I was quite amazed by the interaction of Claire and the virtual boy. When Claire passed the piece of paper to him, it can actually duplicate what's being drawn on that paper! With exact same size and same color/thickness of the pen's ink.
That's the power of technology!
However, no matter what it is, there's sure bound to have the positive and negative impacts on society. Taking this technology for example, like what's being mentioned in prof's blog, it is good that lonely child at home are kept entertained and accompanied by this virtual friend, and at the same time, parents are able to monitor the situation from work. What i felt is that, yes it is good that the child has a companion, but spending long hours interacting with this virtual friend is not good for the child. Even though the child will learn how to interact and communicate with this friend, it might hinders the child's progression towards social life if the parents do not spend enough time with the child. It might isolate the child from the society, as he's been kept too long with this virtual friend. Parents have to take measures in ensuring the proper growth of the child by not overdependent on this type of technology.
Cloud computing..... I've watched this video more than 3 times previously in other modules. I find this video to have introduced cloud computing to its viewers very well. We're able to gain understanding to cloud computing and the contents are very informative and interestingly attracting us in knowing about cloud computing...
Besides that, i think the introduction of Web 1.0, Web 2.0, Web 3.0 has helped us in knowing what's the difference between these 3.

I find this analogy to be cool. Using the evolution of ape to human for Web 1.0 to Web 3.0
The improvements from the previous and how technology change has impacted on the Web 1.0 --> Web 3.0
For the presentations for this session, i find them quite interesting. I'm engaged to the presentation on the TV as the graphics and layouts used for the presentation is fascinating to me. It does not shut off the audience but keeping the audience wanting to hear the presentation. Good Job! Nice Future Predictions like clicking on the car to see the model and adding on to Shopping Cart. HAHA! even though it might seem weird to buy a car through "on-line shopping" but who knows? It might really happen in the future! Good interaction with the audience.
The other presentation which draws me is the one on Free economy. Even though the slides may not appear as interesting and fanciful as the previous presenter, he gave a very good presentation with good contents and examples to illustrate his point! I've enjoyed the presentation.
Overall rating for this class: 8.5/10
