Ms. Shimona wrote a new blog post: Did You Know?

Fantastic video on the progression of information technology, researched by Karl Fisch, Scott McLeod, and Jeff Brenman.
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL9Wu2kWwSY
Points to ponder after you’ve watched the video (at least once):
How does the rapid, exponential progression of information technology affect

how we learn in school?
our future career choice?
how we decide what information to gather?
our life choices?

Get your Thinking Caps on!
