Throughout the years, technology has evolved tremendously. Just as technology has evolved, so have our students. Students are able to blog, create Facebook accounts, work Ipods and Ipads, chat online with friends, collaborate with family and friends from various places on projects, reasearch online, create videos, etc. But are they able to have a simple conversation and express their thoughts using words instead of smiley faces and texting shorthand? Our younger generations are missing out on the fun part of socializing. They are missing out on being able to express their emotions and being able to effectively communicate their thoughts because it is no longer the focus of schools or for that matter of parents and the individuals that used to make sure that kids used their words to express themselves and resolve conflicts. So much miscommunication occurs through the use of technology media that it's a wonder an increase in violence due to miscommunication has not been drastically seen. We need to take a step back and see the bigger picture for our future generations. We need to work together to educate them not just on the uses of technology, but how to effectively communicate and work along side peers using their words to express themsleves, thier emotions, and their thoughts. They need to know that how they are feeling and what they are thinking is important, just as important as how to work the newest piece of technology.
