EDUC 730: My Thoughts on Technology in General

Hello All,

This being my first blog, I hope everyone will forgive me if I am unaware and accidentally violate any blogger etiquette.  I have been instructed in EDUC 730 to begin a blog and to discuss technology in general and so here it goes...

I agree with Jim Collin's idea of technology in his book, Good to Great, as an "accelerator."  I think technology can be fantastic if it is used to streamline processes, organize, automate protocols, improve communication and generally increase the speed and productivity of our daily lives.

I don't agree with it being used as a babysitter, or as something to fill up your time.  I don't sit around surfing the net, watching tv (I didn't turn my tv on at all yesterday, thank you very much), playing games on my iphone, or any of the other mindless things I see people use technology for.  I don't have that much time to waste in my life and if I did, I would probably find something productive to do.
