Week 5 Special Feature World Without Wires Special Feature
Please post a response the the Special Feature "World Without Wires Special Feature" on pg. 337 in our text book following the same criteria as the previous posts.
While reading in the book about “A world without wires” it made me realize how dependent on technology our society is. It was really interesting to see how technology continues to develop and dramatically grow throughout the years. Before reading I always assumed that wireless technology was considered new, but it has actually been around more than 100 years thanks to Guglielmo Marconi who sent the first wireless teletype message by using radio waves. Because of him and the continuous developments in the technology department, the majority of the world uses wireless connections in their everyday life. Since Marconi there have been many advancements in the wireless world such as: wireless personal area networks, wireless local area networks, cellular radio technology, bluetooth, 4G, hotspots, and tablets. What I found really interesting is how relevant tablets have become over the years. It amazes me that experts are predicting that by 2015 there will be approximately one billion tablets sold worldwide. As a society we need to realize that wireless technology will continue to change but we need to stay updated- especially as teachers!
"A World Without Wires" was actually an eye opener for me. Society would not be the same without internet and technology and that is a known fact. We would not have half of things we have today in this world if it wasn't for technology. It's always nice to see that society is gaining more information for the better and grow all together. Before reading this article, I knew technology was a big deal but now I really know that it has developed into something bigger throughout many of years. Marconi is a HUGE part of technolofy because he has made new advancements such as wireless technology. You can bring your technology anywhere and everywhere. There's networks that let you send pictures, music, files and more over bluetooth, wifi, 4G and more. This society will continue to grow and teachers need to realize they need to stay informed by this to help their students for their future.
A world without wires offered a great story and something we can look at and be thankful for the things we have. The internet is a very powerful tool that has transformed the world into a much closer community then it was 20, 40, or even a 100 years ago. It is crazy think how much internet has evolved in the short time it has been around. Today almost everyone has a phone in their pocket that works like a computer, and if you told people that 50 years ago they would be astonished. Marconi is the main pioneer of this, considering he was one of the founders of wireless technology. Teachers today should make sure they utilize the internet, and be thankful that they are teaching during a time where we have such great access to this tool
A few weeks ago I went to a camp where I was without service on my cell phone and there was no Wi-Fi connection. For the first time in a while I became aware of just how much I use wireless devices in my everyday life as it was a strange thing for me to be without. Reading the section “A World without Wires” made me aware of the constantly evolving world of technology and the significance in the creation of wireless devices. In my high school, all students were given iPads for educational purposes, and I thought they were a fantastic investment as students were able to carry around this tablet with them wherever they went and a whole new world of opportunities was presented with these iPads; such as taking notes on the tablet, video messaging, searching the internet, and storing pictures, as well as many other functions. Wireless devices are an incredible invention and should be used to the best of its abilities.
"A World Without Wires" was a very interesting read. I knew our society was dependent on technology, but I never really realized how much they depended on it though. Society would defiantly not be the same without internet and technology. Even comparing to what my parents had back in the 70-80’s was totally different then now. They just came out with big cell phones. They didn't have the internet when in grade school and high school like I did. When looking at all the gadgets they have now I growing up in a world of technology didn't even realize how many different type of technology is out there. My parents use half the gadgets on page 339-341 like the Mobil Hotspot is huge in my house. We use it when traveling and my mom uses it to work on documents that need to be done when she is traveling in the airport or driving in a car. But I think these new advances in technology like Steve Jobs with the Ipad and ITouch can be very helpful with students in classrooms and can bring new information to the table. Without the internet most the students wouldn't know what they were talking about or learning about because let’s face it we all need a little more help when it comes learning new material. The internet is our primary care for us. But if used right I think that technology can help advance education instead of kill it.
“A world with out wires” was kind of a slap in the face of reality of how much we depend on technology. I probably have not even gone two hours while awake, not working, in the past five years with out using technology. Last semester I had to do a project where I went 24 hours with out using my phone or social media. I felt so bored and lost. I couldn’t see what my friends were up to and I did not know what to do with my spare time. It was a big wake up call how needy I am of my phone. I feel like I use my phone for everything from creeping on my friends to answering questions for me. I feel incomplete if I leave my house with out my phone because I never know when I will need it. It is probably not the best thing how dependent our generation is on technology but I also don't think its the worst. If practiced correctly it can help us advance in many ways in and outside of the classroom.
