Zeer

http://www.zeer.com/

Zeer is a web 2.0 tool i dont see many uses for. You can buy products from a online store and get them shipped to you. I think it could be a little dangerous because u dont know what shape the products will be in when they get to you. I would say it would be easier safer and cheaper to just go to the store and buy them yourself.

Evri

http://www.evri.com/
Evri is a web 2.0 tool that can be used for a few things. One is you can search people products objects etc... and get information on them. You can use it to get news on things like the presidential campaign.

This can be a useful tool, but i think there are so many tools and resources out there that are more reliable than this.

PDA Vs. Laptop

PDA and laptops are starting to go against each other some people are saying PDA's will take the place of laptops. They're smaller and some say they are just alot better. I say they wont laptops are still progressing and at a incredible rate there are some that weigh 1.5 pounds and get smaller than a inch.

Babbel is a tool to help you learn other languages. It can be a usefull tool but I think there are better ways to learn another language than a not widely known/recognized source.

foodblogsearch

http://www.foodblogsearch.com/
Food blog search is a web 2.0 tool I dont see much use for. Alls it is is you can post food, recipes, etc...

I dont see much use for most chefs I dont think would go look it up on the internet they would probably just look in a cook book or something.

Xurrency

http://xurrency.com/
Xcurrency is a web 2.0 tool that I dont see much use for. Only use I can see it for is worldwide trade and exchange of money which not many people do.

So in my final opinion it is not a very useful tool unless you are dealing with another country.

Pixton

http://pixton.com/home
Pixton is a web 2.0 tool that can be used to do a couple things. One it can be used to create cartoons/comic books. Two it can be used as a educational tool for teachers. Three it can be used to manage time and money.

I find that this is a good web tool although it seems a little childish because you can only do cartoon versions.

Ztail

http://www.ztail.com/
Ztail is a web 2.0 tool that can be used for 3 things. One get price checks on used items. Two sell items online that have been price checked. Three Buy things online at cheaper prices than other stores.

cmypitch

http://cmypitch.com/
Cympitch is a web 2.0 tool that can be used for many things. It can be used to compare business pitches with people and connect you to small businesses. This is a good web tool although it does say small businesses I doubt you will see major companies with a account on this. It may be more of a distance if you cant make it to a meating thing because you can put video on it and do it that away. Other than that its not a very usefull tool.

http://www.retaggr.com
Retaggr is a web 2.0 tool used to create a online business card. You can cre ate a customizable tag for when your online. You can create it to make a good first impression to people.

ContestMachine

http://contestmachine.com/
ContestMachine is a web 2.0 tool for creating contests. The main objective is to create contests then you select the winner. I dont see it as a very useful tool due to it is limited to contests. I can see it being useful if you were looking for new ideas or something along those lines but other than that I dont see much potential.

Mapme

http://www.mapme.com/
Mapme is a web 2.0 tool that is used to create maps. You can create maps for nearly anything and you can add almost anything to them. You are able to create a map to your favorite places like to your favorite place to hang out. This is a good web tool if you are trying to give your friends directions but other than that i dont find it a very useful tool besides doing that. It would be more like a guideline then a actual thing to lead you there because the maps you can make arent very big so you wouldn't be able to show him how to get there from long distances unless you made a couple of the maps and placed them side by side.

Xbox 360

http://www.xb360info.com/
The xbox 360 at this moment is the biggest gaming console out there sellingmore than the wii and ps3. The xbox 360 and the ps3 are basically the same from my point of view but the ps3 cost waymore than the xbox 360. The xbox 360 and the wii are very different the wii is all about interaction were as the xbox 360 is about hard gaming and some interaction with some games. I have a xbox 360 and the wii both great gaming consoles the wii is fun games that get even funner when playing with others same way with the xbox 360. The ps3 is to highly priced for the little difference it gives you from the xbox 360.

