I really liked how at the beginning of chapter one it began listing approximately 10 different scenarios in which technology had been a positive factor in a variety of people's lives. While I was aware of how beneficial technology is, these different situations opened my eyes to the truth that there isn't just one type of technology nor one specific way that lives can be enriched and improved due to the Knowledge Revolution. I completely agreed with the statement that read "The changes sparked by the Knowledge Revolution are neither all good nor all bad" (pg. 6). While I do worry that sometimes technology is beginning to be the center point in our youth, I also understand the importance of working with what the students will be able to relate with.
I am a bit torn on how I will react to this technological revolution. I believe the technology should really only be used to aid an educator, not replace them. I intend to use a variety of different technological tools to be able to educate my future students but to also keep in mind that I need to pull my own weight; I can't leave it to advances in technology to be the sole reason behind a student's learning.
