What a cool video!

The video was very interesting and thought provoking. It shows just how important technology is to the world. So many people are using computers and the internet not only for fun but to communicate and to educate. As computers are becoming more important in this world, it is becoming a necessity to have at least some computer skills. Also, as more programs are being added that do more complex things, computer knowledge is going to have to go deeper. I thought it was great when they brought up the point that students from different countries are collaborating on projects. It is important to work with people with different experiences, ideas, and backgrounds.

This video did open my eyes in many ways. I realized that they were absolutely right about having schools teach computer classes so that students can function in 21st century society. Most people are being exposed to computers at an early age. For those families that cannot afford a computer however, it should be up to the schools to pick up the slack and make sure all students are computer literate. If students aren't exposed to computers in school, they will be at a loss when they go out into the world. Most jobs they get will probably require them to use a computer. Also if they decide to further their education, most colleges have registration online, and many professors have the students use e-mail to submit assignments. It is essential that all students know how to use computers!
