  2. Its shows how fast technology is changing and that if we don't know how to use it,then we won't know how useful it is and how much it can help us with our daily lives.

  3. I like how it shows how much technology has changed. I think it is right because if we don't know anything about technology now, it won't help us at all in the future.

  7. I think showing the history of technology is very cool. I liked the pictures he used. It shows the old technology that was used. I enjoyed the video. Mr. Smith did a good job. He put a lot of thought and effort into this video. Noah

  11. I thought the movie was well made. I think the video is correct, because if they don't help us we could get in big trouble...If you don't know how to use some site on the Internet right you may end up where you didn't want to be. Some places or things you may accidentally do can get you in trouble with the law. Which won't be good for you or your parents. I think this video could impact us by having people like our parents maybe help us learn about the thing on the Internet so we don't do things wrong I guess. But, that's just what I think.

  12. it showed that technology is changing very day and can affect us if we aren't taugh...and also that important that we learn for the furture and things like that. i didn't know that so back than there was a computor that big.thats was a pretty cool video mr. smith .im actually surprised of all the technolgy there is...i think people should already know about all the technology...

  13. that shows how technology works and it shows how technology changes and it showed how they looked

  14. I think it shows how technology has changed from back then to now and that it is still changing. Also that we need to keep it going because if we don't, there could be a time where there is no technology and the kids of these days' kids could end up not knowing what technology is or means.

  15. It taught me that technology is changing every day and if it doesnt then we will be left behind. It was an educational video about the past, present, and future. It will help make better designs and technology. It was a cool video.

  16. i really liked this video,because the music was funn~but also because it is very infrormational about our developing world.Based on my terms the video is correct,because if they don't give us the tools now,we'll get ahold of them,and might get in trouble in the future.This helps our educational values by showing how we can use these tools for educational things.

  17. i think that the video was well made. I thought that it gave some information out to people. i thought the was corect on its bases. i think it will help me know some what more about the computer and know whats going onand how fast things change.

  18. I think that it was good and true. I think that this should effect our learnig because I havn't really thought about this until i watched this video. Adults, parents, and teachers need to show us and keep us up to date on what is going on.

  19. The video was correct that we should teach kids technology, because if we don’t they wont learn how to use a computer or anything like that. My reaction was surprised to see how many stuff we invented from the light bulb to a computer. This video should impact are our education by giving us the knowledge to these wonderful inventions. Who knows what inventions will come next. There could be an invention today or in 3 years. People all over the world have different ideas. The people never stop thinking.

  20. It told how they use to make things and how they can get better. But.... i wanted to know why did'nt they put like the flip phone first and where was the game systems??? It was a good video and by my teacher finding this and how kids find things it very cool!!!! I think that we need to get learn how to do all of this because I have people in this class ask how do you do that?? How do u this?? And Mr. Smith says it over and over so people open your eyes and ears!

  21. it shows how tech has improved over the years and why we need to teach kids how to use tech. i think we need to make computer classes a core class.

  24. Shows how technology has changed overtime and what a difference its made.

  25. IT TELLS US ON how technology has changed over the years

    ReplyDelete
  26. I think it's a good idea to teach technology in school, because with technology advancing so rapidly, it'll be hard for us students to keep up. Espesially if none of us are all that "tech savy".

    ReplyDelete
  27. In this video it shows how technology is changeing and if we dont try to keep up we wont understand much. Thats the truth to. Over all this is cool video.

  29. I liked the video. I agree with the idea that we have to stay current on new technology. It should give hope to create new ideas and try to learn more thru technology.

  30. My reaction is that it was very good and we have better technology then we did back then.
    This video is correct.
    This impacts our education by giving us better and faster things!!(:

  31. It was interesting to watch to see how technology changed over the years. I think it was correct because of all the facts... about technology. This video is impacts your education because it shows how you need to get involoved in technology, and all the different changes over the years.

  32. I think that each day technology is improving and we are inproving on learning with it if us "students" can keep up we can use technology like its easiest thing ever.

  33. I like it but some parts of it I didn't like.
    I think it is correct.
    This imapcts our lives by giving us better and faster education.

  34. The video shows you how fast technologys is changing and what the difference is between technology then and technology now.

  35. In my point of view it was a very good example for us as kids to see this video because, it showed how technology is changing at an amazing speed. This clip was a correct example that i need to pay attention to people when they tell us things about todays technology.:)

  36. I like the pictures in the video and feel like real effort was put into making it. I agree with the video and what it is saying about learning new technology. It is very important for me to pay attention to the new ways of doing things and using new technology. My education depends on me learning new technology.

  37. I thought that this video was made slightly improper, as there was incorrect spelling in a few spots. Other than the exceptional errors, i think this video was precise to its topic with teaching us about the technology we have today. Without the advanced thinking that scientists had back then, we wouldn't be able to post comments like this right now.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I do think the video is correct becouse with technology changing all the time it gets harder to learn about the internet and what it can do to help us in life. I really liked the way it showed all the the ways we used the internet to commuicate with others.

