Did You Know 3.0 and Mr. Winkle Wakes

Did You Know 3.0 made me realize what little I knew about the advances in technology . The facts were just amazing. Technology is ever growing compared with the fact that information is much more easily attainable than compared to when internet was rather new. A good example is that it took 50 years for to radio to reach 50 million buyers and it took only 3 years for the ipod. It's not because the radio didn't have the people to buy them, it's because the people did not have the means to buy them. Everything now is more accessible and better.

The basic idea of this video was how easy information can be gained. Without the internet this video would not even be possible? By the time someone got all the information together it would be wrong before it would be published. With all these new advances who knows what tomorrow will bring.



Mr. Winkle Wakes was an interesting video. The world that he awakes to is unfamiliar territory because so much has changed. He does not recognize anything from his world 100 years ago. It shows how much we relay on computers now and it makes us wonder how people lived without all this technology long ago.

The one thing that was odd to me was that computers were not being used in schools. You would think with all of our new technological advances that teachers would want to give the students a head start by teaching them early. I think this video could be an insight for teachers as to the best methods of teaching for students. Teaching methods could be more hands on with less lecturing so that students can understand better. Schools should be keeping up with the changing times.
