I found a interesting post on the "Just be at the Thinking Stick" blog and it talked about using google to find out the answers of the questions on the TV show "Are you smarter than a 5th Grader. I liked it enough to tell Jeff Utech what I thought about his idea. This is what I wrote.

This is an interesting post. I am familiar with that show and watching people try to answer 5th grade questions is intreeging. I have never thought about using technoligy to answer those questions and I might try it next time I turn to that show. Some of the questions are actually hard and I think the people on the show wishes they had technoligy there so they could win the million dollors. On another note this idea of using the computer to find answers shows how much we have grown technoligy wise. I think that people should not take the computer for granted becuase many people in the world dont have one. Using it a lot, like for this " Are you smarter than a 5th grader" idea , is good becuase then you become more familiar with technoligy. Soon enough things like textbooks and real books will be gone becuase computers will take over. So for the people that do watch this show they should try this idea, maybe not for the reason of finding answers, but for the reason of using the computer more.
