The capabilities of the internet are quite awesome, but with that capability comes problems as well. I see people trusting the internet implicitly because such an overarching presence seemingly must be authoritative when this is far from the truth. Although more information is readily available, the problem is more information is readily available! Inaccurate information, too many logons and passwords, increased identity theft risks ... these are a few of the drawbacks that come with increased access and speed of retrieval. When the powergrid goes down or servers are compromised, will the new generation know how to kick it 'old school'?
To complete this assignment, I've posted comments on several others blogs.

That is so true, will they be able to "write a paper", "pick-up the phone", "put a stamp on something"
ReplyDeleteWriting papers on a computer is common as well as placing postage on an envelope or package using the computer. Penmanship is not taught after the 3rd grade as one can tell when the power goes out and we resort to writing numbers on paper. It is difficult to be anywhere without seeing someone plugged into or poking on technology. Too many apps on an iphone limits youths interaction with live beings. Can't help but wonder what the results of this technology will render?
