The Future...
The Good
- students will no longer attend public schools, they will participate in pod casts
- books will be available on iPods and digitally uploaded to the internet
- personalized writing instruction will be prolific
- student choice will exponentially increase
The Bad
- human to human interaction will decline tremendously
- students will live in isolation from others
- individualized blogs will narrow the scope of experience and knowledge
- homogenizing perspectives will lead to a decline in democracy and increase a sort of virtual tribalism
- corporate corruption and control will increase dramatically
- proliferation of monopolies
The future, much like the present, provides positive and negative outlooks. However, the potential for virtual monopolies on knowledge, information and freedom is simply apocalyptic.
