Mr. Winkle wakes

The video "Mr. Winkle Wakes" is about Mr. Winkle, a man who wakes up after one-hundred years have passed and everything ( buildings, technology, hospitals, etc...) have changed around him. Buildings are higher and filled with technology that overwhelms him greatly. He falls ill and goes to the hospital where he finds "machines that breathed life into lungs...and things that he never thought could happen." That didn't make him feel any better, so he goes to a school where he finds comfort; where nothing has changed.

I believe the creator of the video wanted to convey the fact that schools are still not using technology to the fullest and our kids are bored and suffering. They are bored because teachers have lost connection with their kids--they're still using the same teaching techniques that are outdated and can not reach out to the kids today, therefore kids are not learning. And because they don't use the technology that is in front of them, the kids therefore suffer because they won't learn how to use it. And if they are not careful, they will turn into Mr. Winkle; a person who is afraid of change and can not adapt to this ever changing world.
