Journal 16

It may be difficult to keep in touch with them and exchange information but I think that it is possible thanks to today's technology. We can use Facebook, twitter, even ancient email to communicate so that we can exchange information with the other kids in our group. We will have to rely on technology for our project and if it fails then we are screwed.I think that as technology evolves then it will become easier to talk to people over great distances. It is not necessarily difficult now but I think that some of the kinks will get worked out and the lag will not be as great. This journal is late and by now we have finished the project and communication was our biggest issue. The four people from plains would email and facebook the other people from farmersville and we could not get a response from any of them and that was very disappointing because they did not have a part in our project and it became a plains project instead of a co-op project. I would have liked to talk to the other kids and I am sad that we were not able to get a hold of them because I bet they could have contributed greatly to our project. I would have liked to get to know a kid from another school because I think that this technology will be huge later in my life. There are not that many more meetings in person where you have to fly somewhere. Most of them happen now over a video chat room or something similar to that. I think that I am very good with technology but everyone can always get better because technology is always changing and so our knowledge of it needs to also. Hopefully I will have another opportunity to work with people from another school because I liked the idea and really was looking forward to what the product of our project would look like and what grade it would receive. I think it would have been difficult but fun also.
