Podcast

I used to think that I was up to date with technology. I always played around on the net when I had the extra time. It has amazed me how much and how fast technology has spread around the United States. When I heard the word podcast I had no clue what they were or how to do them .
I had seen Itunes on the Internet but never took the time to play around with what they had to offer. The podcast are very educational. Podcast are fun and entertaining for all ages in the spectrum. They are a very educational way of showcasing how technology is changing from day to day.
The podcast are not just another boring movie, they are something to keep you focused. As young adults we look for something to keep us wanting more out of what were watching. Podcast are not like a boring lecture. They are minutes to hours filled of people who talk about what they love and enjoy.
I really enjoyed the podcast. They remind me of a favorite TV talk show that you just cant walk away from. All the information and the music in the podcast are a few reasons why they are so eye catching. I really can't wait to begin our podcast, so i can be a part of it and not a viewer.

Did You Know; Mr. Winkle Wakes...

The movie, Did you Know, was very interesting in my opinion. It is amazing at the amount of people in the US that uses the Internet. We never know what can happen next in the instance of new technologies.
The point of the how many babies are being born as we speak is amazing. I never knew that there were so many people using different networks on the web. Another interesting fact was the number of people that met using online dating services.

Mr. Winkle Wakes brought everything to reality. As the years have progressed everything has changed. I can remember when i was younger I didn't have a computer until I was in the 6th . There was just never a need for one. As time progressed teachers started wanting papers typed and printed out.
I can see the shock he would have went through seeing all the technology. We take all of it for granted when our grandparents and older family members didn't have then things we do know. I can only imagine what will come in the future in means of technology.
