This Sunday the entire NY Times Magazine is devoted to education and technology. We will be looking at several of these articles, but I especially recommend that you see "Achieving Techno-Literacy" http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/19/magazine/19FOB-WWLN-Kelly-t.html.
Kevin Kelly says that "technological smartness" can be taught in school and lists 9 bullet points describing this type of literacy. What are your thoughts? Can technological smartness be taught and learned? Should it be? He further states that, "We don't need expertise with every invention; that is not only impossible, it's not very useful. Rather, we need to be literate in the complexities of technology in general, as if it were a second nature." Are you literate in this way?
