Taking our classrooms out of the stone age

I have known that there is a huge problem when it comes to the technology gap in our schools, but it didn't really hit home until Jeff in our Master in Teaching class went through the exercise asking us how many pieces of technology we have per person per household. Most of us were probably 6+ per person, but some were even more. He went on to talk about how in schools, our students are going to be almost exactly the same way, even the lower income families will still have smart phones that connect to the internet. When schools receive computers and technology from the state or buy it in masses with grants or funding from elsewhere, it generally is years behind the current technology on the market and most of the time the students have better, faster, more capable machines at home. They obviously are going to be frustrated when it takes 15 minutes to logon to the computer, only for google to take another 5 minutes to fully open. Not only this, but when students come into the classroom we as teachers more often or not ask our students to put their phones away and listen to lecture or work on the worksheet. There are multiple problems with this. First off, when students come into our classroom from their own home with wireless internet and more technological power in their pockets than the first astronauts had going to the moon, we ask them to put it away. Why the heck would we do this when in real life they are going to be asked to utilize what they have at their disposal to get the job done? Why are we asking our students to re-enter the stone age when it comes to their curriculum, when we should be helping our students to understand and use the technology that they are going to have for their rest of their life? I'm not sure, maybe someone can help me out.
