What is the role of collaboration in your day-to-day experience as a student?Which technologies do you rely upon for your school work? Which ones do you rely on for your personal life? Is there any overlap? What do you think a “vision of students” today will be in 8 more years?Your post should be around 250 words.
I think the message from the youtube video, A Vision of Students Today, absolutely remains true to this day. I think that students and even adults are using technology more in their daily lives. I think that the professors are using more articles, websites, apps online rather than the original textbooks. I think that students rely on technology for everything that they do, I know I do. With that being said, I rely on my computer 100 percent to complete all of my school work. If I did not have my computer, my work would never get completed. I also rely on my phone to complete some of my school work, such as emails that my professors send out or to get on blackboard. I also rely on my computer and my phone both for my personal life, without either device I would be disconnected from the world. My social media, texts messages, and emails are all apart of my daily life. There is an overlap with my devices that I rely on in my personal life as well as to complete my school work. I use both my computer and my phone everyday to accomplish tasks for school and to get news about the world and my friends. In eight years I think that the world will be completely technological. Books will be gone, any information that will be needed will be online, in an app, or other creative ways. I think that the world will keep growing with technology and will come up with more advance materials as the years progress.
Do you really think books will be gone? People have been saying that since the late 80s (we’ll look at an article from 91 that suggests that books will be gone forever because of hypertext). It’s never really happened, and some studies have shown that print books are gaining popularity. Do you like to read online or from a print book? I can go either way, but there is certainly an appeal to holding a nice paper book.
