Comments on thefischbowl--Did You Know?

     After reviewing the YouTube piece I call "Did You Know?", I was nearly overwhelmed to think of not only how far we have come technologically, but how far we are still progressing each day.  The movie mentioned that very possibly, the coputer will be able to outprocess the human brain.   I was most struck by the idea that our children will one day be living in a world where t"he literacy" will be computer literacy.   This day is already upon us, and compared to some nations, we are falling behind technologically.   Worldwide, the ties that bind us are eTies, and if the U. S, is to stay competitive in the world, we need to instill computer literacy in our children early.   That is why I believe thet initiatives such as ACCESS and ALEX are important milestones in our educational system, but we still have a ways to go. In the face of state buget cuts and similar cuts in education spending, we as parents and educators have a responsibility to our children--the future of this global technology--to fight to keep technology in the classroom.
