BYU Tech Expo

I didn't get Professor Burton's e-mail about BYU's Tech Expo (check out the website, if only just to admire the cool parallax scrolling effect http://cougartechexpo.byu.edu/) till later in the day, so between class and work, I wasn't able to catch much. But, I did swing by for the very end to see the Technology Trends session. It wasn't like one of the more informational sessions like they had earlier in the day that I wish I could have gone to, but it was still very interesting.

In the Technology Trends session, a professor from BYUs IT Department presented us with various videos that showed interesting facts about internet usage and that displayed some cool innovations with technology. While viewing he discussed with us some of the cool things that are happening with technology now, and what effects this has one us (so it was like a mini session of Digital Culture with lots of YouTube videos).

One of the videos that we watched and discussed was this Google Glass trailer.


I think Google Glass is undeniably amazing and fascinating technology. But, could it really be something that is going to catch on? I don't really know much about this technology or what Google is planning, but I would be really curious to hear others opinions about it and the impact they think this kind of technology could have.
