Leaping away from Facebook

April 06th, 2009 | Category: Social Media, Technology, Web Design

Facebook is believed to have over 300 million viewers, while others project that the number is much higher and close to 1 billion; one seventh of the world’s population. Apart from the statistics, we’re aware of the massive amounts of people entering their offices every day or spending recess in front of the monitor to check their new wall posts. Facebook’s user policy is under reconstruction now due to angry people complaining about privacy issues, and above that, they have experienced yet another layout change which has angered many, and some people have started to not participate in it anymore.

To many, Facebook hasn’t been living up to the expectations they once had. It was known as a simple, easy-to-use tool to connect that had a common look and feel that Myspace didn’t have. They grew, then grew some more, then the layout continued to change and people got mad.

Twitter is on the rise, but it doesn’t replace the complete functionality that Facebook yields.  Has Facebook maxed out or will they be the stronghold for a while longer?

Wireless Network for Calculators?

February 20th, 2009 | Category: Technology

That’s right, Texas Instruments now have an upcoming product that allows calculators to connect via wireless network, allowing teachers to transfer files to students during class. Texas Instruments have always been at the front of the ball game with their graphing calculators, and now their latest calculator, the TI-Nspire, will allow wireless file transferring using the Navigator system. Slideshows can be sent instantaneously to the student’s TI-Nspire handhelds. And remember playing Block Dude on the TI83 back in high school math class? Forget it, with the new TI-Nspire Navigator the teacher can see everything onscreen of every calculator in the network.

Being released Fall 2009.
