If walls could talk... 10/28/11

Michael Wesch's A Vision of Students Today
 
What is his argument?


Although technology has helped society & the world make huge strides for centuries, it has taken away, or further removed us from the knowledge we are actually seeking or looking at. For example, the microscope has helped us see the details of the microscopic world and learn the parts of a singular blood cell, but what has been happening in real life  around us - without us - during that time?? Students, especially, are getting so drawn into this world of technology, as the years pass, we are less and less able to experience what's actually around us. If I was analyzing this  as a teenager's life, I would say our society is unconsciously using technology as an escape from the larger problems physically surrounding us
