Emerging Technologies' impact to I.T. students

Change is awesome, especially in the field of Information Technology. The rapid change and development in the field of Information Technology allowed several innovations and modernization of other different fields of work The application of different technology in our lives equates to me as making life as efficient and effective as it can be. Almost every field of study and work have been modernized or was affected by different emergence of technology around us. Information technology has penetrated most of the different fields of study and work today.

Emerging Technologies as a curriculum provided enrolled students a series of seminars on different emerging technologies. From mobile phone operating systems to broadcasting management systems, all with the focus to introduce to us and to inform us about some of the emerging technologies being developed and present within different fields of work.

The series of seminars in my opinion focuses on opening doors of opportunities to us, showing us different fields of work in which technology is either already present or being born. It gives us opportunities and assists us in selecting what career we should tackle, the different seminars were only some opportunities that lets us understand the different technologies being used and developed if we chose to take on that path of career.

 
The variety and some of the seminars discussions for me are not really effective in terms of content and discussion, I hope that if there will be EM-TECH seminars like this, a standard should be followed or guidelines. What I think a great concept with regards for discussion is like selling the emerging technology concept to the students, it's like inviting them not only to be open-minded to different technology present but entice them to engage with the career focusing on emerging technology.

Another view with regards to the significance of the seminars is for us graduation and even undergrads to realize there are more to engage in terms of projects within the different curriculum. It entices us to engage different systems catering to different existing and emerging technologies today.

The seminars when package with defined guidelines and variety would prove more effective and can penetrate towards a greater impact on Information System students career development.

Android Applications

TOP 3 ON BEST ANDROID APPLICATIONS

1. Fruit Ninja
Fruit ninja entices the users into a fun game which goal is to slice as much fruits  by dragging his/her finger along the screen while avoiding bombs to be sliced. This simple gameplay allows players to enjoy and experience different appealing graphics through various themes. Added multiplayer option and the use of data storage to profile and record the players achievements and scores.

2. IMO Chat
It's one of those great app for integrating several things into one. :) It allows instant messaging to your contacts. It allows users to connect using any of the common messenger or communication softwares such as Yahoo Messenger, AIM and MSN.

3. Dropbox
Sometimes plain is great! Dropbox kept it simple in terms on design but keeps it primary functionality intact. Dropbox is what I use to store my files and sync it with anyone such as my groupmates. Dropbox on android allows me to upload and download and even sync files from my mobile and share it with people I need to share my files with. It's simple UI and function that is almost the same with the web based dropbox ranks it as one of the best android app for me.

TOP 3 ON WORST ANDROID APPLICATIONS


1. Vaulty
Vaulty is a utility application that enables you to hide media files from your gallery. Vaulty is quite useful for people who doesn't want other people to see specific media files from their phone. What makes it one of the worst application on the android market is because when using this app, you have to do quite a tedious process of moving your media files to vaulty. Also, vaulty's way of sorting the files makes it worst, it automatically arranges your files alphabetically ascending file names. Vaulty lets you hide your media files in a very unpleasing way.

2. Attack of the Fanboys
One of the crappy games in the market today. Third person shooter gameplay, however what makes it a bad game is because of the design of each level, and the frequency of the enemies coming out. Adding up to its bad gameplay is that the game does not respond well with user actions.

3. Whose Baby is crying
The Whose Baby is crying simply makes your android mobile/tablet produce a crying baby sound when you drop your unit. In terms interface and its function, well it is quite simple, although the concept of triggering an event when you drop your android phone/tablet is quite good, the cry of the baby outweighs its good factors because it is really annoying.

WHY U NO!

LE CRY!
