February+Video+Reflections

Wow! That's just amazing to think of what has come into the technology world in the past few years and what is fading away. What's next? It's exciting to think of what will make life easier/faster/more convenient. Will blackberries really begin slowing down the use of computers? It seems like all these things make life easier to keep up with people/what's going on for all of our "busy lives." In todays world people are on such a go go go mode that we don't have time to do everything we want. Now with the technology world expanding through the internet with the likes of computers/blackberries people seem to have the time to do these things whether it's on a commute to work, in line at the store, eating some lunch, or on break at work. These new ways are fast and easy. Like the video said "It fits in your pocket." A blackberry hold so much knowledge all in your pocket. Also, what is all of this new technology going to do to peoples social skills/writing skills? People now don't have to confront anyone about a problem anymore, they just tell them how they feel on facebook or through a text. No need to go and see them or give them a call. People text so much and so quickly that proper writing skills may be also diminishing. Most people don't text using punctuations, words are written shorthand or come up for you as you type. These are all great new ideas that are coming out, but at what cost will it have on society? I really enjoyed the video as it's just is amazing how fast the world is moving.

So I want one of these! So it says it starting at $499, that kind of scares me. How much is the "good" one going to cost? So this thing could get me to actually convert to an apple user. This is something so handy that I could take it with me virtually anywhere and the screen size is amazing. This is something that would even hurt print media more than it already does with reading the newspaper, magazine, and even it's own book store that you can download books onto. A very convenient piece of technology and I think I would love to have one!
