedias or go to the library and look up books that would explain the topic we needed. Living in the 21st century technology has upgraded. People said bye to disposable cameras and hello to digital cameras. Reading books changed, people can download books to their phone and ipods and read the book from their phones or ipods. Schools barely use text books schools use computers for researches and for students to look up missed assignment.

According to the video digital text it explains many ways to go on the computer and look up things it shows me how Google works how yahoo works and also shows me that i can take notes while I'm on different websites. Digital text also shows me that paper is pointless when I write something wrong down i have to erase and start all over but on the computer all I have to do is backspace and type all over again. It explains how flexible different and movable digital text is. I can go to any link by clicking or typing it in. Technology has been advanced.

According to the panel rethink Schools it"s explaining how schools can and should change for the best and easier way to teach kids. The article states "There must be a renewed focus on increasing the quality of teaching by [giving] teachers more time and opportunities to plan, collaborate, and work with advanced technology systems."In addition, schools cannot continue to use seat time as a measure of academic attainment, the report argues. Instead, measures of learning must include thoughtful assessments of a student's ability to apply and demonstrate knowledge in complex situations.I agree because instead of having students sitting down we should be able to have equipment to do demonstrated instead of just explaining. Student will participate in work and be focused when we are hands on. Honestly I know I will learn better being hands on then in a seat for 45 min to 50 min. If they rethink and change schools a lot teachers can already have their lessons planned and ready to teach.

Meagan:So how do you feel about computer cell phones and other electronics becoming more popular Charlene:I feel like its good but bad. Meagan:Why do you feel that way. Charlene: The good thing about it is that to get a job I don't have to go to the store and get applications for a job I can just go online and fill out a job. but the bad thing about it is people that communicate on these websites like "Facebook" "Myspace" and etc molesters put false pictures up of themselves and have these young girls meet them and these molesters rape them that's the only bad thing about computers i hate. Meagan:OK i understand. How have technology changed since back in the days. Charlene: It changed completely back then their was beepers trains cost 25 cents not trains cost 2.25. Kids are walking around with cellphones back then their were house phones and cellphone the size of a house phone Meagan:wow so do you like the way technology is now Charlene:yea its much quicker and faster Meagan:OK thanks Ms Lodge for your help and thanks for answering all the questions i needed answered. Charlene:Your more then welcomed

in conclusion technology had upgraded in a good. You get things done fast by working on computer. pictures are captured more clear with digital cameras and cost no money to develop your pictures. Cellphones are carried around and fit in your pocket. Books are being read from phones and ipods. What can I say I think I love the new technology that is taking over. Cars get you anywhere you please. I rather the world with upgraded technology/machines then the way it was back then.
