If we can dream it, we can do it....right?

Yesterday a peer and I were putting the final touches on our ECMP final project. As mentioned before, we are completing a webquest that we believe will be appropriate for the Grade 1 level. Talk about frustrating!!! Throughout the process we have had the naive assumption that if we can think of it in our head, then it should be able to be done on the computer. Things like embedding recording devices in our webpages were not able to be realized and our assignment certainly did not turn out exactly as we pictured it in our minds.

The point is, I found it interesting that the gap between our mind and what technology can actually accomplish is still pretty substantial. Maybe we aren't as advanced as we might like to think, or maybe our brains are just going way ahead of the amazing technology we already have. Either way, I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has ever had this type of experience :)
