There were several interesting similarities between what the video portrayed future education to be and what it is. We are now able to complete group work and individual work over the internet in real time. We can pull up information from places far away as if we were there and we can send information we have collected to others over the internet. Voice recognition is another tool we have today but I don't think we use it as much as was depicted.
There were several differences also. I would love to be able to video in my at home students but we do not have access to this technology. Access would be the biggest difference. As great as technology is not all students have access to the equipment or the information. The economy has not kept up with our ideals of what the future might hold. The fact many students lack internet use at home or a computer limits the teacher in what they can utilize.
