Kurzweil’s presentation’s main focus is about the accelerating rate and power that technology has over past, present, and future years to come. As a future educator it was fascinating to note the tremendous expansion and growth that information technology has achieved over the years and how powerful it has become. Information technology predicts the future, so as educators we not only need to educate ourselves on technology, but we need to assure that we are incorporating proper technology and media literacy tools and skills within our curriculum to ensure that our students not only understand but are confident using technology. Progress in technology is exponential, so if we guarantee that we are teaching our students how to independently learn how to use new technology then they are sure to succeed for future years to come.
