2/17/15 SixthSense Technology

From watching this video, I learned a lot about the future potential for technology. SixthSense technology has many exciting features, the five features that amazed me the most would be:

• Would be the ability to have a screen/projection pop up anywhere you would like.
• With Sixth Sense you can simply hold your hands up, and it takes a picture. 
• Just by holding up a book, it will show you how many stars it has, reviews, and even get audio for it.
• It shows that you can also hold up a magazine, or photo of an event, and get watch a video right there!
• Lastly, I also love how you can simply use a piece of paper the same way you use a device (Watching movies, and playing games).

Even amazing technology like this has some flaws. Some of those flaws would be how shaky the camera would be because it is on your body. It also would need Wifi or cellular to be on the internet. One of the biggest problems would be how large the camera and the projector are. It would cause issues if you wore it outside or in public, it could be damaged easily.

1/16/15 Favorite App

 My favorite app in the appstore is QuizUp. QuizUp is a real-time multiplayer trivia game. It has over 600 topics to choose from, with new topics added each week. Including topics from current pop culture to obscure science facts, it's fun and educational! I love this app because you have a large range of topics to choose from, and you play against other random people! You also can level up enough on a topic to become the best at in in your state, or even country! I enjoy doing quizzes on my favorite book series or TV shows. To learn more about QuizUp, click here.

Why was all of the tracking a concern for the speaker?
The online tracking was a problem for speaker, Gary Kovacs, not only because it was keeping his own personal information, but his 9-year-old daughters information. These trackers are following him and his daughter on the internet, taking and collecting all of their information making their profile.
What do you think the trackers doing with your information?
They are using it in different ways to make money. The companies in this business's top revenue is about $39,000,000,000.
Were you surprised at how many dots/connections were appearing? 
Yes, I was very surprised when I saw how many dots and connections were appearing as he went on with his day. Also, with the children's sites that his daughter was going on also made dots appear.
How many do you think would appear for you? Describe your digital usage.
I don't think as many dots would appear for me as Gary Kovacs's did, because I don't get on that many different websites, but I probably would have a good amount of them.
Why would tracking be a good thing? Why would it be a bad thing? 
It could be a good thing, to help with national security, and also websites can personalize your choices like in movies. It would be a bad thing because there are different trackers collecting all the information you've ever put online, all your personal information as well.
