Reflection #2

I think that the biggest technology problems facing kids today is the haves and the have nots. There are some kids that are exposed to new technology on a regular basis because of the schools that they attend and their home lives. While there are others who might have a computer but not have access to the internet at home or any exposure to some of the technology that is being used in more and more classrooms.
Since some of this technolgy is really new there doesnt seem to be a lot of studies on the effects of this technology on the future careers of students, I would have to imagine that those kids that were not exposed to things like a smart board or document camera or computer learning software will be behind the power curve when they become adults.
