High Tech High is named High Tech High for a reason. The founding fathers wanted us to employ technology in our learning adventures. In our everyday lives, is technology employing us?

Michael Pollan, in his book The Botany of Desire, poses the question: We have developed crops like corn and potatoes well beyond their original potential. Now that corn has grown out of its grubby, near-death shrub-like form it started out as, and potatoes have undergone a similar journey, we must ask ourselves: who has used whom?

It almost seems like technology is evolving, very quickly, through us. Heck, if at the beginning of our evolution, if we had wanted to evolve more quickly, we couldn't have done better than to have someone else use us.
