Someone Else's Project

The project that was of interest to me was Paul's iPhone and Apple project. It really dealt with how cellphone technology has evolved, and how technologies have converged to create a valuable piece hardware and software. The iPhone became so popular because of the 3g network and the touchscreen, but it can play music, act as a camera, go online, play games, and call people. This idea of combining technologies for entertainment and communications might be later applied to many things, perhaps wrist watches with iPhone capabilities, Tv sets that can surf webs and have phone calls. The iPhone is innovative in this i believe, and although I don't have one, Paul's presentation really open up my eyes to why it has been so popular.

Our Class Wiki so Far

I been editing and writing up the wiki for MMORPGS. This allowed me to research an area I was interested in aswell as my project topic. I have edited the introduction and definition of mmorpg a few times, it's been changed due to the editor. I disagree with his definition, and placed a more clear answer. I have put in more names in the mmorpg as well as added Pictures pertaining to a few of those titles. I added a directory or link to a mmo site that rates games and gives reviews about games. This overall what I have done for the wiki

Next New New Thing

The Next New Thing that should come out should be an online review of what people think of you. This is more towards social netoworking, instead of rate my professors theres a rating systems for your overall performance in life.
People will get to judge you on how well you have done for yourself, whether you have a good job, a good education, good family life, social skills etc. The profile online will have a few facts about you , like say high school education, current pay, and whether or not you can dance. These facts may seem random, but people( the people you let judge you) will rate you . The rating systems is not clear, btu high rating means under the current circumstances your "friends" and family think you are doing well for yourself. This internet judging can or cannot be taken seriously depending on how the person feels about being judged. This rating site is meant to show the person what people think about you, perhaps it will make you reflect on how you are handling life, and push you to make your life better. Name for the site should be RateMyLyfe.com
