Reflection 4!

After reviewing the questions that were presented this week, I was surprised at some of my answers.  I know that I am more comfortable composing documents online.  I do not mind writing, but you are able to get things completed in a more timely manner when using the web, in my opinion.  My iphone is my memory now.  I do not remember anyone's phone number anymore because I do not have to.  It is so convenient to type the number, birthdate, or memo into my phone or iPad, and not have to worry about remembering the number.  Using technology as a "memory" is more organized in my opinion to because I do not have to worry about keeping up with numerous slips of paper containing important information.  I could not relate to the question about meetings, because at my current job, I do not have to attend any meetings.  I think that I would probably take my iPad with me to meetings though because it is just easier for me to use.  Unfortanely, I am one of those people that always has their cell phone with them.  It doesn't matter what I am doing, whether I am out running, or doing laundry, I always have my phone with me or nearby.  Our internet is always on whether we are home or at work.  We are turning into a technology generation.  I am not really sure how many activities I can engage in at once, however I do believe I am a multitasker.  I do not play video games, but I do play games on my iPad or iPhone, so I guess those could be considered computer games.  I think that I would be in the technology generation.  I rely on my phone, or iPad for everything.  If I didn't have internet access, I think I would go crazy.  I don't know what we did before texting, and all the technology was available! 
I think that we do need to make sure that even if our education system did go completely online, that we still have some sort of interaction with our students, especially K12 students.  I feel that they need that face to face interaction.  The interaction is important because it is going to help them in the real world.  They need to be able to interact with other people, rather than just typing or using the web for their assignments.  We need to make sure that the younger generation is not just sitting behind a computer, or some sort of device all day.  They need the interaction, and physical activity that the classroom provides as well.
