We've been hearing about this moment in digital history since at least 1988, when the Xerox technologist Mark Weiser coined the term "ubiquitous computing", referring to the point at which devices and systems would become so numerous and pervasive that "technology recedes into the background of our lives".

When the GPS system in your phone or iPad can relay your location to any site or device you like, when Facebook uses facial recognition on photographs posted there, when your financial transactions are tracked, and when the location of your car can influence a constantly changing, sensor-driven congestion-charging scheme, all in real time, something has qualitatively changed

  I have great optimism for actually being alive to see all of this happen. My fear is that it falls into the wrong hands. Or we begin to rely on it so heavily, that when the system hiccups, the world crumbles. Recently, in my "Computational World" class, we talked about how the fear is all relative. My teacher (late 40s maybe?), said he wanted nothing to do with facebook, and has a hard time understanding why people feel the need to share in that way. He also despises his cell phone, and only carries one because his family insists. My generation has embraced all of these technologies, and I am positive that my son will grow up with few reservations about this incredible growth in tech.

I have spent many MANY hours "stumbling" through various websites. What I love about StumbleUpon is that you can choose a category (or categories) to "stumble" through. My favorite topic to stumble through is food. More often than not, the featured websites that would come up have easy-to-follow recipes posted on blogs and mouthwatering pictures. Another good topic to stumble through is games if you're looking for more lighthearted fun.

This iPhone app lets you take a picture of any barcode in any store. Once you have the picture, the app processes the information and displays all of the relevant product information. The best part about the app is the fact that it compares prices of the product at different locations. Never pay too much for the things you buy again
