                For the future of technology, we don’t need to look any further than the present.  Every second of every day the world is changing.  And with change come necessary adaptations.  Technology allows us to find these adaptations.  It is advancing our present to a future never thought possible.               

 The working field is different every day.  Jobs are changing.  Technology opens opportunities for new jobs that could not be done otherwise.  When we learn new methods and uses of technologies in school, we learn skills necessary for some life-time careers.  Eventually, we will be heading out into the working force.  And what will a possible future boss be more impressed by?  Something completely written, all on paper?  Or would they rather see past blog posts, wikis, podcasts, viddlers, and voicethreads?  Personally, I believe technology shows advancement, creative thinking, and outstanding potential.           

     Say goodbye to dull, long, monotonous textbooks.  Technology expands your learning.  With technology, learning isn’t a chore, it’s a privilege.  Our class has been able to enrich the minds of younger students.  We’ve even written our own children’s books, and sent them to classes across the country.  (In some cases, to classes across the world).  The kids who received them were so excited, it made all our work worth it.  I believe technology can expand our everyday learning, and our work audience.  Knowing your work is read by others gives you the motivation to keep working and succeeding.  We can connect with others.  Not only can we teach, but we can learn.            

    There are so many reasons to use technology.  Most people think learning is completely boring, and tedious.  But when technology is involved, it honestly isn’t.  Learning becomes fun.  It makes the prospect of going to school brighter, the thought of homework less dim, and the future of work something to look forward to, not dread.
