Wheres the Juice? Wireless Chargers.

Do you ever get tired of plugging and unplugging your mobile devices? Well now those days may be over; now that some devices can be charged wirelessly. Wireless charging uses a charging pad that your devices can be placed on and charged up. The charging pad emits a electrical signal that is picked up by your device and allows it to charge up. Some devices that can be charged wirelessly include cell phones, cameras, tablets, etc. . Wireless charging makes things much easier because you don't need so many chargers to power up your devices. Who knows maybe one day we will totally eliminate the need for chargers period.

Google Helping or Hurting

I really didn't know what to blog about tonight so I'm just going to write what was in my mind tonight. So I was sitting here just trying to finish up an assignment for CTS 287 and as I go to submit it I find out that I'm a year late lol. Anyway back to Google which is priceless in my opinion, but to some people who may not be aware of the dangers of clicking on any link. Well that's a different story, because although Google has tons and tons and tons of good information there is also lots of bad information that idiot choose to pass off as the truth. My point is that if people aren't careful they can be easily mislead by certain information. The way I try to avoid this is by looking at more than one link and try to compare them to one another. Another concern I have with it is the amount of information it allows to be searched concerning dangerous things and how to make them. I mean how can we stop these evil people when we give them the tools and instruction to make whatever they need. Well maybe it's just me that feels that way, but anyway I hope that in the future Google will consider omitting some of the negative data that people put into their database.

Where's the Lines?

Throughout the years communicating with family and friends from home relied on endless wires running from state to state. Those days may soon be over now that companies are introducing wireless home phone technology. All you need is a base wireless device that eliminates the use of a phone jack and a monthly plan with a provider. Most companies are offering this service at a price much lower that the larger companies. Once you get the service the companies offer unlimited local and long distance calling as long as you have the service and no contract is required. Although some people will be skeptical about this, there are a lot of people who will be willing to make the change. Soon or later all home phones may be obsolete or all homes will have this technology.

Man vs Machine

We are now living in a time where it is already hard for people to find job with our struggling economy. Day after day people are losing their jobs due to cutbacks, but what if your employer told you that a smart machine will be replacing you. This fear will soon become a reality for a lot of employees, as companies look for more efficient ways to create their products. Some people believe that high usage of smart machines will have negative impacts; disrupting the lives of working people.(Henderson, 2014) I personally do believe that machines will replace a lot of people's careers, and with people not making money they can't buy the products smart machines make. Either way smart machines are every where and aren't going anywhere so my advice to anybody is to learn how to work the smart machines and you might have a fighting chance to save your job.
