When I was growing up, my first
computer was a giant white machine. I played with it at home when I was in late
elementary school. I was always such a nerd and enjoyed making powerpoints of
what I wanted for Christmas. This was the result of me wanting to be a
businessman when I grew up. I was self-taught, but as computer interfaces
improved over the years, the use of the computer became much easier. The
interfaces that are employed with mainstream technology today has resulted in
students being much more naturally accustomed to using technology.
Students today are much more
innately talented with technology than the teachers who try to show them how to
use them. It is not a result of the inefficiencies on the part of the teacher;
it’s just that the students are raised by their parents using technology. In a
classroom setting, the students are the masters of the technology and the
teachers are the students, except in rare cases. Teachers are parents and
workers whose time is spent investing in people while students often have more
time to invest in and be consumed by non purposeful technology. Then, because
of their understanding of interfaces, students can automatically understand and
operate the interface of a technology that is used for productivity.
