It's so funny how far we've come. I thought this video was pretty funny. It is very true to think that this is quite possibly how people may have felt when the book was first introduced. Or, let's think about when pens were developed. Something's that are part of our every day lives. Wasn't always that way. That "Help Desk" wasn't always available. The extraordinary has become the ordinary.
Yes, teaching an old dog new tricks isn't easy. Let's just think of what things would be like if we weren't able to deal with the changing of the times. We're teaching our students to work and live in times with things that we don't even know about. Just think about what we'll be calling the "Help Desk" for then. :)

My favorite part of the video is when the guy says it is just easier to use a scroll. I think it's important to remember how intimidated, frustrated, and reluctant some people can be with new technology, and if they are educators, we should help their transition because it ultimately benefits our students.
