MWolfe's Blogs for school

We as a human race have advanced in the last couple of decades in major strides. We have technology today that was not available to us before. Internet is insanely important for many of us to function today in 2008. We have weaponry that could take out this entire planet, advances are being made daily. I recently bought myself a laptop, the idea of having a box that can retrieve news, weather, and information from the entire globe is something that was unthinkable 200 years ago. With todays sophisticated internet programming languages, programmers are creating websites that can do things which were not possible. Myspace and Facebook connect millions of users together in social networking sites, google answers almost any question you throw at it, online games allow you to interact with others in ways not possible offline. Organizing data is much easier with the computers and internet, you don't have to use many resources, even our school has it's databases accessible online. Our assignments, grades, teacher communication, and much more USF school related tools are all accessible online. With my laptop, I could save myself from waking up in the morning to write this journal and instead write my journals in between class, in the comfort of anywhere on campus. I believe we should continue advancing until everyone replaces paper, backpacks, books, with portable books that display information and connect to the net. OLED's are one of these technological advancements which make this possible.
