The Apple of Eden

                Technology has stolen our attention and time whether or not we like to admit it. For my capstone project I adressed if technology was enough to make JSU a 21st century learning evironment? And to my surprise this was actually a hard topic to create a project on. But nevertheless I took a different spin on how to answer the question. I used Apple to help prove my point.

                First I want you to think about what kind of technologies we have in today's world: computers, smartphones, tablets, projectors, and Ipods & Iphones. Most of these inventions came from the creations of Steve Jobs creator of Apple. Jobs always had a fun time making and presenting new technologies to the public. In the WWDC of 2010 and 2011 Jobs' final two had a joy that only could be made from beauty and possibility.


               Second, I want to talk about how Jobs' ran Apple and how this relates to my topic. Jobs had a completely different style of running his business. He encouraged his employees to have fun at work and create inventions. He encouraged them to make stuff only thought in their imaginations. Also he had the company buildings set up so people that work in completely different fields would and could communicate. So how does this relate to JSU or us? I feel like if we viewed college the same way we could get so much more out of it. Make bold decisions and take chances just have fun! Be involved with different groups and help out your counttry.

                So is technology enough? Yes, but for JSU to be a 21st centurty learning environment we as students and teachers alike have to be the change. We have to be engaging and trying to make the best out of our time and lives. We chose to come to college so get involved. Technology is a great thing to have and use but personal relationships are the greatest things we as humans can have.
