This is a live blog, I’m listening to three classmates interview James Vumbaco.  We are posting follow up questions to a main computer in the center where one girl is refreshing a page to ask those questions.

 ”Pick a way to go, and go for it.”

He believes the future is in technology and that college is important, but if you want to just go straight off to technical school, that is perfectly okay.

“We learn a lot outside of text books and that content learning is important and it builds structure, but as you go forward you need to pick or choose a way to go and learn the world outside of textbooks.”

Mr. Vumbaco thinks technology definately helps with routine things but it can also take away from learning experiences.  We are a lot more educated then we have been in the past but we aren’t as agressive as we need to be as far as our learning is concerned.  He believes we take too much for granted.

James Vumbaco says that we need to learn how to communicate verbally and stop depending on e-mail.  If you send four people the same e-mail they can all interpret it differently.  They can’t understand expressions and emotion through technology such as e-mail or intstant messaging.
