Reflection 1

In my opinion the average person will never be up to speed with technology, as it is changing and growing more each day. These four articles made me think about our future and what type of technology that we may be facing one day.

Teacher Technology Usage Survey is one that I have seen as I observed a middle school math classroom. The kids were using computer programs to further their education in math. This program was a treasure hunt so they couldn’t move to the next quest until they answered the equation correctly. As they answer the questions it told a story to keep them engaged of what was to come next. I believe schools and teachers will begin to use more technology in the future.

Equivalency of Paper Versus Tablet Computer Survey Data seemed to not have much of a difference as to what people preferred. I think that more surveys will be performed using a program on a tablet for the convince of tabulating results quicker with less error.

The Home of the Future should become very useful to those with disabilities. Some people are unable to access drawers, this calls for someone to constantly follow them around helping with their every move. I think the technology in these home could be very beneficial to those with special needs allowing them to become more independent.

The Twenty-Five Best Inventions of 2015, almost all of them I didn’t know they were invented. A neat one was the desktop DNA lab, saving lives and finding cures is one of the most important things in life, this could eventually help reduce the number of lives lost to diseases. The gen baby monitor could allow more single parents to have more time doing other task than always having to check in on the baby.
