Ever since the early 1900's there has been a spike in the invention and discoveration of new technology. A lot of this has been great and improved the quality of life. After the invention of cars and the research of newer better technology we have the cars of today, that will only keep getting better until eventually they will probable be able to drive themselves with no human input. The internet was invented in the 1990's but no one really used it, except if you were wealthy or a researcher. Now, most people carry the internet with them in their pockets all the time, cell phones. People socialize not in person but on facebook or twitter. Based on this technology in education time line, kids will be using technology in the class room, at home, all of the time. Technology will be embedded into people, there wouldn't be a way you could tell your students to turn off their cell phones, because it's a part of them.

This is a link that talks about a possible pathway of the future in technology and education. What will the main, the standard or the bottom-line of what is acceptable for technology. Many of things that are used today will be obsolete, such and the newest computer software and smart-phone cell phones.
Many new advances are coming our way in the near future. We have to be prepared to accept some of the technology and learn about it, and how to use it. Some of this technology will be great for classroom interaction, and some of it will be very detrimental and eliminate jobs. If we don't keep up, it will run us over and the "smart" people such as teachers that don't, will become janitors and lunch ladies.
Let's keep up and make our world a better place for everyone.
