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/
Interesting post. What product did you find most interesting at the CES?
ReplyDeleteThat is cool. I'm interested in the new technology coming out as well. There is no telling what kind of stuff Apple will come out with in the future.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds interesting. I checked out the website for the CES. Celebs like LL Cool J, Dennis Rodman, 50 Cent & even Justin Bieber were there. They even a had ESPN 3D event. What was the top innovation?
ReplyDeleteI really think that the show was interesting. Consumers have the option to know about new technologies and see hands-on how it work. By the way, is it a one time thing or it is something that happens every year?
ReplyDeleteThis post was very informative & interesting. I never knew of the CES Show & to see that a lot of celebrities are interested in & investing in technology is a plus for those students within that field. Without a doubt technology is something that if you don't choose to adapt to you will be left behind. I will bookmark this site to stay informed on the new technologies & see how they work.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the update about the Consumer Electronic Show.
This post was very interesting and informative. This was my first time hearing of the CES Show and what it is all about. To see what new technology that companies are bringing out in the future was exciting for me. Especially with my major being computer technology. Also I agree with Rashad Woods that if you are not updated on your technology that you will get left behind.

The reading was really good and i'm sure it helped a lot of students who are majoring in computers. Thank for this information and you also recapped class perfectly.
ReplyDeleteNot only was this posting informative and straight to the point, it gave me insight on something that I was unaware of, that I am now interested about.
