It's important that we avoid having technology frame our future. Technology engages us, it can be fun, as the enthusiasm of these children illustrates. But we must think about the core, the essence of what we do. Then we can shape how the technology can support and reinforce our endeavors. Tomorrow's panels, we hope, will explore the shaping of future issues and activities in the areas of law, academe, business and the media.
Children are still children, and education is still about the nurture and growth of understanding.
While many of us are excited by the technological possibilities, this is not only about technology. It is also about reaching back to the truths of the past and stretching forward into the future. You see, it's not just about technology. It's about who we are and what we do and what we can become.
