I use this app for work and school to keep everything organized. It's great because other users of tungle can check your schedule to see if your busy or not. Great to use for internships, work, school, and social life. If you have a mac you can export your iCal as well

This program allows you to convert purchased music from itunes to mp3s so you can use them in your own videos, audio recordings, etc. It costs $20, but so far I think it's worth the money. It's fast and really easy to use.

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.
