Technology Post

I believe that technology has a very important role in every classroom and education related field. There will always be people who take advantage of technology by going onto pointless sites like Facebook and Youtube, but even things such as those sites can serve a small purpose. Youtube is a way for people to interact with others and to get their videos out there for the world to see and to understand things about other people. Even sites like Facebook or Myspace can be helpful in blogging or meeting other people to exchange ideas. I know a few people who find people on Facebook to ask questions about class assignments because it is an easy way of communication. As for the quote in the article saying, "technology does not always lead to a desired level of proficiency" I think this is false in a way. No matter what your job may be computers or technology somehow affect the way we live and work. I may not be advanced with a computer but when it comes down to it I can get my work done because I know how to accurately search for topics online or to communicate to people when I need help.
