Chapter 14 Adolescent Literacy

The potential of techhnology.  This chapter is one that many english and people who believe in the library do not like.  I say this having heard several of my fellow classmates dis-regard e-readers as they love books.  To that I say I love books too, but they do not need to be bound with paper and leather for me to enjoy the content.  Technology is moving at a pace that no person is able to comprehend as everyday more ideas come out because due to technology something impossible ten years ago is now possible.  The fact that we are moving into an era where things we see on Star Trek look obsolete and that the only thing we really dont have is the flying car shows that we are at the forefront of human achievement.  This has limitless meanings for the type of technology that our students will be using and introduced to.  Already freestanding p.c. towers are being considered a thing of the past as tablets and computers emerge that process five times faster with a fraction of the size.  technology is is changing everything including the classroom as we as teachers have to prepare our students to use that technology.
