GPS technology at it's best!

GPS-guided positiong system, which enables the user to get an earth centered earth fixed position,used for data collection or navigation, on or beneth the earths surface. this technology is great for people who love to go into the backwoods,hunters ect. It is also a great tool for surveying and plotting maps. The only thing that i thought was ironic is that the government can control the signals so that the gps users don't always have an accurate reading.funny !!!

Computer Literacy

In CIS131 our class and many others who are using office word 2007 with the computer literacy for ic3 book,have had to compromise and use an on-line version to do our homework.Technology at it's best some would say.I wouldn't,However i am glad that we have the online version of the book i'm not pleased.It takes me twice as long to do my homework along with other little nitches here and there.I hate it

Why does everyone need to know!

In CIS131 we read an article about being fluent with computer technology, Why? The article stated that a number of people in our world today need to learn about technology and how to use it...I say BS. In the 1800's do you think people relied on computers to send and buy goods for the general store, NO. there are people today who don't use computers and get by just fine.Do you think that that just because 3/4 of the world uses computers that the other 1/4 will.Maybe with time but not today.computers might be a thing of the present,but for some it still is a thing of the future and i hope it stays that way during my lifetime, because god only knows what they will think up next,flying cars perhaps.

Yahoo!

Recently Yahoo has been trying to stay in the race with google in the digital search and advertising businesses. Yahoo has just made a deal with telefonica, the Spanish telecommunications company to feature it's search engines on mobile portals that are run by the company. This goes hand in hand with the google calender that we played with this week, with a feature were google can text message you when you have oppointments through your on-line calender. NEAT!
