540- Week 4- What Does the Future Hold?

This week I was introduced to the work of Bill Tancer, whose business is online market research. I enjoyed listening to his fascination with data. His ability to question, challenge, find and interpret trends has proven to be most helpful to many online businesses.
Even more interesting than Bill Tancer was the Futurist Discussion. Upon first glance, I thought coming up with a new age career field would be easy. As I talked with my group, my creativity was greatly challenged. Every idea I came up with had already been thought of. The internet is amazing! Thinking about the hidden potential of the Internet is mind-boggling. In regards to education, these endless possibilities make instructional technology even more important. The better we equip our children with the tools available on the internet now, the more competitive they will be in the future of online resources.
