Up Date Facebook No More!!

Over the last couple of month Facebook has been updating their page and it has cause a lot of issues with its customers. Not only did it change allot of the ways we as users used their page but we had to relearn how to use Facebook. In my opinion, what frustrated me is the fact that it too forever for my phone to update. I don't really use my Facebook online, I am always checking on my phone and when you have to update every other week it gets a little annoying to say the least. What is funny about this, is the fact that the only reason Facebook went through the stress and frustration was because they worried about Google Chromes social media site taking over and since it caught them off guard it scared Facebook. Now that Google Chrome has slowed down I think (just like the article) that Facebook caught a break. Hopefully when Facebook goes to update it will not be that extreme again.

• Remember that the marketplaces is your competitor

By following there consideration and remembering that when it comes to gaining the competitive edge the a person has to find a unique opportunity before there competitors do as well. eCommerce and online marketplaces are always going to be competitive and will always change.

7 Tech break throughs for people with disabilties

I found this article about new technology being made that will improve the lives of those with disabilities. After reading though some of the technologies that interested me was first the Cochlear implant, even though its not a new technological advancement but with the advancement of software and hardware people with hearing problems are getting a better opportunity to hear and listen to the world around them. A girl in one of my class earlier here at the UofU had one of these and she said it has been nothing but a blessing since she got her implanted and time will only show how much better the implant can get. Second, the Ibot stair climbing wheelchair how cool is that. A wheelchair that can balance itself and climb stairs making people who are wheel chair bound get up and down if places are not ADA approved.

Iphone 4s

Now Apple has come out with its own personal assistant for their phones. Siri as they call it, will schedule dates, appointments and write text messages. Now instead of inputting all the information the Iphone will do it for you. I cant believe how much technology is advancing and how quickly. Before long we will thrive through technology- in the way we live, breath, work, etc. I think its funny that apple is staying so far ahead of the competition and they know it. With Siri they are apple makes the best software and hardware around. It will not be long until I guess I have to get on board with apple and get a Iphone but I really like the droid.
