Critical Thinking in an Online World

Since the age of the new technology era librarians have decreased. Its hard to say it but this is the world now and from here on out. Technology, computers, gadgets, and they are the world of today and there is no stopping it. Why is that we are only focusing on librarians? There are so many other jobs that are being taken away from technology as well, not just librarians. Yes for schools kids should be able to learn about technology and books at the same time because what if the whole system crashes and we are left with nothing. If no one knows how to work anything manually then wont we really be in bad shape. But today kids are able to access more than a billion sites world wide for all the answers they could ever need. For reports, is it not better to have the primary source and have a million different options than to have only a couple from a book. We are able to search all over the world for anything, but in our librarians that source is cut down to the bare minimum. We should try to advance our own librarian so that it can compete with the Internet of today. Give the kids the chance to see books and be able to touch the pages of historical books instead of just reading them on line.
The technology that is being created today has helped teachers in the classroom with many different lessons and help expand the learning capability, but is that working against us? With the way things are going now, its very possible that teachers will be decreasing as well. With on line classes for colleges and complete schools on line as well, its the start of a new era. Its here to help us in anyway that we need it to and we should take advantage of it while we still have it. There could very much come a time where there is nothing manual at all and everything because robotic. Cars are already able to start without keys, play music and tell you where to go all without even touching a single button. How long will it take before our doors open automatically, we create virtual worlds with a simple chip implantation. We also have the luxury of shopping on line for everything from the grocery store right down the block to a high tech laser from Hong Kong. Americans are getting lazier and lazier. By the new generations come around we wont have to leave the house for anything. We will be able to project scenes of what ever it is that we want onto the walls of our houses. With the way Bill Gates is going, we will have that in the next 10 years anyways. Banning technology from schools and libraries isn't necessary, we aren't protecting our kids from anything that isn't going to happen anyways. Every home already has a computer and the majority have Internet access to match.
