Technology

Technology is grand isn't it? Most of the time.

I had a teacher at Munich American High School that said he believed than in at least 20 years time, everyone would walk around with little black boxes that would do anything for you. He was right.

There is so much to do with education and technology. This year, I have a projector which really changes the dynamics of teaching. When I get my interactive board, it will go up even another notch. Plus, there is so much you can do with the internet. I also love our poster maker and computerized die-cut. What's next?

However, technology is quite irritating too. Perhaps it's user error, but I hate it when technology does things for your automatically. For example, our copier at work randomly shrinks things for you. I don't want it to, but it does. I've also noticed that Microsoft Word (and Open Office) will capitalize things for your or make bullet lists when you don't need them. It can be frustrating.

But in the grand scheme of things, technology is good. After all, I met my wife that way!
