social media is the future of communications
“The iPads are provided for student use at no cost. They’ll be experimenting with productivity applications, cloud file sharing, interactive databases, and wireless printing in the classroom. Students will also provide feedback about how the iPad should be integrated into all of the university’s courses”
“The Fluid Interfaces Lab of Pattie Maes at MIT has been working with a very interesting prototype. It’s basically a wearable camera and a projector that can interact with the world around you. Like earlier augmented reality concepts, this takes things a step further, and lets you interact with pretty much everything. You can turn any surface into a screen or you can turn normal newspapers into interactive ones – the possibilities are just endless.”
‘Over the last five years, social media has evolved from a handful of communities that existed solely in a web browser to a multi-billion dollar industry that’s quickly expanding to mobile devices, driving major changes in content consumption habits and providing users with an identity and social graph that follows them across the web.”
“As news consumption shifts to the personalized social news stream, the platforms we use to consume the news are also changing. With its media-friendly design, the iPad is the first mobile device to create an environment perfect for real-time news consumption that maintains the sophistication and style of traditional print magazines and newspapers.”
“A Japanese journalist held hostage in Afghanistan for five months managed to send out a message via Twitter that he was alive when his captors asked him how to use a cell phone. Just days before he was freed, Kosuke Tsuneoka said one of the militants brought him his new cell phone and asked the prisoner to set it up.”
