Students today take technology for granted because they are born in a generation that has technology at their fingertips 24 hours a day. In the 1950’s and 1960’s computers in the classroom was unheard of. In 1977 Personal Computers; the first microcomputer, the Apple, was created by Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs. In the 1980’s (CAI) Computer-assisted instruction on personal computers reached its peak of popularity. Technology took another leap in 1991-through the World Wide Web- The Internet became accessible to all with the creation of the Web by Tim Berners-Lee; Again in 2003 Technology leaped and brought about the Mobile Devices; Cell phones, hybrids, PDAs, and tablet PCs joined with wireless networking to make mobile computing commonplace everywhere, including in the classroom; Technology is still growing in 2008 and beyond; Online life and the Grid. The Grid uses distributed computing Technology. The Grid will make it possible to dynamically pool and share computer resources, making unprecedented computing power available to everyone on the Grid. Duffy, J,. & McDonald, J (2007).