After reading A World without Wire – Tablets, Apps, and More I found it very interesting that wireless communication has actually been around for about one hundred years. I always that that wireless communication was a somewhat new thing and that’s why everyone seemed to be so reliant on it. Wireless technology does play a huge role in everyone’s lives every day. I know that if I’m not on my laptop than I’m most likely watching TV or on my phone and I know that’s how it is for a lot of people as well. There are a lot of wireless technologies that can be used educationally. My aunt and uncle have an ipad that they use just for my cousins that are filled with educational apps that are directed at younger children and I think it’s interesting that people are turning to apps as a way to educate them.
"A World Without Wires" sparked an internal debate between the side of me that is addicted to technology likes phones and computers and the "old man" in me that thinks wireless communication is ruining how we as humans interact. It brought up some great points and outlined how much easier wireless technology positively impacts my life and the lives of others around me. Gugliemo Marconi was a pioneer who has made a lasting impact and shrank the world as we know it, but I can't help but shake a fist at him every time I see four people at dinner all on their phones, ignoring the people around them. As a teacher, my love/hate relationship cannot affect the way I incorporate all forms of technology in the classroom. I must be fluid and flexible and adapt my lessons to the technology that is present in order to maximize my full potential.
Looking around at my peers and the college environment our society seems to be entirely depended on technology. We use some form of internet or innovation daily. These advances create new opportunities for use educationally and on many other levels. I am one who feels it may be on its way to having went to far as a technology based world, but with the dependency and opportunities it creates I will integrate technology into the classroom where I feel beneficial.
While reading in the book about “A world without wires” it made me realize how dependent on technology our society is. It truly amazing to see how technology continues to develop and dramatically grow throughout the years. Wireless technology does play a huge role in everyone’s lives every day. As a college student, majority of my homework is based around technology. This class here is completely based on the use of my laptop. We can that Marconi for this. Marconi has a large role in technology because he has made new advancements such as wireless technology. I can personally remember the TV commercial that promoted the use of a laptop with having to use Ethernet cord. You can bring your technology everywhere now. You can send pictures, listen to music, share files and more over Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 4G networks and more. All of these changes occurred over such a short time frame, and we can expect many new further advancements as the years go on.
After reading "A World without Wires", let me first say I had no idea how long ago the first wireless transmission was! 100 years ago seems unreal! It really sticks to me how disconnected (no pun intended) we would be from other places in the world solely relying on wired connections. The necroponte flip hypothesis, seems pretty weird to me at first too; but when the explanation is given about the TV antennas it kind of makes sense that we would change type of technology as we make things newer; even if it is just a flip between our two types. This article made me open my eyes about just how massive of a connection wireless technology brings us. When I was in High School, I moved from a location, so buried in the middle of nowhere, we could only support dial-up to a slightly-less of nowhere, where I have wireless internet. Depending on your thought process this can seem so backwards to run a connection to the middle of nowhere and use waves to reach a place that is less remote.
After reading “A world without wires” I realized how much this society depends on technology. When i finished reading it, I tried to imagine what communication would be like and how we would interact with people from other countries or even states, and it hit me how hard and near impossible it would be without technology. As some of my classmates mentioned, I also was unaware at how long wireless technology has been existent. I guess i always thought of anything before my time to be old and not technologically savy. However, with Marconi's invention, it is evident we have come a long way. With the estimate that over a billion tablets a year in 2015, it shows how much we rely on instant technology. Although there are many pros to this, and i would say all of us have benefited and enjoy tablets, i think the cons are pretty heavy too. For example, this class suffers I think due to wireless and portable technology, because most of us rely on our phones or ipads to look something up or complete a quick task, and don't take the time to truly explore online or sit behind an actual computer and learn the functions of it. Iphones and Ipads are completely different than computers, which hinders our ability to use computers in their full capacity.
