The amount of data that is pumped into this building is unreal.
They want people to come to this stadium and play with their gadgets while a live football game is going on.
250 miles of fiber optic cabling is crazy!
The crew from Engadget did a great job on this video:
I never thought that I would see the day that I sent more messages on Facebook than I did through email.
Facebook & twitter have become serious threats to traditional email due to the amount of time that I spent on these two companies.
Facebook & twitter aren’t social networking sites, they’re life connecting devices.
I’ve witnessed people coordinating events as small as a party, to as great as a revolution with less than 160 characters.
The fact that the POTUS is debating on making internet connectivity and social networking as basic human right tells me that neither one of these two forms of communication are going anywhere.
There have been recent rumors of a Facebook “device” however they’ve been shot down…could it just be too soon for such a device?
Google didn’t enter the mobile world until they had perfected their bread and butter (search) so I can’t see someone just as smart, making the same mistake and rushing to market.
There will be some type of Facebook mobile device but not for at least another 3-4 years.
Hopefully by that time wireless data networks in the USA will be deployed, test and affordable (I doubt it).
There will always be email in some form but how soon will traditional email (google) be replaced by what was once called “social networking?”
Gotta love technology.
I’m really looking forward to the second generation iPad (if the rumors are true) because I had my first iPad moment over the holiday.
I had to spend about 6 hours dealing with airports and planes, so lugging around a notebook wasn’t exactly fun (especially when I spend 16 hours in front of this notebook).
This was the first time that I wish I didn’t need my Macbook Pro because of a better alternative.
The only thing that I needed with me would have been a personal media player, web browser and potentially a way to charge my cell phone (making phone calls would have been nice too).
The iPad would have been a great way to have a substitute to my notebook.
Loading movies & music to the device is an easy process and since I have Safari I could have taken advantage of the inflight WiFi.
The only issue that I might have run into would have been not being able to charge my cell phone with a usb port if I needed to.
I’m really excited about the next version of the iPad, if they upgrade to the device to dual cameras, a 4G connection, retina display (if possible) then I’d grab one.
I’d like to see the next version of the Samsung Tab (hopefully with a Super AMOLED display) before I make a fully support Apple in this current device war.
Gotta love technology.
