Reflection #8

There are many examples of children having a great grasp on technology and how it works. I have five nephews and nieces, and even just between our generations children have learned so much and have advanced in the technological world. Many times when I am with them I ask them (up to 15 years younger than me) to help me with hooking up a game, DVD player, or for some kind of help with my phone. They are always able to help me and figure out these hard situations. Also, my parents are always asking me and my brother for help with technology. The help they ask for seems so obvious to us, but the advancement within our generations are so huge. A third example of generational technology advancement includes my dad, an elementary school principal. He always talks to me about how amazed he is with how much the kids know about technology and how to work so many of the systems that he did not understand until he was an adult. These advancements are examples of what is to come in the future. Technology is going to keep evolving and kids are going to keep growing in their knowledge of technology. It is very important to let students teach about great tools they use as well as integrating technology into their assignments. Technology seems to be a "subject" that younger generations really understand. I can barely wait to see the types of things this world is going to develop in the technology scene in the future. With so many kids having such a handle on technological tools, they will soon be able to develop bigger and better forms of technology that their kids can teach them to  use.
