Emerging Technology, Part 1

     My article is about the new Facebook timeline. There are over 850 million active Facebook users, so this was a very intelligent way to keep the website more organized. Facebook's motivation is to better target the advertisements that are responsible for 85 percent of its revenue. Facebook's data warehouse was adding 625,000 terabytes of compressed data daily by last January. Timeline's new features are bound to boost that number dramatically, potentially providing Facebook with more personal data than any other ad seller online can access. One way Timeline gets users to add marketable meaning is by asking them to categorize their updates under a large collection of "Life Events," which includes tags for actions like having a child. A user who notes a relative having a baby is prompted to specify details such as the gender, hair color, eye color, etc. This timeline is like an autobiography of the website user. When people see Timeline, they become aware that all those bits and pieces are more than the sum of the parts. I myself really like the Timeline for Facebook.

     In 2009 there were a few past "emerging technologies" that we do use today including Software Assistance and Networks. We use these electronic helpful tools in our computers daily. Many software are much more complex today, then they were in 2009. But we used these ideas to help develop what we have today.

Feeling of the Podcast

I enjoy writing an essay more than recording a podcast. I think this because I don't like it when my voice is recorded, and I think I sound like the weirdest person on Earth.
Writing the report went well, and uploading the recording to Podbean and also to my blog. My recording I believe is a great one, and was fun, yet embarrassing to do.
The areas I had trouble with was the recording itself. Not messing up words, going to fast/slow, and speaking up enough is a super hard thing to do.
I thought is was out-of-the-ordinary and was kind of fun, and we should do it again soon, but shouldn't do it all the time.
