- The three top things that I read that made me think was the percentage of teachers using computers as an aid between the 4th grade and the 8th grade. The other one was the use of computers for school work by the kids in the 4th, 8th, and 12th graders. the last one was the downside of the use of Facebook.
- The issue of Facebook in my opinion was the issue that caught my eye the most. I think downside effect of Facebook can changed into a benefit but we need the parents to control their kids from excessive use of Facebook and force them to focus more on studing. Technology was made to help us but due to its advancements everyday people in general are addictive and just wait for the next big change. Even though Facebook usage brought students GPAS down by one point parents need to see this and remove any sort of technology from their kids.
- The downside of technology that I believe has been going for the last 30 years has been the addiction people have to technology. Now a days people cannot go on with any type of technology for more than a day. The only if fixing this is to have people focus more on socializing with others in public or have them be involve in any activity that would get them of the computer. We cannot stop the enevitability of this but we can slow it down and make better.
- The new google tv is coming soon and is supposed to rival tv brands like Samsung and Toshiba. The sony internet tv is going to cost around $200-300. These devices will be release in the upcoming month.
- Stakeholders:Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, Andrew Keen, and Jürgen Habermas
