Most people tend to think that all of the effects of the new technology are posative steps in the learning process but there are those who consider another view. Postman goes so far as to say that technology and computers potentially create road blocks in the learning process. Postman covers and interesting topic that has not gotten enough attention in the public eye, but I was hoping he would have a more convincing argument to back up his fears and accusations.
Technology can hinder progress and eduation sometimes rather than help it along.
The technological world sometimes limits people's options and people even invent problems to justify new uses of technology. It is almost impossible in this day and age to purchase anything without fancy computer-oriented buttons and controls. Everything is embelished with extras to pamper mankind. As Postman pointed out, it's hard to get a simple car without electric windows or cruise control. This pampering one gets from progress that technology makes only spoils the human race.
