Robo Protect

My last post! I found an article on this robot that will help protect your home while you are away! How cool is this?!

All you need is an internet connection, then you can check out your home while you are vacationing in Europe. If you happen to see a robber, you can even talk to him and tell him you are calling the cops! The price point on this device is only $170. I think my father-in-law needs this for Christmas!

See ya later tech world!

Google and Facebook are being challenged because they create so much data. The question is whether they are willing to pay for the increased data traffic they create...

If they pay, we will likely have to pay too.

Virtual Classes

Since I just finished listening to 4 lectures online, I thought this article was appropriate. However, I wish we could have virtual classes live like the students in the article. That way we could ask questions and/or make comments. I am not a huge fan of the virtual lectures that do not allow for any interaction...
