Is Technology a Problem?

I think that technology has its ups and downs. I think that technology does have its promises with helping us to adapt to "real world" situations and to understand it for future work experience, but on the other hand I think that some aspects of technology should not be looked upon for learning and educating. For example, the making of a youtube video would not be an item that I would choose to educate my students. Many people have their own points of view about certain things that would be beneficial and that wouldnt. Having some common knowledge of the internet is just something to have, but I think that important technological items to use for learning would be word processing, clip art, power point, spreadsheet, etc.
