Run!

Run!!!!!!!!!


I have a rather good relationship with technology. At times we don’t get along and I get angry, especially when facing a deadline. At times though, I do feel like I’m running from a stampede. The ubiquitous nature of all of this information is quite frightening. I see the geriatric population try to make sense of straight forward gadgets like cell phones and realize that I’m on the threshold of this stage in life and if I don’t keep up with the learning curve I will be run over. It’s difficult to stay one step ahead of the curve.
When I think of this in the context of teaching, I realize the herd is even larger than I imagined because my students are more comfortable with this knowledge explosion than I am. In fact, I believe they have a good amount of anxiety in the absence of all these gadgets. So… I must keep running!!
