On page 68 the graphic revolution is talked about in the second paragraph. If you could take a mental picture of the technology you see being used in the educational setting, would you see it as a setback or something that is helping our students’ progress? There are so many different types of information being thrown our way (billboards, newspapers, video outlets, radios, and computers are listed on page 69; just to name a few). After reflecting over the first four chapter of Technopoloy: The Surrender of Culture to Technology, it makes me question how am I putting these things to use, and am I using them appropriately.
We are finding more and more that technology is being brought in to solve problems. On page 61, Postman refers to technology conferences and how everything is bigger, better, and faster than the previous year. I feel like some schools are bringing in so many new types of technology, they do not know how to harness the power and put it to good use. Some is for the better; others could have been left on the wayside. How many problems are being solved in your school setting through the use of technology? Do you feel that it has helped or just been overall a waste?
