If anyone that has watched this video does not come out with a reaction of "WOW," I will not understand them! I can not believe all of the information on this video for one, and for two-I cannot believe that this was actually created for such a small audience and is now being seen all over the world! That alone is enough to really make you take a serious look at how far we have come with our technological advances.
In this video, it is talks about how even our smallest of children are learning how to use computers now. This is the part that really hit home with me. I started to think back to just this morning when I was logging in so that I could play the learning games with my 14 MONTH OLD!!!! There are even special computers and furniture to accomdate our preschool cyber people now!
The video also brings it to our attentions of how being a "logged-on" society has affected everything in our lives, even down to our language. It points out that you would have never heard people one hundred years ago using words like cyberspace, or google it.
I feel that this video is one that everyone should watch, and that it should really make all of us, especially parents, want to raise the questions that it discussed which would lead to answers of where the education of our youth is being steered. It encourages each and every parent to want to make sure that their children are being taught to be able to survive in the 21st century. I think that the message of this video is wonderful! Afterall, if we don't make sure that our children are being prepared...if we do not make it known that we care...then our current students and children will be totally shut out of a rapidly advancing world that is only get better with every passing second!
I am very encouraged after watching this along with a little frightened of my own weaknesses in the world of technology! This video has given me the motivation to get up and learn and I encourage everyone to do the same!
