  • Car keys -- long perceived as the keys to teenagers' freedom -- may soon be the best way for parents to monitor their every move.
  • that allows parents to set safety limits on teen drivers through a high-tech car key.
  •  
    Ford announces a car key will allow parents to set limits on their teenage drivers. If you want to require them to buckle up before the car cranks - you can do it. If you want them not to listen to loud music or not drive over a certain speed, you can do that too! Technology has brought freedom - it can also restrict teens as well, as many will begin to realize. They should behave responsibily or more devices such as this will emerge to elicit control at the source.
  •  
    Computing devices are in cars and many other devices. This is an example of a device that will be used to restrict teenage drivers, from ford.

One Laptop per Child - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • The One Laptop Per Child Association, Inc. (OLPC) is a U.S. non-profit organization set up to oversee the creation of an affordable educational device for use in the developing world. Its mission is "To create educational opportunities for the world's poorest children by providing each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning."[1] Its current focus is on the development, construction and deployment of the XO-1 laptop.
  • To create educational opportunities for the world's poorest children by providing each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning.
  • OLPC lists five core principles:[7] Child ownership Low ages. Both hardware and software are designed for elementary school children ages 6ā€“12. Saturation Connection Free and open source
  •  
    This is the wikipedia description of OLPC. It consists of many aspects of the project.
  •  
    The concept of OLPC is a fascinating one. There are many issues with trading inside Africa but perhaps the coolest aspect of this is the "mesh" concept where one computer literally grabs internet off another OLPC that is nearby. The hand crank is also very cool as well.

      Make sure that you justify how skype is part of workflow software. Also, you may want to pull out how the new skype lets you screenshare and record a movie of that and has all these productivity add ins to help workflow go.

      This should be written like a wikipedia article in 3rd person so you'll want to rewrite this - also the current news section needs quite a few hyperlinks. How about all of the Google Docs and google type things that let you compute in "the cloud" -- also, things like timebridge let work flow around the world. Look at other things that help people work together like Elluminate, for example.

Examples of workflow software here including the article I posted to the Flat Classroom group that show that the White house has gone "open source" with the whitehouse.gov website, using something called Drupal.

  • Workflow software can be used many ways for a government as well as politics and employment. Working as a group simultaneously is very important to fulfill some kind of difficult work, like administrating works such as Microsoft Sharepoint . Since the work that big companies do is very complicated and intertwined over and over with the part that do not really seem to be related that much, workflow software is almost mandatory to practice.

  • A cell phone is a example of mobile and ubiquitous computing. A cell phone is mobile because it is able to be moved from one place to another. A cell phone is also ubiquitous because two people are able to communicate from different places by calling one another as well as SMS and video messaging. Lastly, a cell phone is classified as a computing device because it accepts input, processes that input into data that the cell phone can read, and produces output as information that a human can read.
  • Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing can be broken down into three separate words that can come together to make one topic. First, mobile means able to be moved. There are many technological mobile devices. There are cell phones, Ipods, portable DVD players, PDAs, laptops, and many other devices that can be moved or transported from one place to another. Second, ubiquitous means being present everywhere at once. Having the ability to stream live from a camera or cell phone to a website over the Internet makes that particular video ubiquitous.

    "The second steroid involves instant messaging and file sharing. Being able to share files from peer to peer is considered ubiquitous because the files can be everywhere and mobile because the files can be moved. Instant messaging is a huge breakthrough in the technological world. People can send instant messaging via cell phone, computer , PDA. This steroid revolutionized communication."
