I am plain spoken and say what I see, this gets me into a lot of trouble, I am kind and generous beyond normal sometimes and care deeply about my environment and world, my two sons keep me busy and focused most of the time and I have a very busy social network filled with some of the most amazing people possible. I am a student who wishes to teach other adults one day and hope to be successful in transforming individuals one at a time. I am a bahai and a very spiritual being.
Well where do I start, what technology do I have in my home? the hoover, the iron, the window, the bed, they are all forms of technology even the front door. But in regards to the more advanced current up to date forms we have them all, (well it feels like anyway) we have an Ison, a 12 year old boy who is constantly plugged into some form of an apple product, and we have a array of smart devices which communicate with each other. The smart TV can do everything our PC can and when hooked up to games consoles is even more accessible than any blue ray player or DVD (We haven't used DVD in our house for about 3 years). We have all the mobile technology you could ask for (who wants to talk to the people you are sitting next too anyway?) and every room is linked to the internet in some shape or form. When I was a teenager I would watch movies about the future and the promise of all the great things that would come and I agree the social world has changed a lot and that can clearly be seen in the home but I still await flying self drive cars and the hoover board.
My son is not happy unless he is surrounded like this!
Does Technology do as it promised?
I love this ted talk as it really makes me think about what I expected from technology and has it given me all it has promised. As a youngster who was sci fi mad. I would watch star trek and dream of a future where mobile technology would connect us to anyone in the universe at a simple click, and while it hasn't been invented for the universe as of yet, I am happy with the phone I carry in my pocket. My smart phone which has more power than NASA did when they landed humans on the moon that is.
The ted talk is informative and the speaker presents so well, he is charismatic and I found it very easy to engage with the talk, I will b using some of those technics in my lectures in future for sure.
