Growing up in a technological world.
Posted by Jeremy Tarbush
I ran into a page reminding us how our kids won't know how many of the things we grew up with were. Videocassettes, blowing into a video game to get it to work, and many other analog media are simply a way of the past. It may be our job to remind our kids of the innovations that have been made to made them more technologically savvy. This learning will make them better able to navigate our future.
It is also important for us to stay on top of modern technology so we don't forget how to program the "name futuristic machine here". I know my grandfather blatantly refused to learn anything with a digital dial and stuck to his old wind-up watch. While I respect that, learning more of the old while keeping an eye towards the new makes us more childlike and keeps the fires of learning burning.
So, never stop learning and keep your head up, your powder dry, and your steam powered with the positronic brain working. ;)
