Six Sence Video

      I think that this knew technology will absolutely change the world. People will want one of these much more than  a computer.I was always thinking that this kind of technology wouldnt be invented in another 100 years. I would very much want one of these. You just put it on your fingers and you can do Anything.
      The greatest things about technology are that you can do anything with technology today. Imagine how it will be more in the future. Everything will be so different. If right now you can do ALOT with some things on your fingers.
     For me open source means that it will open for everyone. That it will be affordable and anyone can have it. I also think that this has a down side in the way that people can take  picture of you anywhere. Or even something simple like video taping a movie.

Social Media

    I think that social media has highly changed the world. People now can contact people anywhere. Hotmail isn't used that much because you can email in Facebook. And everyone has Facebook! I even have Facebook since I was 12. I use it probably every day to stay informed. After watching this video I saw that if Facebook were a country it would be the 4 largest in the world. For me, that is very significant. I
 was also very amazed by the fact that Ashton Kutcher and Ellen DeGeneres have more followers on Twitter than the entire population of Ireland, Panama and Norway.
     Of course there is a down side to all this media. There have been many occasions in which people put to much information on their page. That helps the criminals find you easier. I read in the newspaper the other day about 2 girls who met 2 guys on Facebook. According to them they lived in Guadalajara. One day they said they were going PV so they invited them to Galerias. They met and after that nobody saw them again. About a month later they found one in Tijuana raped and homeless.
      I  do agree in the fact that schools do need to prepare for all this media. Teacher are going to start putting homework and assignments all online. Kids will have laptops instead of notebooks. Everything will now be online.
