In the "Classroom of the Future" videos there are many predictions from that time that are now actualities. It is easy to think of the technologies from today that mirror or at least compare to the technology prototypes used in the videos. I am impressed with the ability of the video makers to accurately hypothesize the directions in which learning would expand and grow.
One example of a prediction that was accurate is in the second video which shows technology that responds to voice commands. This is something that has become ever prevalent in our society as it is a must have feature on all phones and hand-held devices. In one of my recent classes, a professor encouraged students to utilize the voice command technology known as Siri during class to help provide quick information about various topics of discussion.
Another accuracy is in the first video in which it is shown that the injured student is able to do his work from home. For convenience, many technologies and software advancements have been made to allow people to do things from home for a variety of reasons. This is expressed through the prominence of online classes in today's education system, giving students the opportunity to choose to be present or not.
