What is Michael Wesch's argument?
Michael Wesch's video argues that technology has more of an impact on youth than traditional forms of learning. Students wrote using pen and paper to provide statistics about their education, their time, their priorities. Every few points were written on a laptop, a detail that caught my attention. Wesch argues that society is beginning to change, but he recognizes it will take time. The fact that not every student was using a laptop in class to make their statements represents this fact perfectly. I found the video to be a unique and creative way to make the viewer think. I thought about my education, my priorities, my time. The video noted that the information is on the blackboard, and is always at the front of the classroom. Even as technology progresses, teachers will always hold the information students need. The way we receive the information is what will continue to change over time.
