Please watch this TED talk in which Juan talks about the future of the human species. It sounds very science fiction but in reality looking back 1000 years ago - the current time we live in looks like science fiction to them.
My question are: Do you think that Juan is on to something? I have only been teaching for 11 years. When I first starting teaching only a few students out of hundred had a cellular device and it was meant for talking. Eventually the phone has evolved with successive generations of phones today with is a small computer. Today we are on the door step of the Iphone6. I have seen students behaviors changed because of these devices. You class of 2015 will be know as the sixth generation today. Have you seen any change? How do you see your future changing due to science and technology? Will your children and grandchildren be a different species? Very thought provoking ideas. Please share your comments. Please elaborate your ideas. You have till Sunday night at 11:59 am August 30th to get credit.
