I found the film to be incredibly interesting. It was amazing to see how much the computer effects our lives everyday. It only took four years for the computer to spread, while it took the television more then ten. People can keep in contact with others through the internet even when the other person is across the globe. Information available on the internet keeps multiplying every year.
Almost everyone owns a computer. Many four years olds know how to use one. The computer is an extreme part of the world and is used for just about everything. Also from this video, it appears that people's work ethic has declined in the US. Many people will have more than ten jobs in their life before age thirty eight. Does technology such as the internet cause such changes in people? Does it cause them to become more lazy? Maybe.

ALEX etc./week2
ALEX, also known as Alabama Learning Exchange is a magnificent site for teachers to visit. It explains many teaching options and study skills. Through ALEX, teachers are able to look at each subject and grade level. By doing so, they can find ways to improve their classroom and teaching methods.
For example, clicking on course of study and then mathematics, one can further choose which grade level and proceed to read certain math techniques. From this page, a teacher can receive ideas of how to explain math to a young child. Using pictures, stories, or colors are just some of the options.
Furthermore, lesson plans are also provided and helpful books are also listed. Options to select certain schools are also helpful on the ALEX site. Using this site would increase teacher awareness and understanding of the subject they teach. It contains various hints for good teaching and explains each lesson plan thoroughly.
Another good thing about ALEX is that it gives other sites to visit. One might want other opinions of lesson plans, teaching, etc. and ALEX offers that. It is a very good tool for teachers to use while in the classroom and outside of it. From this site teachers can also learn about special education and other forms of teaching.
