I think I am going to revise my fourth essay. I wrote about the “rate of change” that Birkerts spoke about in GE. I want to take this idea further and explore an actual timeline of technologies, hopefully as far back as writing. I also want to take a look at future technological goals (gas-less cars?) and goals that we thought we would have achieved by now (flying cars!).
tech is a way of life and cannot be ignored or denied.
New machine vs. old machine. Is there any newer technology that has not totally replaced an old machine? Paper? The fork and spoon was not replaced by the spork.
I might look at technology’s impact on the classroom/education…
