Thanks for the top ten list regarding technology. :-)
Technology is my area of research in art education and
I am pretty supportive of it in general; yet I hold
reservations about it. I remember reading somewhere,
I think it was Neil Postman's book called Technopoly,
that "technology is designed in such a way so that we
do not experience the world." So what do you guys
think about this statement? I would like your
thoughts.
Cheers,
Diane
