First of all, let me tell you english is not my mother tongue...but I manage.
Second, I'm a bit shy so this is an example of bravery.
And third the topic, which is the most important.
Just my experience on IT.
During the last 15 years IT have changed our lives, not only personal ones (internet, on-line bank, on-line shopping, on-line travell organization and on-line communication, for instance e-conferences, blogging, social networks...tv, radio, podcasts and cinema) but also professional (palms, e-phones, iPC, wikis, forums...).
Education has changed as well, from blackboard to power point presentations with animations and web links.., on-line books, on-line exercises, on-line seminars, on-line activities, on-line communication with teachers and between alumni).
Also sources of information have changed ( e-newspapers, e-books, e-libraries).
We don't check a book but wikipedia at schools or at home (most of people I mean) and we can use databases from around the world without any problem.
We have access to a lot of information and leisure tools so being critical with what we receive or choose becomes critical for our development. And also we need to use i-tools with moderation as they can provoque adicction.
That's my opinion.