Reading “World Without Wires” made me realize how quickly our world is changing, which is bound to affect the way we teach in classrooms. Technology has made it easy to share ideas with somebody across the globe in seconds, meaning we can share ideas with our students in even less time. This time-space compression is something that will always progress. Marconi was an amazing innovator in the field and has directly impacted the way I am going to teach. With the ever-changing world of technology it is my job to change with the time. What’s after wireless? That’s the question this article made me wonder.
The Article “A World Without Wires” explained how technology is changing over time and how we are taking advantage of what these technologies have to offer. Although there are some downsides to all this dependency on technology, there are also may benefits. This article, it touched on all the new gadgets and the ways they are benefiting the life of the everyday student. Students are turning in homework assignments via tablets now through apps that allow students to create and submit assignments, like Google drive. It is so much more convenient for students these days, who have busy schedules, to just pick up their iPad and be able to work on anything, anywhere. With apps like Google hangouts, a student can easily contact other students with any questions or problems they might be having. The world of technology has become so much more accessible and easier, not only for students, but for teachers too.
“A World Without Wires” really opened my eyes to what technology really is. I had no idea that technology had been playing a roll in society for as long as it has. Technology has clearly changed over the years, however, it has been an important element to the world for more generations than just ours. However, technology today has made great strides to not just be for entertainment during our free time, but educational tools as well. I feel as though if there was no more technology or we were in fact without wires, a lot of us would not know what to do. I know many teachers whose lessons rely on technology and people who cannot go for more than an hour without their phones. I believe that with the right modes of technology, technology can in fact be an extremely useful resource both in and out of the classroom.
“World Without Wires” refers to our “always-on” society and how everywhere we go we want to be connected. This reminds me of when I went to Puerto Rico on a mission trip this summer and they did not have Wi-Fi and many of the people who brought their phones could not get data. I personally didn’t have a phone with me and I got to observe all of them from the outside looking in and it was hilarious to see my peers struggling to function without their precious phones and Internet. There’s nothing wrong with any of these things within reason, however we as teachers need to be aware of how important these devices are going to be to the generations to come who have never lived without cell phones or tablets. We can poke fun all we want for their technology dependency, however, we need to find the best way possible to encourage them to use what they have been handed to the best of their ability to benefit the work world they will soon be a part of.
"A World Without Wires" really hit home with me. It is actually scary how dependent we as a society are on technology. It's all around us. It is not just something that is handy to have, it has become a necessity in our every day lives. I, myself, am very dependent on my cell phone and laptop. I bring then both everywhere I go. In our world today, there is not much that we do not use that is not technology based. Wifi is a good example. It has made its way into just about every building whether it is protected or not protected. Since I know how addicting and dependable our wireless phones and other handheld devices are, it scares me to see what the future holds because everything keeps on getting better, smarter and faster.
"A World Without Wires" seems to be almost unthinkable. We so easily take for granted all the things we have in our daily lives, especially through technology. Our society seems to always be "plugged in" and "turned on". It is rare for me to know someone that doesn't own a cell phone device, and not only that, but someone who doesn't always have their device with them. It is almost as if my cell phone is a part of who I am, because when it is not around me I feel somewhat incomplete and insecure. It is almost as if I am living in fear of missing out on something important without it. A cell phone is so much more than just a way of communication. With a smart phone, you have almost any sort of information literally at your finger tips, within seconds. It is mind-blowing when you truly think about it. I can't even remember what life was like before I owned a cell-phone, let alone a smart-phone. It almost makes me sad sometimes to think of our world, or society, and how dependent we are on technology. Then again, it is how life has come to be and the world has changed with it, it is not so much the technology changing our world, we are just adapting to life changing in general. Before technology, people still had dependences, this day in age is just different.
