“Technology as human evolution”

Technology to me, represents human evolution. Like the butterfly who evolved to possess patches upon their wings that resembled the markings of an owl, or like the evolution of language and the proliferation of English, humans have evolved to survive and thrive upon technological advancements. Not only has the language we use been altered, but overall communication has changed. Humans now are globally connected through the internet. Yet I wonder how this has affected the current generations entering into our educational system; a system, mind you, that is far over due for a make over in order to accommodate for the techno. savvy youth filtering their systems. So now what do we do as educators? Do we ‘spice up’ the lessons? And how is that even possible with the increasingly useless education standards set by a government that has lost base with the needs of middle and lower-class? Is this an individual educator’s problem? Or a social one? And how much should the government be involved in our education?
