In the 1940s, technology had developed enough for inventors to make the first generation of modern computers. One such model was so large it needed a room that was 167 square meters to accommodate it. During the decade, scientists in England developed the first computer program. It took 25 minutes to complete one calculation. In 1958 CE, the computer chip was developed. The first computer game was produced in 1962CE, followed two years later by the computer mouse. In 1971, the floppy disk was invented, which meant that information could be shared between computers for the first time. The first PC (personal computer) was produced in 1974 CE, so people could buy computers to use at home.

You can already buy watches which can do the same as mobile phones. Scientists have also developed glasses that are capable of doing even more than this.

Young people love learning, but they like learning even more if they are presented with information in an interesting and challenging way. Today, I am going to give a talk about how you can use the technology in the Jordanian classrooms.

Teachers can then use the Internet to show educational programmes, play educational games, music, recordings of languages, and so on. Teachers can perhaps ask their students to start writing a blog; either about their own lives or as if they were someone famous. They can also create a website for the classroom. Students can contribute to the website, so for example they can post work, photos and messages.
