Presentation day!

We had a chance to showcase what new technologies that we found that we thought were interesting. The entire class created giant poster boards with their specified technologies while the other sections went around and looked at them. It was not too big of a new experience on my part because I have done presentations like this before over the summer when I took a class on presentational speaking. I wish that the time was extended a little longer so that I would be able to walk around and see what other people have done. One of the things that I thought was interesting was the way people would get graded and receive feedback on their posters. I never thought that people would use twitter the way that we had to. The whole thing was pretty neat.

Sixth Sense Technology

This video about Sixth Sense Technology. I found this to be really interesting and couldn't figure out if I was watching a Sci-fi movie or if it was really happening in real life. The ability to use any surface as a platform for computing purposes or even finding out information about what it is the camera is pointed at, is just simply amazing. I can't wait to see how the world will be like in 5 years, how much technology will change and how big a role it will take in our everyday lives.

Mobile Television

So I recently saw a commercial for FloTV. It is a definite upgrade from the old portable televisions with antennas. I looked into it after I saw the commercial for it and I was wrong about what I actually thought it was. It seems that you need to sign up for a service to watch television rather than it's older predecessor.

Here is a small pictures of the old mobile television:
