Cyberspace and American Dreams
"A Magna Carta of the Information Age" Though reading this article and the class discussions, I felt that this was a very interesting article. Here we strayed into a very grey area of today's cyberspace domain. How do we institute rules and regulations to apply to the Internet? But more interesting to me was the discussion of this article about teachers using technology and where the class room is headed. If you divide the two so called groups you have the second wave teachers and the third wave teachers. The majority of classes which are offered on campus now come for second wave teachers. Teachers who use very little modern day technology in their class are the second wave. It seems that in a majority of classes that I have taken over the past three years, few teachers use the technology at their finger tips. They stick to the fashion of writing on the board or using basic overheads for notes. Little do they realize that there are so many more unexplored opportunities to communicate their knowledge to the classroom. Simple animations included into a PowerPoint presentation would become more valuable than simple note taking. This way the student could see what the profess
Should this person be black listed for this item that was related to the issue he or she was researching? This is such a grey area right now, and the general public has a very slim idea about what the government is capable of. The world will move on, however is the techno-phobic portion of society willing to step into space and walk with modern technology?. Students should be able to customize the ways that they learn, not have to adapt to what others want us to learn. I don't think the government should hide documents, but they obviously don't feel the same way. The technology is there for students to earn different degrees from schools across the United States or even the world. In doing these events I would be in contact with others and be foreced to interact. There is no reason to limit someone's learning. Why should the government be able to look inside my computer and invade my privacy? I think that the government should only look into peoples personal computers if they have been black listed by a key word that the government has issued. I think that it is the techno-phobic people afraid that if school classrooms are longer in form than they would lose their social interactions with people. Why should we be limited in paying costs for this technology if the teachers are not willing to use it? But then raises the question of what if we were allowed to take internet courses? Many people complained of how the social interaction between two people would be lost. Most of them probably don't realize that tacking info is sent out from their computers. I would still go outside of my home to work, play and do other day-to-day chores. Is technology out of control? Is technology good or is it bad? Technology is in fact out of control to the techno-phobic, but in control to the techno-philic. They are simply people who try to slow down day to day technology by not supporting it and opposing it's forms of technology. This is where we run into the issue of whether the government should be able to look into personal computers to monitor them.
