This doesn’t surprise me at all, considering all the other things we can already do with mobile devices. Amazing to think about how dependent we’ve come on cell phones to provide us with so many features other than a basic phone call. Do you ever stop to think about how much you use your phone a day in terms of phone calls vs other applications? It could be an interesting study…
Ryan- Thanks for reading! You are right- it would be an interesting study. Thanks again for reading and following me. Bill
It’s incredible how far technology can go. I still remember when Dick Tracy (.. The cartoon.. 1960s …)impressed us with his 2 way video wristwatch.
Thanks Gloria…I remember Dick Tracy and how cool these things have come true….I never hurts to imagine. As teachers we have to imagine, learn, create, reflect, and share what we are learning in the classroom. Without vision, we get no where……..except headaches….
