High Tech or What?!


Are we going high tech or what? I recently came across an article on CNN entitled Google at the gas pump. The headline was so captivating that I had to read it. This article talks about how Google will display mapping services on gas pumps in color on a small screen. So your next gas pump will have access to the Internet. How much fun will that be, this is especially a good device for those of us who like to take road trips and need to make sure we are on the right track whether we have a map in our possession or not.

I have added a link for you to read the article yourself, please click below to view:

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!


Blogging, Second Life, Wikis, Youtube, Google Docs, Flicker, Tweeter, did I hit them all? I think not....passwords, which one goes to which account, HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is anyone feeling what I am feeling? All of this technology is good but overwhelming. I enjoy learning about new technologies but good grief. Whats funny is, when you get comfortable with gadget something better comes along and it's back to square one. How do we keep up with it all?

RSS

I don't really have much to say about this article except for the fact that it reminds me of the link on my computer entitled FAVORITES. The only difference is RSS organizes the data being sent and stores them accordingly.

This tool can be useful to do research but like searching for data and using certain websites, there are risk to using RSS but what program doesn't have risks.

Point seven also points out that RSS can be used as a communication tool between student and teacher. In reading this section I was reminded of WebCT because it serves as the same function with the updating of assignments and contacting students or teacher for questions or information.
