My thoughts on our first session:
What is this whole technology innovation about? New toys? Use of technology to increase efficiency? Or, a whole bunch of useless tools to be applied in a manufacturing that I’ll never use? This reminds me of how someone would feel when PC’s were introduced and they rejected the notion as something silly. Now, those people have been left behind if they haven’t learned how to use current technology. I’m feeling a bit like the one rejecting the PC’s by not embracing blogs, online research, and other technological tools.
I’m looking forward to seeing how YouTube can be used as a learning tool and how blogs are created and used.
The Price is Right exercise is a good example of predictive models and the impact of predictions on our thought process. Although, the prediction market model seems like an academic study in gambling.
My president needs to be in this course, he’s the tech junky – I’ll have to ask him if he knows of the Asus Eee.

The Asus Eee is a low cost, Linux based, light weight laptop great for kids and third world countries.
I am happy to see you coming over to the dark side. Soon you will be live blogging Steve Jobs announcements as he updates the newest Iphones. May I suggest you set up RSS feeds from Engadget and Gizmodo to be overwhelmed hourly by a flood of gadget and tech news.
I was excited to read the "What does Paul do" section of your new blog and disappoint that it was not more illustrative.
What country are you in today?
