Computer errors can let violent prisoners go free?

Computer errors let violent prisoners go free in California

That is some scary stuff if this happens often. Computer errors happen often, and we relay too much on them. If things like this happen the prison should confirm things before they release an inmate. Rather relaying all on the computer; they should have it on paper too.

A New Technology in Video Games



This game L.A. Noire is a new game that just was released by Rockstar Games(makers of Grand Theft Auto). They used a new kind of technology for this new type of game play as a Detective. Being a Detective this new technology can help you tell weather a person is lying or bluffing to help for detective work. Check out the facial animation; looks amazing!

For all your Techmology News

Engadget


Engadget is one of the best websites (I personally use) to let you know whats going on in the Tech world. They give all the info about the Hardware and Software and even the companies behind these products themselves. They also give reviews of the new hyped item to let you know if its worth it. They go behind the scenes to the expos and press events to give you all the info. I recommend this site a lot if you want to know the newest info in the Tech world.

Info Techmology

No, my opinion has not changed after the readings. I think technology is making our lives more convenient rather than make us lazy or dumber. Rather than looking through a thick text book to order a Pizza. You can just Google it and get the number and address in a matter of seconds. Just because we can get our information faster, doesn't mean we are getting lazier or dumber.
I'm a fan of technology, and am really looking forward to what comes out through out the years. Phones are becoming laptops, and laptops are becoming so powerful it isn't necessary getting a desktop (unless you are a gamer).

Michio Kaku: 'Back To The Future' Vision A Reality? (5/7/2010)



So all these things that are portrayed in Back to the Future 2, going to come in 2015? Well shown in this video, some of the things they did in the movie kinda came true.

The Easy Access to Entertianment

These days entertainment is getting much easier to get to, our music, movies, and video games. First of all, we have our cell phones which can give us internet anywhere we go. So this means we can stream music and movies anywhere we go. These days instead of just buying CDs or DVDs for music and movie needs; we have the internet to download or stream our entertainment at home or on our cell phones. Video game consoles are not only for games anymore, but becoming a multimedia hub in the living room. Not only we can play games, but we can store and stream music and movies on them too. Also use them as a DVD player; and for PlayStation 3 for a Bluray player also. We have things such as Netflix or Hulu which we can stream 1000s of TV shows and movies, which can be streamed anywhere from our cell phones, computers, and video game consoles. Entertainment is becoming something that can be reached anywhere now and not only at the movie theaters or at home with a physical format (VHS, DVD).

Internet and dem books

Internet is a great was for information, books are for pre-internet days. I personally hate books, and don't really care for them. With e-books coming out and things like Kindle coming out. Books are obsolete. Personally I would rather watch a movie or play a video game for entertainment. But books are good for things like school text books to keep you off technology and distractions like Facebook and Youtube. I think every book should have an e-book version with the physical version purchase, so for people like me we could CTRL+F information in our books. ;)
