Week 6

This week I particularly liked the article my small group read to present to the class. It really made sense and made me realize the reason for my old school feeling I talked about last week. We need to assimilate things in our minds and feelings before we can fully accommodate them. Without first assimilating it is vary hard to get a true feel for something. Especially since things are not usually developed simply to do something never done before. They are instead usually completed to allow for the easier use or completion of something already possible. Once we know how something else helps us complete a task we can than use a new technology to do its own thing.

  1. I totally agree with your thoughts on assimilation before accommodation. I think we discussed this in your last weeks post but we both said it was hard to let a new technology into our lives when we our set in our ways. I think your article really helps me understand why when I don't initially get a technology I want to disregard it. I haven't assimilated and so I won't accommodate that new technology.
