//Evolution of Educational Technology EDUC 7100// //Dr. Roberta McKnight// = Welcome to Roxanne's Timeline Wiki  = = Inspired by Toffler's New Wave Theory =

Toffler has done extensive work on the history of technology and culture (Toffler, 1980). He believes that we have undergone three dramatic waves (periods of time) in society (Toffler, 1980). The previous waves seems to predict the velocity of each subsequent wave. We are now questioning what the next wave will be, if any.

The periods of the Wave Theory consist of the Agricultural, Industrial, and Information Ages (Toffler, 1980). Each Age will reflect the technological innovations of that period. Toffler also believes that we may enter a fourth wave after the Information Age. I will predict the direction of the fourth wave based on my observations and experience with technology in society. include component="pageList" homeAtTop="true" hideInternal="true" limit="100"
