Welcome to the Digital Generation

I’m currently trying to look for some awesome resources on learning Tally Marks for a Maths assignment. I came across this on YouTube and thought it was quite interesting. Although heavily based on the United States of America and out dated by a few years, it provides a little further insight to what we are all learning about now. This really is their world and to think this is five years ago is a little crazy. In the past five years we have seen:

  • A dramatic change in screen sizes
  • Increasingly better graphics
  • A major transition between personal computers to smart phones- smart phones are now capable of doing most things that a personal computer could do
  • Massive openings within communication (Skype, Viber, FaceTime etc)
  • GPS’s are included in most newly manufactured automobiles

This is just a tiny list. If we are seeing vending machines that sell power packs for recharging your smart phone on the spot (complete with credit card or pay pass options of course) as well as twenty hour DVD hire vending machines, then I can’t even imagine what will become ‘normal’ and underappreciated when our Preps of today are finishing high school.  Crazy times.
