wow, 20 years is a long time, well.. There's the science fiction approach where technology will be the teachers, but in reality, I think it will be used on a daily basis and will hopefully better be able to connect students who are absent from the daily classroom. (but it won't replace the teacher to student interaction)
-
Technology will be all around us, closer to us than ever before. I envision a person being able to do just about anything from any place in the world.

The responses to question # 2 are all things I think we can agree on that we don't necessarily like about technology. Based on responses in general, I think we all have a pretty positive attitude about technology and are willing to continue to work "with" technology to better ourselves professionally.
