The Bigger Picture of Technology

For Luis an 18 year old senior from Oregon, in the Video Digital Youth Portrait: Luis, technology is seen to be much more than a way to connect with friends. Being the son of immigrants Luis uses technology to help his parents who do not speak English pay bills. This video is very powerful because it shows the potential students with no back ground in technology have if given the resources. Luis is a great example of younger generations who look at the bigger picture and see how technology can be used to help others. This is something that I feel is very often portrayed for our generation and especially being a future teacher needs to be proven that the "kids these days" are thoughtful individuals.
