I am a volunteer with GRR, Greyhound Rescue and Rehabilitation, a non-profit organization dedicated to re-homing retired greyhounds. I teach library/media classes and manage the media center at a public school in the Northeast. My four adorable greyhounds and their two furry feline brothers help me select my next book to read. I am an avid reader and will review any book you would like me to read. Just send a post my way so that we can get in touch.

That really is quite scary! I can't believe how quickly things have moved on. How Facebook reached an audience of 50 million in 2 years. Everything is now so immediate in life. It used to take information so long to travel round the world and now it only takes seconds.
Mouth agape, Wisteria. Whoa!!!
wow, those are some crazy facts!
especially about preparing kids for jobs that dont even exist yet. And the India honor student thing too.
I believe it about the texting, I text several time every day myself :P I dont know how I ever lived without it. lol

It is overwhelming really to think of how far we have come so fast.
Scrap girl, Book Resort, Naida, and Literary Feline...Isn't this amazing? I teach K-5 library media skills and this video never ceases to amaze me. Our students come to school with greater technology awareness each year. We used to half to take a whole year to work with kindergarten on logging in to the network, using a mouse, moving the cursor and saving. We now have this acoomplished in about 1-2 lessons.
This is some crazy warp speed of technlogy we are seeing.
Great info! Thanks for sharing. Scary!
