Emerging Technologies

The emerging technology of light-field photography will be used in the future for letting you adjust the focus of a picture after capturing one. It surprised me that such a tiny camera can record position, color, and intensity of light that comes through the lens. It also records the angle at which rays of light arrive. Light-field photography would improve the focus of our cameras. It would also improve the lens and what the lens records. Looking at the list from 2009, there is paper diagnostics that was considered an emerging technology back then. You would take the paper, and dip the corner in a sample of urine or blood. The sample moves through the testing wells and whatever reaction it is to the paper turns it a different color. The colors that would show up are blue, red, yellow, or green. They tell you what you have been diagnosed with. They also show up in different patterns.

Online A Reflection

Technology to me is important because its a way of communication. You can e-mail people or you can use a social network to communicate. I think the biggest way technology has changed over the last 5 years is by social networking. The old famous social network was Myspace, but now everyone has a Facebook. You can go on all of your social network on your smart phone.  I think technology will change in the next 5 years because it will be more advanced & people will have better technology.
      The technology i use for school is a computer. I use the computer for my e-mail & research for school. The technology I use for personal use is my laptop, & my phone. I use my laptop for Facebook, mostly, & occasionally for editing some of my pictures & to listen to music. I use my phone for texting, mostly & to call people. I also use my camera a lot on my phone.
      I will use some of the technology i learned in this class in the future because if i ever created a blog, i would know what website to go to. Or if i needed to create an avatar i would know how to use Audacity. I think Power Point is the most practical for learning because you can have slides filled with notes, & you can also include pictures. No one likes just copying notes without visualizing what you are writing. I don't think i will ever use  chirbit, so i probably wouldn't use Audacity very much.My favorite tool would have to be making a Blog. Even though i don't really like updating what I'm doing, I could also use it for pictures to show the people that follow me. There were also many different ways to design your blog including font, backgrounds, & the layout. My least favorite would have to be Blabberize. It was a funny website, but i couldn't get the mouth to look right.

Voki vs. Blabberize

Voki is a website where you can make an avatar of whatever character you want. You can choose what you want them to look like, the backgrounds, & you can either type or record what you want them to say. Blabberize is a website where you can take any picture you want of someone or something & make a mouth on the picture so you can also type or record what you want it to say. I would preferably use Voki because it seems more realistic.
