Whats on my mind this week...

As I was writing my paper over "A Whole New Mind" I realized that I need to start engaging more to my surroundings. Because we have entered a new age it is important to change with the age. I need to focus on the essential senses so i can move forward. As for the educational aspect. We need to advance our educational system, so instead of Asia leading, the United States can be top in technological and economical advances. Also i need to start thinking and acting in a high concept and high touch fashion. I feel like each person some how already has these ideals but we need to be able to foster them.


I was talking to my friend about the MAT program and I am getting really excited. I hope that when I apply next December I will get in. It sounds like a great program and I am really excited to be part of it. All I hear is great things. The best part about it is I will finish in five years with a masters in education and a teaching certificate. Thought I mention that. :-)

My spring break was great. It was just what I needed before this busy month and a half. Over break I traveled a lot so I was not home much. However I was really able to relax which is exactly what I wanted to do.

No matter where I went technology surrounded me. Going to the airport is just an example. I had no problems going through and catching my flights. When I went to check in it took seconds. Everything seem so fast and efficient. I took an airline called "Jet Blue," now technology had made it so you no longer have tickets since it is already in the computer system. All I received was a tiny receipt telling me my seat number. I found this incredible!

Oh and I still can believe that over the years they are able to make machines that can look through luggage to identify objects for safety reasons. If technology is keeping me safe I think more time should be spent making it even better.

Technology is consistently moving us forward. Technology is consistently changing how we do things. Back ten years ago if I went on an airplane my experience was very different compared to the one I just experience. It also was a lot longer process!
