Emerging Technology, Part 1

I chose the article about Egg Stem Cells. it was about how scientist Johnathan Tilly, was trying to dicover if there was a way he could make older women have a better chance of having a child. In 2004, he took he took the egg stem cells from ovarian tissue and palnted them into mice. the mice produced the mouse eggs and turned into embryoic development. They havnt found a solution yet, but they want to create a machine that transports the eggs back and forth so that the eggs can last longer for the older woman to still be ablle to produce a child. What supprized me most about the aritcle, is the fact that mice can still produce there normel eggs with our ovary tissue. we seem to sorta be related in a way which is weird.i think it will eventually pull through and women will be able togive birth at an older age. The article about Intellegent Software Assistant is now being used today.

online B: Reflection

Technology is important because we use it in our everyday lives. it helps us do everything. about 5 years ago technology wasn't as big as it is now. we didn't have the touch screen i pods or phones. we didn't have voice activated things. but now we do. i think well have flying cars. that d be cool. or like a phone as big as an iPad. they keep making the phones bigger and now we can barely even fit them in our pocket. i think things will become voice activated, where you can say a demand to just about anything and it does exactly what you said. you use internet technology and the computers. i use everything else for personal use. like t.v. iPod and phones. Microsoft i will use in the future for school stuff

Windows live Vs. Google Docs.

i like google docs better because i actually know how to work it and it just seems easier to me... Freeware: Software that is free of charge. Shareware: Software that is available free of charge and often distributed informally for evaluation Opensource: Open source describes practices in production and development that promote access to the end product's source materials. Commercial: A television or radio advertisement

Screencasting

a screen cast is where you can take a video of your computer screen demonstrating on how to do or work something.i liked how you could easily move around the screen and show everything you need but i didn't like how i had to talk. its helpful to me so i can learn more. and its most helpful to people who don't understand something.
