How will technology advancements change the way we learn in the future?
I call it C.T.S.
Computers
Technology
Science
As individual fields, which is why I put them in that sequence
SHORT ANSWER:
1..Technology + Science = Computers (Better ones)
2. Technology + Computers = Science (Improved)
3. Computers + Science = Technology (Improved)
The first one is a rule that can't be broken now. The second two, are often true but not always.
Not clear yet is it? see the detailed answer.
DETAILED ANSWER
Sixty years ago when computers were still in early development, technology was very limited, and science was still very imature. The early computers were designed and built with simply electrical switches and vacume tubes. If one had the knowledge, you could have built a working one in your garage from spare car and radio parts.
Today, no computer can be designed without the more advanced sciences and technologies that have been developed. That is they the first part of C.T.S (outlined in short ansswer) is now more of a law. But what about the other two?
Two hundred years ago, technology was finding a better way to build a wagon wheel. It took almost no science other than general knowledge of materials and tools.
At the same time, Science was the foundrymen and blacksmiths studying the techniques so they could make better materials and tools. It's not quite that simple, but the point is, it was much more simple in that time period.
Today, it is increasingly unlikely that technology will be improved without the use of more advanced science, and the use of computers. It still happens. Someone invents a new skateboard in their garage without using computers or anything but off the shelf technology, but it is less and less common.
Science has the same trend. There are new scientific discoveries all the time, but most of the simple ones have been discovered and so the use of technologies and of computers (materials and tools) are required to make significant advances.
Following this trend, in the next 30 to 50 years, all three of the short answer will be law. You will not be able to advance Science without the other two, and you will not be able to advance technology without the other two.
How does this affect learning? To use these, each person will have to be educated substantially in all three areas. Those that are not educated in those areas are destined to be poor, and those with the knowledge are likelye to be wealthy. This follows the general belief that the middle class will cease to exist. because of this, C.T.S. will be used in a more advanced way for those that can afford it.
In the near future knowledge will be Downloaded from school networks to individual PDAs without having to be organized by the students. This will be a great time saver. The computers and technology will allow easier ways of training, and learning, and be able to sort and show trends on the methods. It will be quick enough that specialization training can begin at an earlier age.
In the far future, say 100 years, the advancement of augmentation (chips plugged directly in the brain). people will be able to download knowledge directly into their brain just like NEO in %26quot;The Matrix%26quot;. I imagine the knowledge will not always be kept, but downloaded as its required.
I hope this helped.
How will technology advancements change the way we learn in the future?
You can argue both sides, we could possibly just have chips in our brains to store information in the future
We already see more fast and interactive, space saving things though, take the amazon kindle for example, its small and compact and is like an ipod for books
