My reaction to the video left me with a stunned look on my face. I cannot believe that that technology actually exists right now, in my life time. However, just because it left me in shock, I do not think I would want this technology, especially not now. This is because I do not believe this technology is necessary at this time. It looks handy and everything but I would definitely not spend a great deal of money on something that is not essential to everyday life and in a way scares me a bit. I am almost certain that my life can continue without having everything at the control of my fingertips.
The greatest parts of technology is that students do not have to spend hours and hours in a library searching for their information. I feel so lucky that my generation does not have to do that, instead computers come along and made life 1000 times easier. Not just that but also they have made computers portable and all different sizes. This is also extremely helpful and in my life it is necessary.Technology has also shown up for the better living in ipods and television. These things keep us entertained and connected with other countries. On the other hand, when technology gets too high-tech and way out there (like the video we saw), thats when I say no thank you and try not to think about how fast technology is developing. Just when you think it cannot get any "better", they come up with something that blows your mind. However, the new 6th sense technology blew my mind but in a mind opening way and not in a "I have to go buy that as soon as its on the market" way.
# paragraph 3 - at the end he says that it is quite cheap to make and that he will be sharing his software - Open Source. In your own words what does open source mean? What have you used that is "Open Source", what do you think are the pros and cons of sharing software in this way.
I really don't understand what he meant by Open Source. However, my best guess would be that he is telling us that since his product wont be VERY expensive (which I still believe to be expensive) that all people will be able to use it and afford it. However, open source could also mean that this technology will enable us to connect with everything else that we could not connect with before. This open source is another way of saying that it will "open us to everything." However, the pros to this would simply be the fact that everyone can have their necessities at the tip of literally their fingertips and well everything is even more easier than it was. On the other hand, I believe that too much communication exists and that if someone were to send too much personal information with others the world con encounter even more serious problems (even more than we have) !
