This short video focuses on the substantial impact that time
has on values and decisions. In a future oriented society, people are consumed
by spending too much energy and focus on work or business. Leaving behind
family and social experiences, which in my opinion is the most important need of
a human being, is the main goal in a world with so much competitiveness. In a future oriented society, people must
sacrifice some of our principal needs such as family, social networking or even
sleeping in order to succeed as an individual.
The work ethic of a society does play a role in productivity
of a specific city or country, but the idea that it is impossible to remain close
to family by sacrificing sit-down dinner is a stretch. There are other ways to
be close to family and not necessarily at dinner. This does not have to mean
the failure of family values. In fact, a higher workload can increase work
ethic and personal responsibility within a family.
I do not totally agree with the assertion that the information
age has made education boring for kids that are addicted to engaging and
interactive forms of media. School children are more interactive than in previous
eras, but not specifically because of video games. Our children have been born
with special learning faculties that are more advanced. Children are able to
handle computers and video games as well as learn science and history, while maintaining
an outstanding GPA. This is more of an evolution in human development than
something to fear in education.
