10 Ways the World Has Changed Since I've Been in School* FYI... I graduated high school 15 years ago and college 10 years ago - most (if not all) of these apply to the last 10 years!
1. Technology: Internet, Email, IM, Web cams, Blogs
2. Cell phones - unlimited calling, free long distance, text messaging, Caller ID, Call waiting, 3-way calling
3. DVR, HDTV, Flat screen TVs, Laptops, Video cameras (handheld, DVD), Video games
4. iPods & online music, youtube
5. Digital cameras, online photo sharing & editing
6. Online activities: shopping, college degrees, Bill pay & banking, Mapquest, search engines (no more encyclopedias), Library searches (no card catalogs)
7. Cars: technology & gadgets (back up cameras, thermometer, digital compass, DVD players, etc)
8. Schools teach more advanced skills at younger grades, more expected of kids academically earlier on
9. Security/Safety since 9/11 - airports, amusements parks, in schools, sports complexes, concerts
10. Television - reality TV, more violence and bad language, news channels around the clock, digital cable includes On Demand and hundreds of channels
