Sometimes life throws you curve-balls, they aren't always easy to handle, but sometimes with a little patience you can overcome being overwhelmed by them. Today was my curve-ball. I'm planning a move soon and now my car will be headed to the shop for an ECU problem? The cost $900 plus tax, ridiculous by all accounts. Although this is awful, it has allowed me to step back and organize all of my ideas, and get a clearer picture of what I want to accomplish with this move. Also today Steve Jobs reacquired the top spot in the social media universe. The brand new Iphone is out, Iphone4. It is pretty amazing what can be put in a phone. Also the implications of this device are so far-reaching, if you can do everything with a phone than you won't have to carry around a huge laptop, you won't need a pda (whatever happened to the pda) or possibly even a calculator. I've also thought about the education possibilities of the Ipad and the Kindle. The future of education completely rests in how we can harness technology and mold, and mentor, and manage the new devices. Imagine the day you can carry your Ipad and have all of your textbooks, all of your notes, and all other information. You can also then have the information on your Iphone as well for when you can't carry around your Ipad. It is an amazing thought. The implication for design students to be able to create a project anywhere that creativity hits them, business students to be able to straighten out charts, and analytical processes. Or graphic designs or web design to create the next generation. It is a beautiful thought to me. Or Chemistry students to be able to analyze and interpret chemicals in 180 degrees. Imagine, create, discover, and see the next generation become the best generation.
