I read an article called "Third World America" by Dave, what I thought mattered from this article is the importance of technology and keeping up with our present world.
This article was about how Dave went to northwest Wisconsin and his whole point of being there was to discuss the how modern technology is effecting the usage and thoughts of information used for school and that is provided for students. He thought it was kind of funny how they were discussing this subject and a lot of the students and teachers don't even have the kind of technology of that they were discussing, that affected the usage and thoughts of information. With this statistic he the thought of America becoming a third world country came to mind, because of this little problem that some places in the United States are not up to date and are not currently up dated with technology. From this he thought that how do they know what life is like for an average person or where do they get their information and etc... It basically worried him.
I think it is very important for students and people who live kind of the middle of no where to have access to the world outside them, but I don't think that we should get all freaked out about it because it is all a work in progress. I know in my classes it might as well be required for everyone in our school to have all this new fancy technology to go to school there or else it is going to be very difficult for that person to keep up. Some of us have problems keeping up just as it is. In places like Wisconsin it is typical for them to not have all these things, so they don't require for them to do things that would seem impossible. I think we do need to get them up to date because it is not like they are not as smart to handle this kind of technology, it is just hard to get acess to it.
