Day 5 of EDUC 730! We covered augmented reality...mind blowing. On one hand, I'm overwhelmed at the advancements technology has made, like using Google Goggles. It's almost like x-ray vision. Google Goggles are glasses which provide information at every turn; temperature, restaurant locations, friends whereabouts, etc. The GPS intuitively provides directions and can reroute your path even if you're on foot. On the other hand, it kind of freaks me out that people have become so "trackable" and personal information is easily accessed.

The technological advancements permeate society and bring up some moral issues. What are the boundaries on privacy? Where do you draw the line? I want to be able to track my kids when they are away from home, but I don't want to be tracked when I go on vacation and my home is left empty. Pros and cons to everything. A lot to think about.

Group presentations went well. It was interesting learning about the various topics and seeing that they all share similar trends.
