I feel as if I will be able to adapt even more than I already have, but I can see the termination of the traditional school. Some day in the future, every town could have that ghost building that used to be a school. I wonder what they would do with all the empty schools? Maybe that won't happen, but as you said, it can sneak up on you pretty quickly.Clayton M.

I just can't decide if I think it is worth the money to spend on all the latest Apple gizmos and gadgets. Sure they're great devices and they're fun to play with, but my PC and BlackBerry do what I need them to do. Hmm... Maybe someday I will break down. I'm sure once I commit to a Mac, I'll never go back to a PC. It's just a matter of getting to that point.ChasePiperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200381921655509203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590836053512794448.post-45187519899211818022011-09-27T01:08:47.599-05:002011-09-27T01:08:47.599-05:00Scott Kelby is amazing - I had never heard of him ...Scott Kelby is amazing - I had never heard of him before reading this blog. <br /><br />I enjoy messing around with Photoshop, so obviously this guy's blog is right up my alley! Kelby also seems to be in the know when it comes to EIT - I enjoyed reading his post about Google's new social networking service, Google+.<br /> <br />Google+ has several advantages according to Kelby, he even suggests that Twitter had better watch out!<br /><br />Kelby lists the following about Google+:<br /><br />- It is an excellent resource for photos and a great place to meet photographers<br /><br />- You are not limited to the number of characters in your post like you are in Twitter<br /><br />- The editing options available for Google+ are more convenient than many other available services<br /><br /><br />One drawback of Google+: its brand new. Kelby discusses that while it is a great networking tool for photographers to connect, so far it hasn't provided an ideal amount of clients.<br /><br />https://plus.google.comNelson Rokkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11205880556368275777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590836053512794448.post-75562186488188478292011-09-26T20:06:28.709-05:002011-09-26T20:06:28.709-05:00Nothing is worse than failing technology!

While some days technology can serve as your best friend, other days it is your worst nightmare.<br /><br />I remember questioning the ability of my USB flash drive constantly during my undergrad. Nearly every time I gave a presentation, I was nervous that the file wouldn't save or that it would be corrupt. These days I have several backup plans: I still use a flash drive, I always email the files I need to myself, upload them on googledocs, and often even bring my whole laptop.<br /><br />Apparently I lose either way, because I just can't seem to put my full trust in technology. As a result, my bag isn't getting any lighter!Nelson Rokkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11205880556368275777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590836053512794448.post-69499699093843760122011-09-26T10:59:08.466-05:002011-09-26T10:59:08.466-05:00I used to take notes on my books and I think it...I used to take notes on my books and I think it's a good learning habit which makes me easy to organize what I have learned. So I didn’t really want electronic textbooks until my cousin showed me how to mark on iPad two weeks ago. Although marking on ebooks is less convenient than marking on paper books (my opinion), I think having e-textbooks as backup may be a good idea. I don’t need to take a 30 pounds backpack everywhere everyday if textbooks go all together in a hand-on device. But I don’t think I will replace my paperbooks with ebooks. Technology has its own limitations, I’d like to take advantage of it, but I won’t rely on it.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09865407568735093572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590836053512794448.post-54303654184080659482011-09-25T23:40:47.232-05:002011-09-25T23:40:47.232-05:00Your right a back-up copy of the book would work, ...Your right a back-up copy of the book would work, however I do not have PDF versions I can backup from some of the publishers.

I think that the Mac is one company so it is easier to appeal, whereas the PC has thousands of brands so they get divided a little? Split vote if that makes sense? In general, Apple products seem to be made better (aside from your iPod trouble Jackson). My Dell has withstood a lot, but I also treat my products (especially expensive electronics) with care. APPLE forever, which actually there was something on the radio about that. A woman was working and called in and said her coworker was a bitter PC user and that's why he hated her, I thought it was funny:)Cassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044291189717236977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590836053512794448.post-1023832897891449572011-09-20T18:54:47.987-05:002011-09-20T18:54:47.987-05:00I know that I have been very happy with my Macbook...I know that I have been very happy with my Macbook since I bought in December '08.

I have never used an electronic text. I guess I just assumed that it was like reading a book on iBooks where you wouldn't need the network. Maybe the files on a book that big take up too much space? Just curious. I have always wanted to try that because my backpack weighs in at 40 pounds. The back problems are starting at age 30.
