My World

One of the perks of being a teacher. . .

. . . is that it's your job to read adolescent literature. Here's a quick read worthy of your time.

So what would you suppose the natural progression of technology might bring us in the future? Feed by M.T. Anderson is set in a world where the internet isn't just all around us. It is literally in our heads. One thing I love about this book is the way Anderson uses language to help the reader understand that having ubiquitous access to information does not necessarily make schools more effective, people more intelligent or society more advanced.

Hmmm . . . Sound familiar?
