This article discusses the positive influence the technology revolution, specifically the web camera has had on education. Web cameras have brought a whole new aspect or realm into the "classroom" by simply being able to connect to a computer source and view something completely removed from the present environment. Physically being able to see an event unfold or occur in "real" time as opposed to reading about the event, allows for a whole new learning experience, one that this article suggests expands the learning experience on the whole.

i think that having webcams for and being able to watch events is a great tool for students. in addition, i think that with the use of the XO laptop, it would be interesting to have students use their webcams as a "pen pal" device. students from the us can become very close with students from other countries and they can learn about all different types of cultures and environments. the webcam will allow them to form close relationships and have a great understanding for one another.
good, we could bring in the concept of 'digital divide' here, and try to see to what extent the initiative of this technology could be fulfilled in less developed countires
