The evolution of technology has progressed as needed by society, and even within the classroom for the teachers and students. It has progressed quite quickly especially within the past few decades. We have always had a need for technology, but it has become ever so important within our generation in particular. From the invention of the first desktop computer to the hand held iPad, from encyclopedia Britannica to Wikipedia, technology has evolved for the need of the user. As we see a need for something, someone sparks an idea and invents/creates a device to fulfill the need. It is that simple. Because we use technology in our everyday professional, adult lives, there is a NEED for technology within the classroom. What good is a college graduate if they cannot operate the technology that is used for their future career? Not only this, but these individuals have to have the knowledge and skills to think critically and solve any problem that might occur with said technology. I am anxious and excited about what is to come in the near and distant future in regards to technology in society and the classroom. What will they think of next?!
