In What If by Karl Fisch, he is saying that he is all for education and technology but he is afraid that disallowing the use of some technology in the classroom is going to hinder the progress of the use of technology in the classroom. This matters to me because I am not allowed to use my phone in clas,bbut I shouldn't be using it anyway, so I think we could be able to use it when a teacher tells us we can. This matters to education because if we do start allowing the use of phones and iPods in class, then students will start failing and being more and more unsuccessful in class and not getting the required information for graduating or worse yet getting a career. This matters to the world because if more and more schools start allowing handheld mobile technology in the classroom, than less and less people will be successful with their lives, and we as a race won't progress nearly as fast. Phones aren't bad, but we can't use them in classrooms if we are going to just be distracted from learning.
