Watching "A Day Made of Glass" was eye opening. Sometimes when I see glimpses of new ideas or hear bits about what the future holds in regard to technology, it can be overwhelming and even a little bit scary. While I at times still find myself in these situations wondering, worrying, or questioning, I have been trying to channel some of that energy into a more positive vision thinking about the advances and benefits to this rate of growth and development.
This video absolutely helped me view our technological advances more positively. In the first scene the young girl wakes up to her alarm clock, and I thought about how neat that would be to see first thing - everything I wanted right there - time, weather, notes about the day, etc. The windows and light entering the room is also something I would enjoy, as I like it black when I am sleeping but love the bright light in the morning. I would love to know more about the closet capabilities with outfits and matching items. The classroom technology use and the use at the hospital/doctor was unbelievable. When the video showed the patient receiving a brain scan and how quickly and easily technology appeared to show the makeup of his brain was when I really realized what advances we could make in so many areas thanks to the technology we have and are going to have in the near future. As a Jurassic Park fan, my favorite part might have been the scene in the park with the dinosaur. I thought about student engagement and future field trips and learning possibilities.
I became so interested in this video and had so many questions, so I actually followed up and watched the video which describes and explains each part - what is  possible now and what is not possible yet. I hope to continue feeling inquisitive and excited about our technological advances.
