fischbowl movie

I love the quote about "We're teaching solutions to problems that don't yet exist." That is probably not verbatim but the point is there. Technology is exploding and those who don't use it will not be able to keep up.
The statistic I found disconcerting is that the average 21 year old will have watched 20,000 hours of television. I have a three year old and before I go into a litany of the ills of the times, I will just say that my hope is that we don't lose sight of the human beings and remember that technology is only a tool.
Technology can do amazing things and can bring people together from all across the world like never dreamed of twenty years ago. It has definitely changed our culture and in a way more drastic and far reaching I think, than generations before.
