Android Tablet?

I personally think the apple iPad is WAY overrated, and i do beleive that google and Android have a much better chance to make a tablet that is more functioanal, and closer to an actual computer.

Second Life

At first I thought Second Life was ridiculous, why not just socialize face-to-face? But after thinking about it for a while, i realize it could be very useful for some with certain handicaps or inabilities to go out and about. Overall its just another step forward in technology.

This is amazing, not only will this help reduce the price it costs to actually use solar energy, but if the price is reduced it will make it much more wide-spread. Which in the long run would get us off of our fossil fuels!

Week 4

Just got a new computer. It has been fun applying what i have already learned in class, in real life. I am getting a TON of knowledge from this class! Definately makes me think i want to go into computer science as a major.

Another device for kids to waste away their life with.... We need something to introduce these kids to a more face-to-face style of environment. They are turning the nation's future into zombies.
