Where are we sending our children?

In the last 5 years that I have interacted with children in an educational
setting I have seen a huge and fast growth in the use of technology,
especially with computers.  Also over those years I have seen the
technology go from simple programs into more difficult programs.  It has
been interesting to watch and will be interesting to see where it goes.
My question that I have as an educator is with this technology advacement
what will teaching look like in the future?  I am also deeply concered
about the amount of knowldge we are pushing children to learn.  I realize
that there is no way we can go back to the basics and I also have no
desire to go back to the basics, but along with learning technology usage
we are still requiring them to learn the information that we learned as
children.  I wonder if there is some of this information that can be
dropped, information they don't need to know as deeply as we require them
to know.
