After watching the 2nd part of this program, my opinion hasn't really changed about our technology. Everything we do today is affected or has to do with technology. What ever happened to taking a walk or a hike, or going camping? Getting to experience the real world without your Blackberry. I think it's important to find time in life with out the virtual world getting in the way.
I couldn't believe that you can now set up meetings online by making yourself an avatar and host the meeting online. That is ridiculous in my opinion! Our communication skills are going down the drain if we can't confront people face to face.
Also, teachers seem to be having low expectations of students which is so unfortunate. Teachers don't want to assign long books because they think students won't be able to finish it or understand it. Schooling should not be based around this technology nor affected by it to the point that we don't want to teach students to their full potential. It is just lazy. How will we be able to come up with new technology, if we aren't learning about the old technology?
Some technology is good and important, but I think that other things are getting out of hand...
