I LOVE the access to information that the internet affords. Growing up, we had a set of World Book Encyclopedias and I went to these regularly for information and answers. And, now when I have question, the answer is at my fingertips! I love being well-informed, learning and making connections - all possible because of technology. But I also still memorize lines of poetry, write handwritten letters, and print my photographs. We live in a glorious time!Donna Hopkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03102284065955298362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30459217.post-85946214567034413542017-01-15T22:49:02.736-05:002017-01-15T22:49:02.736-05:00I am grateful for the technology we have today (as...I am grateful for the technology we have today (as long as it's working!!!). It's opened the world up to knowledge and education. I'm even supplementing my line dancing classes with lessons on You Tube, and one goal I have for the year is to learn as much as I can about my iPhone, especially its potential as a camera. I love that you are always learning and pushing yourself, Peggy. When I was teaching, I found ways to work memorization into the curriculum ~ like having my class do a choral reading of "In Flanders Fields" for our Veterans Day Assembly, or acting in plays, or learning to recite poems after reading them "Anne of Green Gables", and yes, I made them memorize the dreaded math facts for their basic arithmetic work. Old-fashioned, I know, but I believed in it and too bad if you landed in my class! Haha, you were going to do it! Have a good one!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30459217.post-57428093663953273442017-01-15T21:21:05.098-05:002017-01-15T21:21:05.098-05:00I feel so badly for my friends and family who will...I feel so badly for my friends and family who will not (they actually refuse and get mad) take advantage of the computer. My computer so enriched my life with the startling discovery that I was a writer, educating me on world and national news and u tubes video on things as frivolous as how to put on eye liner. texting the children who do not use the phone or e mail, my beautiful rose gold I phone keeps me in touch with them, and my Kindall which puts the internet at my fingertips when the computer is at my desk. <br /><br /><br /><br />Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747761867021537362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30459217.post-81023165654156916642017-01-15T20:47:39.090-05:002017-01-15T20:47:39.090-05:00LOL! see that line "i always think i'll ...LOL! see that line "i always think i'll make it worse" ... <br />THAT of course should follow 'goes wrong.'

the world now...it will be very interesting indeed! <br />the world now is changing at nano seconds speed. I also was fortunate in having to use a computer at my work.<br />so I became very comfortable with a lot of it. we had an extremely complicated program we had to use. but even now... <br />I am not comfortable when something 'goes wrong!'<br />I do think people coming up will not have to memorize anything. they will simply know how to access the info they want!<br />like you... not so sure that's a good thing.<br />I always think i'll make it worse!
