I don't use technology for recreational purposes very often. In my high school we didn't have much to work with as our one computer lab was not hooked to the Internet and the computers were dated even then. My family is poor and we didn't have a computer or any video game systems. so i didn't grow up very technically inclined. In college i have used computers for all my classes and has become integral to my education. i have no predigest against technology and can use it competently. The technology that is available to the students in the school i teach will be used in order to enhance the students learning experience. I will not expect my student to have prior experience or easy access to any technology outside of class.
I have seen in college how helpful technology can be in a science classroom and can see the need for all students to have experience with computers and other technology for there future careers. Weather or not my students go on to a higher education or not i think that better understanding of technology will help students become better informed voters. Any tools that can help a student understand the content in class should be used to the upmost. Technology is a bigger and bigger part of everyday life so its use should begin early and often in the class room.
