for the future

One buzz idea that my principal discusses is the concept of preparing our students for jobs that have not been thought up yet. I believe the foundation for this idea is surrounded with the always changing field of technology, and its ability to incorporate itself in all subject areas and job areas. Just the advances in the past five years have been astounding, specifically the size of things. I remember the first time I saw a flash drive and I was shocked about its capacity. I used floppy disks through my undergraduate studies(which was not that long ago). How small can we go? How much stuff can we store? This journey with technology forces me to really consider perspective and size today, and in the future.
