Today's technology has had a tremendous impact on society. Today's student's can stay awake alot longer and learn in fast and effective ways. Today's educational curriculum must keep up with the current pace so that generations will benefit and continue developing technological innovations.
In this paper I will express my personal views on the various curriculum trends in the next ten years. I will start by reviewing the impact that technology has on our current generation.
Since the introduction of the personal computer and the internet. Great progress has been made in how our children will be able to learn at home independently at home. According to David Thornburg, because the Internet is "doubling in size every year, (and) the web is doubling in size every 90 days (there is need for) a complete rethinking of education" (1999, p.4).

Curriculum Trends
I'm afraid that I found it difficult to take this essay seriously after reading, in your introduction, that "Today's student's can stay awake alot longer...".
The rest of the essay is not particularly well written, and therefore is difficult to read. Using the same tense throughout would alleviate this problem.
Also, I am not sure that you have really given any concrete ideas here.