Xbox 360- costs about $400 new games cost $60
Ps3- costs about $600 new games cost $70

High School Technology

http://www.education-world.com/a_tech/tech/tech211.shtml
High school is basically about test success there are big tests everyone has to take. They take a very long time to grade so some schools are trying to go computerized when it comes to these tests. The reason they are trying to do this is so they can get grades back quicker instead of taking months to run papers through a machine. Alot of schools now are also using projectors to display notes, videos, etc. So schools are now becoming more high tech to make their jobs easier.

The Internet

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet
The internet is a network of connected computers capable of swapping data in little packages. The internet was created by the US government as a means of communications in fear of Soviet Russia missle attacks. After the war the need for it to the government died out and universities asked if they could use it to exchange data and ideas with each other. Eventually it became common use to everyone allowing access to information that they may need at any time to their disposal. Although the internet is full of fun things and information it is also a way to get attacked by viruses sent by other people through information or emails. The internet these days is used by everyone for research to gaming to Surveillance. The internet is a great thing but if we were to lose internet in this age it would mean mass chaos shutting down systems and operations all around the world making everyone who uses it suseptible to attacks from rival countries wether it be by virus or whatever means people can think of.The picture in top left corner is a diagram of what the internet looks like.

Forensic Technology

http://www.ornl.gov/sci/techresources/Human_Genome/elsi/forensics.shtml
DNA forensics has progressed alot, it used to be the cops would just think of people who would have a motive and arrest them. Now they go through processes that give them the definite answer. They are capable of identifying bodies testing DNA to find people and alot more. In the past year they found a way that they could lift finger prints off bullets and seek gunshot residue on people allowing them to identify who load and or fired the gun. They have also invented a machine that can take samples from the air and identify materials in it. The capability of identifying people now is down to getting some sweat hair anything and comparing it to another sample from that person in a computer alowing the scientists to identify dead people also for example if someone got attacked by a animal and they wanted to find the animal type they can take the bite wound and saliva from it and compare them on a list and it could tell the scientists the person was attacked by a bull dog for example.

Computer Support

http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos268.htm
Computers have progressed alot in the past couple years and so have problems with them. Some people have a tendency to forget password or even destroy hard drives an more. There has to be people out there to repair them the computer support people. You might not think it but being a computer technician requires alot you need a college degree a bachelor degree is required for alot of positions. The different computer technicians all have high requirements but make a average of $48,000 dollars a year. Some computer technicians go out the the location and fix it some tell you how to fix it over the phone and some send you directions in a email. So computer technicians require alot and there are many different ways to help the people but they still get the job done anyway they do it.

Interactive Learning

http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-interactive-learning.htm
Interactive learning is a way of learning through hands on activities that. Children learn though interactive and passive means they learn how to speak through passive(just pick it up from hearing it). Interactive learning they do activities that will teach them (interactive is generally used for harder subjects such as math, chemisrty, and biology). Leapfrog is a producer of childrens interactive learning toys (number 1 in america) which are given to children at young ages. In college interactive learning fades so most parents buy software or other items for their kids in college. I have a opinion interactive learning in fun ways is the best way to teach it will keep the students attention and make it fun and interesting instead of just writing on paper and taking tests.

Robotics

http://www.thetech.org/robotics/universal/index.html
Scientist in the past 50 years created robots that can think for themselves. They are able to explore do jobs playing. The idea of robots isnt actually all that new Jewish people had a legend of golems robotic like creations made of clay Leonardo Da Vinci had created plans to make a robotic man in 1495 (although his idea would fail due to it would need transitors which werent created until 1950s). Robots are now capable of defusing bombs going into live volcanos and building factories painting cars and alot more. The mars rover is a robot capable of thinking it is able to scan the landscape and pilot itself around and when it finds a item it is programed to search for it will take a sample of it and analyze it. There are alot of dangerous jobs that have removed the human factor by placing robots in there place. In the robotic challenge robot wars they create robots to fight other robots for a reward.