A World Without Wires completely describes my life! I am a person who is always on my phone and when I travel I have my phone, ipad, and laptop with me. These technology’s have made us want to be “always on” referring to always being on our wireless technologies. I never thought how wireless was an old concept(100 years) I always considered it to be something new and apart of our generations technology advances. MY family always gets mad at my sister and I for being on our phones all the time and say were “glued to our phones” . People say its bad how dependent we are on our technologies but because of our love for technology we have created so many great things such as Bluetooth which allows us to be hands-free which has been great to eliminate people on the phone and driving. People are able to connect to so many different networks Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, wireless printing and Bluetooth. But these technologies help our social and personal lives but it also can have a great impact on learning. Ipads and computers allow us to project videos and presentations. Without having Wi-Fi we couldn’t have Smart boards, our favorite interactive white boards. There are also apps that students can use for their personal learning such as Quizlet. Quizlet allows a person to make online flashcards to study. Students can also save money in college by buying or renting online textbooks. Online textbooks are great because you can access them on all different types of technologies that makes studying a lot more convenient for someone who is busy and on the go. If used correctly and in a positive manner technology can be a great learning tool for students.
Reading "A World Without Wires" kind of made me sit back and really think about all of the advancements in technology that have come to be, and to realize that I am living in such a unique time period. Some of the things we have in our society today such as the IPhone that can pretty much do anything a computer does, wifi, laptops with incredible processors. The list goes on and on and what seemed to be unthinkable 100 years ago, we now take for granted sometimes. The teaching and learning world has evolved from textbooks to and writing in notebooks to laptop applications, iPads and smart boards. As the classroom evolves, we as educators must evolve with it.

“A World Without Wires” was very interesting for me. This made me reflect on how much having wireless technology is not just crucial to me but my peers, teachers and future students. Having Internet now a click away on a phone or mobile devices has changed way we interact. I love technology but I do understand the problems technology like this has caused. As a teacher of this generation I have to be prepared for students using the Internet wrong in class or using it to cheat. It has also created a dependency to have a device like a pad or phone around you at all times. That being said, I believe the positives out way the negatives. Being connected to the world provides resources, social interactions, and opportunity.

It is almost as if my cell phone is a part of who I am, because when it is not around me I feel somewhat incomplete and insecure. It is almost as if I am living in fear of missing out on something important without it. A cell phone is so much more than just a way of communication. With a smart phone, you have almost any sort of information literally at your finger tips, within seconds. It is mind-blowing when you truly think about it. I can't even remember what life was like before I owned a cell-phone, let alone a smart-phone. It almost makes me sad sometimes to think of our world, or society, and how dependent we are on technology. Then again, it is how life has come to be and the world has changed with it, it is not so much the technology changing our world, we are just adapting to life changing in general. Before technology, people still had dependences, this day in age is just different.
ReplyDeleteA World Without Wires completely describes my life! I am a person who is always on my phone and when I travel I have my phone, ipad, and laptop with me. These technology’s have made us want to be “always on” referring to always being on our wireless technologies. I never thought how wireless was an old concept(100 years) I always considered it to be something new and apart of our generations technology advances. MY family always gets mad at my sister and I for being on our phones all the time and say were “glued to our phones” . People say its bad how dependent we are on our technologies but because of our love for technology we have created so many great things such as Bluetooth which allows us to be hands-free which has been great to eliminate people on the phone and driving. People are able to connect to so many different networks Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, wireless printing and Bluetooth. But these technologies help our social and personal lives but it also can have a great impact on learning. Ipads and computers allow us to project videos and presentations. Without having Wi-Fi we couldn’t have Smart boards, our favorite interactive white boards. There are also apps that students can use for their personal learning such as Quizlet. Quizlet allows a person to make online flashcards to study. Students can also save money in college by buying or renting online textbooks. Online textbooks are great because you can access them on all different types of technologies that makes studying a lot more convenient for someone who is busy and on the go. If used correctly and in a positive manner technology can be a great learning tool for students.

ReplyDeleteWithout Wires.
ReplyDelete“A World Without Wires” was very interesting for me. This made me reflect on how much having wireless technology is not just crucial to me but my peers, teachers and future students. Having Internet now a click away on a phone or mobile devices has changed way we interact. I love technology but I do understand the problems technology like this has caused. As a teacher of this generation I have to be prepared for students using the Internet wrong in class or using it to cheat. It has also created a dependency to have a device like a pad or phone around you at all times. That being said, I believe the positives out way the negatives. Being connected to the world provides resources, social interactions, and opportunity.
