Chapter 5 reflection

Through reading this chapter I have become much more informed about all of the different ways that people can benefit from technology and all that we take for granted in technology. Especially in places outside of the educational setting, technology is used as a daily tool and is sometimes over looked and taken advantage of. Working offices for examples use many diverse technologies (i.e. fax, printer, telephone, intercom, etc.) Even wifi friendly restaurants are starting to pop up everywhere. People live their lives daily not realizing how much they are benefiting and how much they are learning from all of this technology. People daily experience and interact with so much technology that ultimately we will be life long learners. One of the things that I found to be very interesting is how adult education is becoming a much more popular thing to do as adults are living longer now days. Because of online classes adults are able to plan their schedules according to their work and daily life routines. This is an amazing thing about technology because it enables adults to go back and finish or continue their education. It is a wonderful example of how great technology is and how incredibly it benefits our lives making it easier for us to succeed.
