Week 13: Future Technology in Education

The future of technology and education
     In this article, the author discusses how connection in school could really increase with technology that helps you to gain instant access to all homework assignments and projects.  By simply loading a windows account, all of your saved files can be accessed from pretty much any computer.  Although I do not see this coming into the schools system any time soon because of the money that would be need to provide for it, I think it would be cool to be able to access assignment in case you forgot it at home or have questions on a particular problem.  This program that the author mainly talks about is called Cloud Builders or cloud computing, which is a web based storage system.  He also gives some big futuristic things such as holographic lecture styles and such.  Technology is being creating and improving at a big rate of speed.  Ten years ago cellphones used to be these big, bulky things that were a slight pain to carry everywhere.  Now almost everyone in the US carries one and some are almost paper thin.  Computers and TV continue to shrink and get thinner and the SMART or Promethean Boards are becoming more widely used.
