Written Analysis 3

Technology advancements and education have come a long way.  Of course it would not be possible without the inventors and educators of now and then.  They are our heroes and celebrities who have discovered that technology is the new method of communication and education in this time of age.  Sometimes I wonder where would we be today if we did not have computers, Ipads, cell phones, etc., that society is so dependent on.

Thanks to the innovators who are our heroes for inventing, constructing and producing such powerful technical devices that we now utilize in our homes, businesses, and schools.  These so called innovators are also referred to the Fathers of Technology.  Some examples of these fathers include Tim Berners-Lee who invented the Web; Vint Cerf, inventor of the Internet, and Bob Metcalfe, inventor of Ethernet.  Although many tried to be the innovator of computers, the only person who truly captured the stored-program computer was Alan Turing in 1945.  So who went on to invent the IPAD?  That would be Steve Jobs, the ultimate hero who has given the schools the opportunity to introduce this powerful tool to students as a learning application.

Of course, let’s not forget the celebrities, who in my point of view are the teachers and our children.  Before teachers were introduced to technology, lessons were planned in the old fashion way with pencil, paper, and chalkboard.  Now, students have the capability to learn using Ipads in the classroom and at home with homework.  In my opinion, a teacher is viewed as a celebrity because she is the one who a parent praises when their child exceeds in school or the one that gets blamed for when a child does not exceed or fails.   A teacher has many responsibilities in which the main priority is to make sure our children get a great education.  On top of her responsibilities, she now has to learn all of the new technological advances and carry on her knowledge to our children.  Our children are also branded as celebrities because often they know more than we do.  They are our teachers at home and most likely at school.  I don’t about you, but my child has taught me more about the usage of cell phones, computers, and applications.

Technology has been become so profound that without it we are lost.   It has become widely used within businesses but most important in schools.  Technology seems to be rapidly growing and everyday newer products are being introduced.  As soon as you get to learn and be comfortable with a new product, another comes along.
