PLN #11

I watched "2020 Vision" by Karl Fisch this video takes about how the world would change dramatically. This video matters because he wasn't that far off, the world is still changing dramatically. Mr. Fisch refers to events that have already occurred and builds off of them as far as year 2020. This matters to me because I will be graduating in 2014 and so much has changed scene I was in kindergarten. Scenes then millions of internet sites have been created, Moodle was created, and countless amounts of technology have made their way into the class room. The million sites out on the internet supply a limitless amount of information instead of what we find in textbooks. Moodle is a great resource for kids and teachers alike, and that's only come in recently, so there must be greater ideas and inventions yet to come before I graduate. Currently in my English class we have laptops for everyone that we us for writing essays, doing, research, and much more. Basically we can do everything we could have done on paper except faster and more efficient. Without these tools we would probably be learning less then students’ full potentials. This video matters to education because our form of education will be around as long as the human race exists. That means that education will keep evolving and be helped along by technology. New inventions will change our schedule how we think, courses, life, and how we spend our time at school. "2020 Vision" matters to the world because as the video progressed Google became a bigger part of our life. Does that mean Google could have a Monopoly in the field of technology? Monopolies are outlawed but once Google gets big enough not even the federal government will be able to stop them. "2020 Vision isn't accurate buts' got the basis down; will technology evolve so fast we can't keep up with it?
