    The cost of an Iphone now is very close to the cost of a net book or a solid state computer. I think we should also explore the option of investing in bandwidth and filtering so that students can bring their own computers to school. The cost is not that different from phones now, students can mass personalize their computer, and then there is no issue with personal overlap. It's their computer. With cloud computing, students just have access to their Google accounts through bandwidth, not the network. Food for thought.

    You and I see the value in this and many school board members do as well. We have to help our communities understand the value. I worked with a board the other night that totally gets the need for integrating technology into the curriculum. Their concern was the community: "They think paper and pencil is good enough." You cannot ignore this perspective, because if enough people in your community agree with that idea, you will lose the tech supporter board members at election time. This turnover in leadership does not lead to long-term systemic change (which needs to include the integration of technology).

  • It's time Americans begin treating computer code the way we do the alphabet or arithmetic.
  • Learning to code means being able to imagine a new way of using the camera in your iPhone, or a new way for people to connect to each other, and then being able to bring that vision to reality.

    Code, or be coded.

The Technium: The Positive Balance of Technology - 1 views

  • More importantly the sum of all these technologies form an interacting whole much like a technological ecosystem. I call this super system of codependent inventions the technium. Like life itself, this whole system exhibits behavior that its parts do not. Just as we cannot detect any “hiveness” in an individual honeybee (only in the total system of the hive), we cannot see the behavior of the technium in a lone iPhone, knife, or refrigerator. The true influence of technology is felt in its whole system.
  • The patterns by which living organisms mutate and diversify in evolution so resembles the way technological varieties transform over time, that we can think of the technium as the “seventh kingdom of life.” Technology is an extension and acceleration of the same forces of evolution that crafted the other six kingdoms of life.
  • I would suggest that most of the problems in the world tomorrow will be caused by technologies that we are still inventing today.

  • Each new invention also creates more than one new moral choice for us, and this accumulation of free will over time supplies a positive charge to the technium. Over the long term technology gives us greater differences, diversity, options, choices, opportunities, possibilities, freedoms. This is the definition of progress.
  • We are involved in much more than just inventing novelty. When we create and use technology we're actually involved in something that's bigger than ourselves. We are extending the same forces that make life, accelerating evolution into the future, and we're increasing the possibilities, both for us, our children, and for the world at large. That is what technology wants.

    Great article on the evolution of technology and us.
