A Cultural Revolution

After reading the article, I realized that in the near future, everything will absolutely be technology based. This could have its advantages and disadvantages. Advantages being that everything would be easier and faster and a disadvantage would be power outages or different viruses that affect our forms of technology today. Although technoloy will have an huge impact in the future, I believe resources used today should not be put away completely for there is always reason to fall back on those sources.

Seymour Papert

The way Papert uses technology to provide educational ways of learning is really helpful. Education is the ultimate key to success and with all of Papert's avaliable digital opportunities, children will become more interested in learning. Although people laughed at Seymour Papert in the sixties when he talked about children using computers as instruments for learning and for enhancing creativity, his developments led him to be considered the world's foremost expert on how technology can provide new ways of learning.

Taking all of his developments in the class room will not be influential to students but for teachers as well. As the students learn the different methods of learning, teachers will have to opportunity to learn as well. As Papert's contributions go beyond the field of education, those of other fields learn these methods and apply them to whatever skills needed.