    ReplyDelete
  39. this video was cool and helped let people know how much we need technology in are lifes. If we didnt have tchnology in the world we wouldnt be anything.

  40. I think the video showed how technology was like in the past and how it is like now.

  41. I liked the video. I think the video was correct because it shows how technology has changed throughout the years.

  42. I think this video could go either way. It's definitly opinionated but in my opinion I feel it's correct. Technology is changing rapidly and people depend on it everyday. It's important to the time period now days but a hundred years ago people could live without it.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I think that the video is kind of in the middle. I agree that we should stay educated in order to keep up with all the new technology, but sometimes it's growing so rapidly that it's hard to keep up with it!

    ReplyDelete
  44. That video makes me wonder how having school at home would be different. Also i really liked how they tie new technolgy. The last thing is schhol would be better the way it is cause you get hands on help if you don't understand something and you get to meet some great people

    ReplyDelete
  45. I think the video was filled with information, but I noticed frequent spelling errors and incorrect usage. I think it is biased, because it talka about youth wanting new thechnology, leading me to believ that it is made by a younger person who likes technology. Without the technology in the video, our education wouldn't be the same, current technology supports and assists in our daily life and education. ;D <3

  46. I think this video showed how technology was like back then, and how it is changing and improving now. Technology back then was not the greatest. They are proving technology beter and better every year. An example is ipods. They had ipod nano's and now they have ipod touches! I am soo suprised to see what the technology will be like when I get older. This impacts on our lives because it change education for children as well as adolescents and adults. This video was very appropiate and correct.. we need to be shown and taught how to use the new techonolgy. :) I think it would be cool to make an avatar and stay home and do school that way! That could be in the future!

  47. The future is in kids hands now.I thing that the vidoe is correct because technoligy is being created faster and faster.People should just keep creating because it's the way we live.I thing that online school is right but, it should only be for high school and just to keep computers ok.

  48. I thought of this video as a new idea of life, there was some of new and old on it. After all of it inspired me to update my family members about new technology.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Its correct because its telling us how advanced technology is becoming. It got me thinking of how my future might turn out.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I think that this video clip is very true because as every sec every min every hr every day goes by technology is changing and the world can not keep up with the way things change. This video shows that we should try different ways of technology, and the past present and I am sure you can come up with a technology for the future. Technology is such a big part of our lives, and many kids and even most adults don't know about many oppertunites of technology.I would say that there should be more classes on computers we can inform more people and get them to see what they could be learning and using to make daily tasks easier.

  51. The world then thought of nothing compaired to the technology now. The technology now is growing and growing into a new life and another world.

  52. I think this video is correct, because if the schools went back to just textbooks and pencils, lots of poeple would get tired of school, and skip more. Kids would probably do more homework if they could do it online. If all of our classes were on the computer and online, it could be a lot more fun than useing a book and paper, and if we use the internet, we dont have to bring paper and pencils, so we wont waste classtime looking around for a pencil. This video well describes how we could be useing a very good kind of technology instead of what we are now.

  53. I think the video is really true because if we don't keep up with technoligy we will be stuck in this world and won't no how to do anything so this video showed me very good imformation.

    ReplyDelete
  54. i think that is video is telling us that the world is changing and so is technology is changing and if we dont get invovled we will get left behind

    ReplyDelete
  55. I think that this video is a cool way of showing how technology effects our everyday lives. If you don't understand it, you will be left behind. Technology is a huge impact on the world. We can all recieve an email, text message, or comments on Facebook within seconds. This video shows how we need to be taught how to use it, because it's how our world can come together as one.

  56. My reaction too thiss video was technology got better as the years past.
    andd hopefully it keeps getting better:)

  57. I think the video shows how fast advancements are being made and if adults don't take the time to teach kids how to use the internet, phones, or any technology safley, they could get in trouble or use it wrong and get hurt.In my oppinoin the video is correct and schools must provide classes to learn about this new technology to make learning and communicating easier.

  58. In my opinion, this video showed us how fast the technology has changed in the past and how it is still changing. It was a very good video in the case of teaching us how fast it can change.

  59. I think its correct because in 10 years when were getting our jobs work will probably be on computers and not paper so i think its important we learn now or we might not have jobs in the future

  60. I believe that what the video was saying is that today someone has and idea that becomes tomorows technology. I really didn't think it was biased beacause to me thats the truth! The world is changing and we need to keep up with it.

  70. I think that video is correct that if we dont adapt to the new things goin on around us we will be left behind. Also I don not believe that they are being biased and kids are going to have to learn about computers of else they wont get a good education and good job/income.

  73. I think this video is correct in showing that technology does move quickly and changes us and the world around us. Our education and way of learning is affecting by new innovations, by getting rid of books and using more electronics and computers. My reaction to this is I believe that this new technology can be good for or learning and can help open a larger education to students.

  75. I think this video tells teachers, educators, and parents that they need to teach the next generation kids about the technological advancments that they will need to face in the future. It gives information on this subject in a different point of view than other people are used to seeing. In my opinion this video is very true because it warns people what will happen if the kids don't learn about this new technology. It could very possibly affect our futures more than some people think.
