Technologication [beta]

Our Solar system is approx. 5 billion years old. We have approx. 5 billion years left. When we only live at longest 100-115 years (very few people achieve this) 5 billion years seems ridiculously far away. In fact that is closer than we think. I fear the musings for our place in the Universe seems to be waning. Since the foundation of NASA was based off of fear from Cold War tactics that are now dead, funding is tight and we can only hope the government funds NASA well.

Our students will always be the future, because that is the next generation to teach the future (so on and so forth). We must be vigilant in continuing our prosperity as humans. We must help progress our society from rich to poor to be better than our current state, not only monetarily, but morally. As educators we must find the path of enlightenment that will best benefit our society. Technology has opened a whole new world for educators to operate in.

We are in the age of great communication. No matter what government regime someone lives under they can find out truths and non-truths like never before. Our world has never been this connected for almost all classes of citizens. While technology changes rapidly we cannot deny that the main uses of technology are slowing down. As we explore all the ways in which technology can be stretched we will reach a limit. Updates will continue to occur and new ideas will flourish, but a core categorization of technology will remain to be in place. At the forefront will be communication, wither by video, text, or voice, communication is now a staple of technology. I believe that as technology advances we will see that devices will become more condensed and multifunctional, but that the functions will cease to change.

I want to make sure that I have done everything I can, so that my children can do everything they can, to help our society in 5 billion years prosper.
