Respond to the following questions on the teachers blog by Friday, Oct. 15. What are your thoughts on this type of technology. How would/could this technology change your life or how you do things? Realistically do you think this technology would be available in four years?
On your blog - discuss newest technology you have used. Due by Friday, Oct. 15.
I believe this technology would change life drastically. It would more than likely take cell phones out of the equation. I think that a lot of its features are starting to appear on modern cell phones though. For example I do see people pull up theor cell phones and open web browsers to find information on things they are about to buy. As a matter of fact i myself have done it. Although there is also an immense variety of things on it that phones do not have. You cant control things with your hands on your phone os simply just draw a watch on your hand the way you can with this device.I have seen holograpgic keyboards , camera phones , and devices that you contol with narual motion but ui have not seen a combination of all of these things together. I think that if they can design it in a cooler way than people will do anything to have one and it may even go as far as to take over computers as well.
ReplyDeleteI believe that this type of technology does exist, and I am sure that someday people will be carrying these devices around as commonly as they would with cell phones or Ipods. This technology would make my life easier by allowing me to access information or perform other tasks just by moving my hands, and not having to pull out a cell phone. I also think being able to take pictures with just your hands would be very neat and convenient. However, I don't think this type of technology will be available on the market in four years, I'm sure it still needs a lot of development.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, this technology is not needed. Though it would change life, it would be very complicated to use. We already have computers, cell phones, and cameras. Not only do you have to worry about the repairs that would be need, and the asking price in general. This technology would make it a lot more convinent to take down a phone number when needed, or to even take a picture at a certain time. In reality, I highly doubt this product will be available, ready, without any disfunctions, in four years. This will take a lot of time to create.

I think that this is cool technology but it has all of the features that modern day cell phones have today.If you had this it would mean that you do not have to carry a phone around, its all projected onto a wall or your hand. The only problem though is carrying it around on your neck the whole time. I do think this technology will be available to the public in four years because they have already developed many features and they will probably have many more in four more years.

i do see this device coming out in the next four years but i do see that there could be alot of tecnical problems with this. there could be many brake downs because the device does look very fragil to me. I see alot of people buying this but i also see alot of people not buying this because you can can do all the stuff that this device does on your phone. for example you can take pictures, record videos, draw, and look up websites.
ReplyDeleteI think this technology is really amazing, It would change life so much the way you buy things and everyday life. I think It will help us choose better things when we go shoppng. But I think its a bad idea because we depend on tecnology so much that we need to step back and make are own decisions. I think it will be available in 4 years.
ReplyDeleteI believe that this is just an awesome product. It which change our live dramaticly because every thing would be at our fingertips... literally.The camera thing was so cool being able to just take pictures of whatever is in front of you and displaying it on any surface. I think it wont be on the market in four years but it really should because I'm sure people would want to buy it if it was smaller and wasnt so bulky looking I think many people would buy it but also It would have to be a good price. That is what I think about this.
ReplyDeleteI think that this is a really cool invention. It allows you to not have to have a cellphine, and make better choices about what you buy and provide you with more information. It would change my life because I would probably be more on top of things, and always be clued in about my surroundings and what I'm doing. I think it would be available in 5 years so they can introduce the product, make it more stylish and easier to use, and a little more portable and less obvious that you are wearing one.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion I think that this tecnology is needed, because we wouldn't have to carry around all of our heavy equipment. Yes I do think that this technology will be available in the next 4 years because if we are that far already then it will be their in 4 years.
ReplyDeleteThis really put me in awe,that people are this advanced already. You simply can learn anything about a single object in seconds with these devices. If you ever needed anything, you could use this device and your problem would be solved. It will eventually be made, In my opinion , and hopefully if it does, will take over cell phones, computers, and cameras. I wish we had these right now. I would probably be using it right now if we did.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, i do not think this device is needed. It would be very complicated to use, i think that this is more of a waste of time because we already got Computers, Ipods, Cameras and game systems. If this was real it would be very useful in life. I don't think in 4 years that this product will be out.

I think this type of technology is genius! This would replace many of the cell phones we have today. This would make life so much easier! It's like your very own personal computer at the palm of your hands! It would also help people make smart decisions about buying items. I could look up any information that I needed for a project anytime and anywhere. If I needed to find a book all I would have to do is open the book and it would tell me about the book.
ReplyDeleteFor example if I was going on a plane I could see what time the plane leaves and if the plane is delayed. Realistically, I do think this type of technology will be available in the next four years. If this device comes out in the next four years people will have a new taste of technology.
I think type of technology would be very cool to have. Although it seems very impossible, it could be the next greatest thing. This would drastically change lives, making everything at hand and easier. I don’t think this will be available in the next four years, maybe more but I do think it’s possible.
ReplyDeletemy thoughts on this kind of tecnology would be i think its awsome it would make thigns so much easer than what they are now. it would change my life alot like they said if you forget you watch or are not by a clock you could jsut draw a watch on your arm and it will tell you the time amazing rihgt! also instead of looking things up on a computer when oyu want to no what a book is about all oyu do is touch the book. this tecnology helps out alot it would make things go so much faster. i do not think this would be out to sell in 4 years i think if it would come out at all give it maybe 6 to 8 years to make better and the publishing of it.
ReplyDeletei believe that someday everyone will be using that but it couldnt be good for the people that make the cell phones. Then they say it will cost as much as a cecll phone i font think thats true because it takes alot of money to make one of those things.
ReplyDeleteI believe that this technology does exist; however, we already have enough technology such as cell phone, video recorders, computers and more. Some of the features on this is actually already being used in cell phones and computers. Even though I think it would dramatically change the way we live, I don’t think we really need this technology. Plus, it would take a lot of time to create this and I’m sure it would have many disfunctions.
ReplyDeleteI believe that this type of technology would make a big change in some people lives. It would make life a lot easier. You would not need to buy as many things as usually because this five sense technology will have it all there for you. It would allow you to do everything with your hands and you would never have to use a cell phone or anything like that. I think that in a couple of years people will have this type of technology and they will be carrying it around with them. I think it would replace a cell phone or I pod. I don’t think this type of technology will be available in four years because I think they still have a lot of work to do on it and it still needs to improve.

Well this seems very cool, but im not a necalace person and i wouldnt want to carry that around all day on my neck. but more and more technology is going to keep being developed and we are going to become more and more advanced in life.
ReplyDeleteI do think this device is real but i think it will cost more than 350 dollars. This would change my life
ReplyDeletebecause if it has a camera then you wouldnt have to by carmeras any more. I believe it will be more
than four years before it is fully functional, maybe more like six or seven.
