Futuring: Assessment and new media

The film epic2015 was about how technology has evolved and predictions where technology is headed. The major points that I got from the video are:

~Technology is changing and growing at a very fast pace
~In 2015, a newspaper could be obsolete and Google give personalized news information
~Google might overpower Microsoft and become the leading internet giant

How technology advancement affects me as a teacher:
~As a Windows MSWord user, if it’s true that Microsoft won’t be keeping up with the technology wave and could actually be removed from the playing field- then my current computer skills become obsolete.
~Students need decoding skills taught to use greater analytical skills to process the information that is received to ensure that they do not become “programmable.”
~It is also a very exciting time to be a teacher as the worlds next technology leaders could be sitting in my classroom and probably already have skills past my own.
