Michael Wesch's, "A Vision of Students Today" has some valid points, but was a bit vague, raising a few questions in my head.The points that were brought up really intrigued me. If a student probably won't have a job that exists today, then how do they know how to educate us? What are they doing to prepare us for this new world forming rapidly before our eyes? The reason we need to listen and understand about technology, is because at the rate it is growing at, technology could be the basis of life eventually. Even right now, I have to go to my grandma's house to help her send an important E-mail for work, or explain how to work a DVD player. It is becoming less and less acceptable to not have access to the internet or be able to use simple technology. The world is more connected than ever. After watching this video, I browsed through the suggestions box, and clicked on one titled, "A Vision of K-12 Students today", another version of the original video, made by a different author. As I was about to click away, I noticed something. One of the resources was Karl Fisch's "Did You Know 2.0". It shows how connected we really are, and that what you do on the internet could be viewed by a million different people, in two million different ways. Other people are really the way we learn most everything, and we should use that to get ourselves out there. As technology becomes increasingly more present in our lives, we need to embrace it and increase the resources we learn from, and maybe eventually, someday, everyone will have access to the minds of others and learn from them.
