ASSIGNMENT 12 (SOCIAL MEDIA AGGREGATORS

I read through the material provided in our lesson for this week and watched the clips that were presented in the material. I found it fascinating that we have progressed to this extent. Augmented reality basically blurs the lines between what's computer generated by enhancing what we see, hear, fell, and smell. With games and cell phones so plentiful in our society today, augmented reality is being driven by these forms of technology. I was astonished that you could project a phone pad onto your hand and phone a friend without removing the phone from your pocket.
Since I don't use a cell phone, this is probably not something I would make use of, but I can see the benefits of such a use.

ASSIGNMENT 12 : FOURSQUARE

I typed foursquare.com and browsed the site. I do not have a cell phone, so this site would not really be one I would use. I do understand that anyone who uses a cell phone frequently and is a social person would benefit from the site.
