Colorado #41

In this post Mr. Fisch says how technology is not the answer to everything in education but it is important. I completely agree with what he is saying. In our education today we still need to learn things like balancing equations and chemical formulas and technology cant teach us those thing. But I also think that in our generation and the ones to follow, technology will be more important then ever. Years from now the air force wont need pilots to fly jets but someone to fly it from hundreds of miles away with a controller. If people don't learn about technology or how to use computers then a couple years from now they will be put out of a job because they cant use Microsoft word or simple things like that. SO i think that technology is one thing that should be taught more about in school.

Escaped prisoner caught after 32 years.

After 32 years they finally caught Robert Charles Johnson the murderer who escaped from a jail in Colorado.That's all good and its nice to have a murderer off the streets but after being gone for 32 years why are they still looking. Is catching him more important then finding a missing 3 year old girl or catching offenders that committed there crime a week ago? Hunting someone who has been completely out of the picture for more than 32 years is a waste of time. While they were looking for him they could have instead looked for the robbery suspect who shot the clerk after taking all the money, or helping catch a rapist. Robert Johnson wont kill again because that would put more heat on him, he would get caught again and have a life sentence for two murders and escaping prison. The police should have let him go and do there jobs to justify what crimes are happening now and not something 32 years ago. How would someone feel if there child was kidnapped and killed, or a family member was shot and the police couldn't help because they were to busy catching a guy who hasn't committed a crime in 32 years!
