Just settling in to my home and arranging the decor a little!!

Have had a wonderful time finding interesting quotations about technology and some great links to photos on Flikr!  I got to pondering the history of communication systems and found the 'futuristic' portrayal/fantasy (circa 1930) of how we might be talking to each other in the future!  VERY interesting, because it really is not far from the truth, bizarre as it may have seemed in its time!

Similarly, the fantastic representations of tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Skype and YouTube as seen from a retrospective viewpoint, are food for thought indeed!  How our e learning tools and technology would have been regarded in the 1950's (or even beyond) is fascinating when seen in the context of that era!

I remember how 'high tech' machines such as word processors (oo-er!!), Telex machines, fax and eventually the PC appeared to be sophisticated and the ultimate in labour saving (!!!) and technological advancement when they first appeared to change our lives and streamline communications!!  Compared with what we are using in our daily lives and in our teaching and learning contexts, they now seem quite outmoded and almost museum pieces!

I haven't written a lot about my curving learn tonight, as I have been so busy working on the visual decor of this 'room' - but a picture paints a thousand words (particularly for me, a highly visual learner!!) and the pics/links and quotes say a lot more than any bit of prose could!

Sweet dreams - off for me cocoa and midnight biccies :-)
