Individual Tech Tasks

Below is a description of possible individual technology tasks designed to provide you with opportunities to use new and developing technologies.

MANDATORY

1. Create a blog and make at least five entries throughout the semester related to you major and how technology affects it. MANDATORY FOR ALL. You may use any service (search for various sites that allow you to do this e.g. blogger.com)

Entry One: I bought a smart phone: The Palm Centro.
My bf, who works for Sony, and is rather tech saavy asks me why I need a smart phone. The first question should have been, 'do you even know what a smart phone is/does?' Answer: no. All I know is that my plan costs more.

Here is my reasoning - Andi is leaving sprint so this is my last chance to upgrade to a snazzy new phone for a fraction of the cost. (Andi was also moving in but that is another story.) Also - I don't have a laptop of my own. I'm borrowing my bf's. So I thought a smart phone was a nice in between (between having a laptop and not having a laptop?) Admitedly I'm a little drunk on new tech toys. I bought a flat screen for my desk top and the bf brought home a PSP which has been glued to my hands for weeks. So I was excited about the opportunity to get a new toy.

I think I'm off track . . . how technology effects my major . . . well i can now recieve emails on my mobile device which allows me to communicate and network with people no matter where I am. I am more able to read about the latest innovations and to jump on any opportunities that may present themselves.

hmm . . . for the first entry, I think that was pretty good.
