Technology has brought immediacy to our lives. Now if there’s a fire or any other type of newsworthy event, it is reported on as it’s happening. We no longer have to wait for the evening news or read it in the newspaper the next day. Cell phones have changed the landscape of technology. Now we can take pictures of the event with our cell phones and upload it to the web and have it reach millions of people in a matter of seconds. This really is amazing and I believe unrelenting. I just read that now as unrest is taking place around the world, people are tweeting the events live. Think about this. Even if you don’t want to stay informed, you really don’t have a choice. Technology has changed how we report the news, how we look at the world, how we communicate and how we reach out to be heard. The sooner we embrace this technology, the sooner we can make it work for us in education and use it for positive change.
