In the Life to a teenager  by Dr.Wesch I agree that it is a big problem that schooling has not kept up with technology. And I don't understand why we have this problem as we have encountered this problem before so we shouldn't have to again. If technology was in a classroom it would be much easier to learn. It would also prepare us for the business world where technology is used everywhere and is continuously used more frequently. By the time we get out of college the business world will heavily depend upon technology and unless colleges step it up then we won't be completely prepared. What I'm not sympathetic about is that the students in the video spend so much time face booking and other stuff and then complain that they have to multitask through the day. If you spent one hour less on the phone and one hour less on face book then you would not need to multitask so much. I am also not sympathetic to the fact that they didn't start any of the wars or ethnic and religious hatreds is not relevant; generations have always inherited wars and hatreds from the generation before them. But if we recognize the education problems and that we aren’t that special then we might be able to improve the world first by fixing education needs then dealing with as many other world's problems as we can. This affects me because I’d rather my generation actual accomplish something instead of just complaining that the generation ahead of us messed us up. So in my conclusion the only good point in the video was that schools are not keeping up with technology.
