Prensky Part 1

      I feel that I was born before technology became so widespread but I have grown and  adapted to how important technology is to us.I love the fact that technology has become so wide spread making it a lot  easier to get things completed and find resources with a few clicks of the  mouse.I sometimes still prefer talking  on the phone over text messaging my friends.I think a card from the store is a lot more personal than someone saying  Happy Birthday through a Facebook comment.There are some of the old-fashioned things that I still do but they seem  to become more obsolete as the years pass.I can see our younger generations are so into technology it does not seem  like they would be able to survive without their
videogames and their  iPods.I have witnessed young kids  totally glued to their televisions playing video games for hours on end.I was no that type growing up, I had books to  read, or I was forced to go outside and play, not stay cooped up in the house  all day.But this is the society that we  have grown to accept, and I feel as if it will continue to progress more and  more at a very rapid pace.
