Review of high tech heretic
I read this book only because it was an assignment for a computer class. The author does bring up a lot of good points about how far computers have come. I do not feel that computers will take over the classroom. They do offer a lot of help for students as well as teachers. They will never be able to offer personalized assistance like a regular classroom teacher will. I would recommend this book to anyone who is highly into computers. I myself am not and did not find the book all that interesting.

High Tech
High Tech Heretic was a book that I thought I would never see written. Stoll talks about how computers are so over used, and depended upon in todays. Computers make things much more complicated than they need to be. Computers can teach us many things but it is my opinion that one on one or the class room setting will never be replaced. However I don't totally agree with everything in the book. I do think computers have a place in the class room but only at a limited use for the students.

the new computer world
I feel this book was good in some ways and bad in others. The computer has come a long way in the world of technology. However the computer will not take over the classroom. A computer can not give a child the attention they need. There has to be a teacher around to interact with a child. This book is good in that it shows the computer has come a long way. Only good this book would for it if a teacher turned it into a writig assignment. It was interesting reading the book
