Ride the wave! The google wave!

Talk about comparing the world wide web to an ocean where you can surf the different sites, google wave is going to make interaction within a Web 2.0 base so much easier efficient and allow a wider array of modes to do it with. Cloud computing can be done with google wave and the sharing abilities are limited, but I mean how much do people want to share anyway. If we try to share anything else would be transporting ourselves through computers and I think that kind of technology is way ahead of us still. To me it looks like it is compacting most of the things we already have into one more regulated form of programming. I think it's interesting but I have yet to see what it can really do and I am also looking forward to it. The more personal our internet lives are the more we find it easier to be efficient!

My phone is telling me where to go!

Personalized technology in my opinion is great! There is no other way to describe it, honestly everyone tells you how naked the feel without their phone and there is a reason why. Phones are making most of the things we used in our daily lives obsolete and us more efficient and of course more compact. I like that I can wander around with my planner, mp3 player, video game console and phone all in one. It gets rid of that unnecassary need to carry so much but allows you to do so much more. Well now, they have the Garmin Nuvi phone, interestingly enough it tells you where to go. Granted it's no Mp3 player, planner, and video game phone - it tells you were to go and incorporates voice commands. That to me is pretty special, I give it an A for awesome, but phones still can do that, I think what makes the Garmin phone superior is the voice qualities that other phones can't provide or have yet to provide.
