Interesting article about Google making contact lens - 2 views

    I thought this article was really interesting after reading "As We May Think" by Vannevar Bush as another way to show how far we are coming with science that now Google is making contact lens that will measure Glucose levels in Tears. It is amazing to see how advanced we are with technology. #emac6300

    Amanda, having diabetes this is an awesome thing. I can't tell you how many times I wished for some other way to monitor my glucose levels without having to prick my finger. I've done it for years, but you only have ten fingers and it gets old pretty fast. I have to alternate fingers and hands to let the others heal enough to prick all over again. This is amazing and I'll be in line I'm sure when this product is actually released to the public. I just worry about cost, can an average diabetic afford this kind of technology and will insurance pay for it? Thanks for posting this! #emac6300

    You know, I was wondering about the contact itself. I use to wear contacts and if anything got under it, it was killer. It would irritate my eye constantly till I could get it out. How can the chip not bother or be noticeable to the wearer?That chip on the fake eye in the video looked pretty big, even bigger than the photo in the article Amanda provided. How could I see past it, how transparent could it be? Also, if the wearer uses saline to water the eye, does that mess up the tear glucose readings. Man, I have a lot more questions for the manufacturers and scientists behind this. I would love to be a tester for this product. #emac6300

    A friend of mine recently started a conversation with these words: "Don't take this the wrong way..." I wish I could tell you what she said next. But I wasn't listening-my brain had stalled. I was bracing for the sentence that would follow that phrase, which experience has taught me probably wouldn't be good.

    Who knew there was a format to tweet! I like the thick tweets, they give more information. It truly takes skill to give that much info in 140 characters. I think more people need to try to tweet like this. I've seen more of the thin tweets in my Twitter universe of friends and family. Thick is in for me...now to do it right!

    I've watched this video before. When reading Morus', "'The Nervous System of Britain': Space, Time and the Electric Telegraph in the Victorian Age" the section about the re-marketing of the telegraph made me think of this video. The retooling of a commercial at the end of the video around the 12:00 mark is very good, if you can't watch the whole video. It's long but very good. #emac6300

    BiblioTech, one of the country's first all-digital public libraries, aims to reach more readers by hosting their entire collection on the cloud. Patrons may choose from 18,000 digital titles and can check out Kindles, too. I wonder if this is what all libraries will start to look like. I also love that they have an "iPad Bar" haha

    I have been researching activity trackers for awhile and happened upon this one last week after seeing so many coming new ones coming out of CES. It seems to be different than many of the other ones I have seen and just wanted to share.

    Wow, that is very interesting. It's like the Nike fuel band and Ct Scan in one. I wonder about the cost for something like that, especially the the monitoring of it. I wonder about the applications as well, besides home use I mean. Businesses and government could also use this monitoring system for employees or soldiers. Wait am I getting to SyFy with this? Anyway, very interesting gadget...I would love to go to CES one day! #emac6300
  • Katie Lopez on 17 Jan 14
     
    I am starting to think it is just me, but these types of wearables freak me out. I understand the health benefits and many of its pros, but I don't want anything monitoring my body all the time. Like those smart contacts, again I can see where they would really help someone, but I would be freaked out having a computer chip on my eye.
  • Lari Tanner on 18 Jan 14
     
    I totally see what you're saying Katy. I am not a fan of wearing contacts, so that would be a problem for me, but if it monitord my glucose levels and only I and my healthcare provider were the one's who could view the data I would be ok with it. The activity tracker/wristband thing isn't something I'd even want to wear all the time, just when I'm working out. But yah, not sure I'd want to be "Monitored" all the time! :)

      I see this line of text from 'As We May think' (Vannevar Bush, pg 3) and I think, Google Glass! Well, a primitive version but quite Visionary. #emac6300

  • Katie Lopez on 16 Jan 14
     
    Remi, I completely agree with you. Then as soon as I read your comment I came across this article. The way they describe Facebook for Google Glass sounds much like that line from the reading. http://blog.hootsuite.com/wearable-tech-series/
  • remi469 on 18 Jan 14
     
    Katie, thanks. That was an insightful post. I never thought much about the Google Glass medium being essentially visual. Text heavy media sites may have to adjust accordingly. This line from the article addressed it. "Google Glass is primarily a visual medium. It is a device reliant on visuals, gestures, and voice. For this reason, text-focused social media does not complement Glass. Do not expect to read long drawn out blog posts, or a constant barrage of tweets. Even so, text has its place-mainly to augment the visuals."

Bloggers To Receive Same Freedom Of Speech Protection As Journalists, Court Rules - 2 views

    This is good to know. I am always careful to be politically correct when I blog for fear of saying the wrong thing and offending others. Although I'm sure I'll still be that way it's nice to know that my opinion on a topic is protected.
  • anonymous on 21 Jan 14
     
    I think it is great that bloggers have the same freedom of speech protection as journalists, but journalists sometimes get a lot of heat for what they write, especially if it is not in favor of the person they are talking about. Now every time I am about to post something publicly, especially on Twitter, I remember what Professor Knight said on the first day of class, that the person you are talking about may see it and respond to you. #emac6300
  • Carlos Harleaux on 21 Jan 14
     
    I think this is great news as well. As a blogger myself, I do try to be considerate of other people's beliefs, feelings, etc. But, people should also have the freedom to talk about what they like. I have been thinking about Professor Knight's comment about Twitter posts as well, lol. That definitely wouldn't be a good situation to be in. I like the concept of the "trigger warning" too. It's a good way for people to be able to choose whether or not they want to go forward with reading the material.
