Technology is here to stay, and only going to get bigger and better.  I was shocked when I saw the slide: 2050 = $1000 Computer = processing power of all human brains on Earth.  I think we see this already happening with Chatgpt.  I have noticed that since COVID, students have had a harder time with Problem-Solving skills.  They want instant gratification.  I also see some that have had Creativity and Communication Skills lagging behind because they only play video games at home.  They don't play with real toys or talk and play with other kids face-to-face.  Technology is a wonderful invention, but our kids today also need old-school playdates, toys, and fun!
