Video Reflection
Recently having watched the movie, Surrogates, with Bruce Willis(no he was not on my couch watching it with me, he was starring in the film), my immediate response to this film was fear. I was scared that our world would turn into some psycho technological surrogate surreal world with computer tables and coffee tables-ah! I took a step back and thought about something we talked about in class--how teachers are afraid to use new ideas and technology out of fear of trying new things when education could be done the simplest and easiest way. I then thought about how I don't want to keep my students from knowing everything they can; I want to be the teacher that presents students with information and allows students to decide for themselves what they want to be interested in.
This footage of this futuristic technology surprised me when they said that it could be in stores as soon as 2007. I haven't seen any but it makes me wonder what kind of technology is out there that has been in the works for a long time. I'm thinking some pretty big things are coming up in our world of technology. I just hope that surrogates aren't!
I thought it was pretty cool how they could just set the camera on the table, and the pictures would just automatically download. It blew my mind when they set the cell phone on the table/computer and they could just transfer info on the phone. There are some brilliant minds out there. At one point, all those inventors of "Surface Computing" had a 4th grade teacher. I want to be the 4th grade teacher that facilitates an environment for minds like these to develop.
