Necessary indeed. Evil? In my opinion no, technology is not in any way shape or form evil. Evil cannot be anything, evil is only what we(people) make it. We see see all of these horrific news reports, that scare me witless, and in many instances would cease to exist if society didn’t have the technological advancements that we do today.
Nevertheless we do and I guess the world is what we make it!
Like the famous quote; “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” John Fitzgerald Kennedy , I am a firm believer in progress, change and basically moving forward, so in my opinion the technological advancements the society has actualized in this century are not only convenient, they are essential. It is simply our responsibility to “test drive” these products for future generations, it is also our responsibility to insure that all the negative aspects or possibilities that these innovative ideas create are subdued or resolved. When this task is executed, as it always is, the technology will be accepted and embraced by more and more people everyday.
In all fairness to those who feel technology is a necessary evil, or those of you who feel that it is odd to take pictures and print them yourself; we(society will) never get it exactly right; the puzzle will never quite fit. The world will never be perfect and evil will never be far, Perhaps that inevitable flaw is what drives and motivates this need that we all possess, to move forward.

Glad to see you have created your blog and made a post. Remember that the course direction was to blog regularly (twice a week would be average)...
What to write about? Look around you. How has technology changed the way you and your community link to each other and the world. How has it changed the story of how you work and learn over the past ten years.
Look at specific technologies. Observe how young people use video games. Is there learning going on? What are your thoughts?
Keep blogging!
Jeff
