The technology that I use regularly in everyday life is my laptop,
which I use for Microsoft Word and the internet; the internet I use for online
shopping, social networking sites (twitter and linked in), online banking and for
when I want to research a subject quickly.
I also use other forms of technology: such as an Amazon Kindle e-book
reader, a MP3 player for listening to audio books and music, a television set, a dvd player, a multi-media player, a Virgin Tivo Media Box and an Apple I Phone. Besides these more modern types of technology, I also use more basic forms of
technology: such as a microwave, toaster, vacuum cleaner, digital alarm clock,
etc.
So much of this technology we take for granted, without considering their advantages and potential as learning tools. I often educate myself and update my historical knowledge with documentary DVDs,. The internet has the potential for us to learn about any subject and with i-phones knowledge is always at hand. I believe we underestimate the knowledge at our fingertips in the age of technology.
