i think this article is very interesting because i thought for the longest the land lines were unecessary and you basically get phone calls from sales people and bill collectors these days because most people have cell phones. but now that a feature like this is offered people can feel safe answering the phone knowing its a friend or family and not a bill collector or sales call.

“The Digital Librarian”

chalaism — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 22:24:28 +0000

This article is about how librarians are now becoming more technologically savvy to better aid the people that they serve. It discusses how they are now teaching students how to use computer programs such as Powerpoint and Excel and also how to research properly when using the Internet. I think this is important because younger kids need a jump-start with technology so that they can keep up with it.

Will Cable Become Obsolete?

This article is about how hi-tech items like Blu-Ray players, X-Boxes, and Wiis allow people to stream television shows and movies without paying for them and how these actions are threatening the livelihood of companies like Comcast. It also discusses how free internet sites such as Youtube and Hulu are doing the same thing. I personally don’t watch T.V. as much as I used to because I can catch my favorite T.V. shows on Hulu and for free.

They told us of these technology predictions for 2009 last year. How close were they? Or were they way off?

Google updated its site on Monday to show Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter updates if they have relevance to the things we search for on Google.

this article dicusses the future changes for computers. it talks about discoveries that have been made to produce smaller computers that are more reliable,faster, and cheaper in price. i think smaller and cheaper are def better than bulky and expensive. but we shall see if this will come about.
