Everyday you learn something new. Well I have to admit that today was pretty shocking. It was actually pretty scary to hear people treating Advanced Language Arts like it was boring. Everything started slow but it's still a lot better than normal classes. In my technology research I found a lot of amazing new things.
This video, Did You Know 5.0 was created in Iowa to inform people about the rapid expansion of technology. There is one section that discusses how we've gone from VHS to Blu-Ray and the file size of any simple movie has gone around 500mb to almost 40gb. I always thought that the purpose of creating new styles of movie presentation was to make them smaller, not bigger. Instead it seems the entertaining things become larger and the capacity of computers grows with it to keep up.
I also watched this episode of Criminal Minds witch made me think about how the things from Social Networks are like an archive of our lives. I watched a video a long time ago about a program that takes all your Facebook posts and saves them and a program that will take a pre written message and put it on your twitter if you die. Nobody knows every single detail about the day of their ancestors but their descendants can look through these archives and learn everything about them. The Internet Never Forgets.
