Lecture Overview
On Thursday,
January 12, 2012 the lecture in ECT 201 was an introductory to the class. We
went over the entire syllabus, which is located in blackboard if you weren’t in
class. We also went over great study habits in order for you to succeed in this
class, which are also listed in blackboard. Dr. Agrawal passed out a syllabus
agreement form that must be turned in on January 17, 2012. Dr. Agrawal also
informed the class to read chapter 1 prior to class on January 17, 2012.
Last week Jan.10-13 was the Consumer Electronic Show. This is a show
held by the Consumer Electronics Association to inform people of the new
technology and promote growth in the consumer technology industry. This is the
largest Electronic show in the world. Many of the top retailers are apart of
this trade show. This show had many keynote speakers including CEO of
Microsoft, Intel, and Xerox. Not only are large corporations there but also athletes,
musicians, and Hollywood celebrities that are also ready for new innovations.
At the end of the show they hold an award ceremony to vote for the top
innovations. I thought this was very interesting. This is the website where you
can see the winners along pictures that were taken during the CES and new
technology http://www.cesweb.org/
