I think the year 2045 will hold great things. I will be 59 by then, however, I dont think that will matter much by then as advances in medicine will be much better. Technology will be the biggest change. Im very doubtful that well have flying cars but completly emission free cars I believe will [...]
My Life in 2007
If in 2007 I could have some how worked on a technology I would have liked to work on the Apple TV box. Almost two years later and many people still have no clue what it is or what it does. I think it has much potential similar to TiVo. I would have like to [...]
Living in the 1940’s
For me living in the 1940’s would have been both good and bad at the same time. It would be good in the sense that the time seemed so fun to live in (aside from WWII which I will touch on shortly). Many new things were taking place, many new technologies emerging, radical social changes [...]
TECHlab: SST
This exhibit was interesting. I liked how they had little flash movies to explain how things work. I am pretty familiar with how cameras and recording sound work but to see how the television worked was new to me. Some of the newer televisions boggle my mind and I can only imagine what television sets [...]
Living in the 1850s
To live in the 1850s would be impossible when compared to today. Nowadays we depend on technologies to do everything like keep our houses warm, our cars to go to and from places, our Internet and TV to keep us entertained. But back then they had none of this. I think if I were living [...]
TECHlab: Electricity
This exhibit was very cool! It gives alot of information about electricity and how it came to be as well as some history on the television computer and even nuclear energy. I never knew that ancient greeks knew about electricity or that it was believed by some to be the “soul”. I am just amazed [...]
The computer
There are many various forms of media technology and the most mainstream ones today have undergone radical changes from their original inception. The TV and radio began as a means of broadcasting information and now, for the most part, have become a marketing tool for companys to spread both their messages and their products. The [...]
Piracy….Arrrr!
With the advent of software like Napster, internet piracy became out of control. It is by far the most commonly known and associated with illegal introduction to file transferring. No longer were people confined to buying CD’s or other mediums for content. At the time people could share music worldwide and not have to pay [...]
Identity and Internet Social Networking ID’s
User Ids and handles can contain many things. Names, birthdays, songs or sports teams. Others can be funny and even sometimes strange. One thing is for certain; they are plentiful. Everything on the internet requires a user name or handle and it has become second nature to people to make them. No longer do people [...]
Media Technology Use
The main forms of media technology I use are Television, Radio, and Internet. Although Television I believe is the most pervasive it is the form of media that I use the least. On an average day I spend no more then an hour or two watching television and even when watching I tend to watch [...]
