Circuit Bending

Last night went the the presentation on "Circuit Bending". It was a great example of how I feel "technology" should be taught in schools. Here is a link with more about "circuit bending"..http://www.anti-theory.com/soundart/circuitbend/ In the class last night we opened up old musical keybords and played with the wiring to make new sounds. It provided me with an introduction to circuits and wiring in a fun way.

I think the idea of taking "technology" (computers, smartboards,calculators) and starting to break them down to their essence and understand a little about how they work will help all of us in world where our jobs, finaces, and education depend on this "technology".
