Chapter one explains the basics of computers and technology. It tells us how computers have become a common thing in many households and how it is all around us. Computers have evolved from a telegraph to a large mainframe computer and now a personal computer or laptop. We now can even enjoy our favorite television shows and music on our computers and made things more interactive. This has also overcome our youth and their response to technology.
The youth of today has become more media dependent than previous generations. Computers have interactive learning and multitask to communicate or do anything. With all of the new technology kids today have much more to do with technology. Children are now raised by technology and it is an everyday source of information or communication for them. With computers it makes searching for information sources, talking to their friends and listening to music at the same time all possible.
Education has even begun to use more and more technology to teach their students. With online textbooks and even classes, soon enough there will be no need for teachers. Technology will is now able to answer student’s questions about any problem and give examples. Computers have made teaching easier but with the growth of technology, teachers may not be needed anymore.

Nice summary and good points! However, this post does not contain something about new skills you acquired since your last posting that you think will be especially useful to you in your educational career and why you think so. You've got 1.5 points for Blog Journal Post #1.

the generation after us is so technology oriented i believe it has made them lack common sense. i like the idea of online textbooks because i think it will appeal to this generation more than the text we use now.however, teachers will always be needed, someone has to actually keep control of education and if teachers were not there... students could pick and choose
