Number 6!

I visited my alma matter's website, which I hadn't actually done until nearly four years after I graduated. There was lots of general information like a calendar of current events, pages of staff information, student services, and activities and clubs offered to students. There's also information regarding the current weather conditions at the school, which I found really neat since there may be hurricanes that suddenly whip through (I'm looking' at you, Michael!) or other circumstances in which parents, guardians, or fellow students might like to check on the conditions surrounding the school. The website's chocked full of just about everything you might want to know about Pace High School. Here's a screen snag of the front page, check it out:

I envision myself having to rely largely on technology in the foreseeable future. Whether or not I go into education, more and more fields are switching over to a digital format of operation for a variety of reasons. Personally, I want to go into a field that relies on either writing, photography, or a combination of the two, which today are almost entirely digital practices if you want to keep up with the modern world. Film photography is more of a niche hobby, and writing in pen and paper is best for taking notes or for editing/personal purposes. Efficiency, accuracy, and expediency are key guidelines in the modern world 's exchanging of ideas and information; generally speaking, those with access to the highest amount of bandwidth for the exchange/cross-examinaton/assessment of ideas and information will be the most well-equipped for their jobs. Or so seems to be the attitude in the rapid technological realignment of society, and therefore I think it's probably best to adapt to change. Otherwise, if one doesn't try and be pliable with technological advances, they'll be left in the dust. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't like breathing in dust!

The technology sandbox is awesome. I am really happy I know what it is, where it is, and all I can access within it. I particularly enjoyed the oculus rift Virtual Reality tech. I found a google maps feature within it, and it was mind-blowing how the difference in perception (or lack thereof)  made it feel all the more real. What I found useful was the 3-D printers, as I had never considered the vast amount of uses for them. All sorts of small-scale models of things like bones, brains, faces, flowers, etc. can be incredibly useful in a classroom setting where getting an actual full-scale model of a brain or various bones could be vary expensive and several days or weeks to arrive. The 3-D printer is as useful as you choose to make it and can save teacher and students a lot of money on various new classroom materials.

Well, that's all for today. Until next time—take care, friends.
