Join the Waves of Tech as we explore technology and how it influences your life on a daily basis. In this week’s TPN Weekly, the Waves of Tech crew discussed education, space, consumer devices, and the future of various industries.
Education: The influence of technology is everywhere! Educational institutions maintain thousands of research databases and professional journals which makes going to the library for research a near thing of the past! Professional IT training, information access, and career development are all discussed here.
Space: The introduction of technologies such as GPS, satellites, television, and communication have created a global village of connectivity. We enjoy stories from around the world and are able to witness miraculous events such as the Chilean miner rescue. Also, when was the last time you stopped and ask for directions instead of using your GPS system or cell phone?
Consumer Devices: The crew discusses the various tech gadgets laying around the house. Once you really start thinking about this topic, the list is long. The home computer, the cell phone, the gaming system, the Blu-Ray player, the Kindle, the iPad, and the HD-TV are tech gadgets we have grown accustom to having and using.
The future: The debate rages on about the future of newspapers, brick and mortar bookstores, and commercial TV. Dave is a bit more optomistic while Mikee and Steve are convinced these industries are soon to be a thing of the past.
We are out of here, it’s time to ride the waves of tech.
