Sixth Sense

While watching the video I was thinking about how much technology has advanced and progressed. I remembered when we all had VCRs and videotapes, now you have blue ray dvds that provide you with spectacular color and view for whatever your watching. Its incredible to see how much we can obtain from technology. I would want one of these because my life would be so much easier. Technology would do everything for me, I wouldn't have to do things by hand nor worry as much because technology is so precise. Also, things would be faster to do, see, and locate. If we want to take a picture we just make a shape with our hands and there we have our picture. If we want to know where your flight gate is you just use technology and there you go. Technology and its new advances are making progress in the world.



Technology has many advantages and disadvatanges. One of its andvantages is that life is so much easier with these new inventions. We can get informed faster and easier than having to sit infront of a computer and waiting. Besides that, the information we get is much more precise and sometimes it can make our daily life better. Not only that, but we get to interact with the physical world. We can mix things we do in reality with technology like copying information from the computer, grabbing it with our hands, and pasting it on a piece of paper. Even though technology has its advantages it also has its disadvantages. I'm scared to believe that if we use technology in our lives too much, there will be a point where we won't be able to do anything without it. Instead of getting up and and getting some water all you have to do is press a button. Also, people depend so much on this valuable source. Everything is done through technology, from information to communication with others. As you can see, there are many advantages and disadvantages, but we've got to learn how to keep it balanced.



There are many types of open source, and its an easy way to use other peoples ideas. An open source is a site that is opened to everyone, a site where people can use other peoples opinions. I've used open source many times. For example, Facebook is an open source where you can communicate with your friends and share ideas. Another example is moodle, teachers use this site to inform students the homework or create tests. People around the world have access to these sites and are able to use them the same as us. As many things in the world, open source has its advantages and disadvantages. One of its advantage is that people can share or require help from other peoples beliefs. Also, it lets people have access to other sites and be able to enjoy them too. One disadvantage is that people sometimes are too lazy to come up with their own ideas and steal yours. Not only that, but sometimes they take advantage of being able to enter this site and copy every detail. In conclusion, open source is good but also bad in many ways, be careful with what you post.
