I attended an Education Innovation Summit, one of the seminars was technology and education. I learned an important Moore's Law
The first digital computer 1946, took 10 people 2 weeks to run one simple task, before it crashed after 7 minutes. 200,000 dollars use to be the cost of a computer in 1978, now a personal laptop can cost 200 dollars. Again, Moore's Law predicted changed every 2 years, it will now be every 3 months.
The cycle of change keeps shortening. I think this is one reason some people are anti-technology. It can feel like you are always running to keep up, and often like you are falling behind.
