Technology is important because it helps people do things faster and easier. It allows people to learn things faster, to communicate in an instant, to travel the world within days, to cut down construction of things in half (or more,) etc. Over the last five years technology has taken off. The items coming out are bigger, better, and faster than those of previous years, and they have greater uses. During the next five years I think that technology will become even more advanced, and we will be able to do more with it.
I use the internet for school work. When I get stuck on a problem that I do not know or need to find information that's the first places that I go. I also use calculators for my math and a translator for my Spanish. Personally, I use my phone, laptop, TV, and iPod on a daily basis. Sometimes when I'm doing work around the house I listen to my doc or the radio.
The only tools that I think I will ever use from Online B in the future would be digital storytelling, excel, screen-casting, and iGoogle. iGoogle is probably the most practical for lifelong learning because it has everything right at your finger tips. I will never use a blog, wiki, career exploration, or digital portfolio ever again. I didn't see the point in most of those and they aren't an interest of mine. My favorite thing to create was probably the digital stories because they were the most fun and didn't seem like work. My least favorite would probably have to be the wikis or the blog because they were annoying and I didn't see the point in them.
