technology all around us

If you think about it technology is all around us! Ever since we were little its been there. Generation to generation and still improving today . It's crazy! For example  a regular wooden pencil to a mechanical pencil.
I remember in high school my teacher Mr. Coute told our class our kids will not have to carry backpacks and they will have ipads and that's it. And most likely the schools will provide them to the kids. Last year I actually found out that kindergartens and preschools are already now using ipads.
Now, I think of issues. Will they break? what if something goes wrong.

This site, Educantion.com, is much objective. The site goes through different sides of arguing, if computer usage is affective on children. I have successfully learned a couple of new ideas on this site. The goal of Education.com is to help parents with kids.
