What’s With This Verichip? By: Kellie Dammar
I found this article exciting since it discusses a topic which is pertinent to our society. The verichip is talked about in Kelly’ article and it shows the upcoming technology advancements which potentially might be introduced into our society. This is a big deal since the chip allows access to medical records and even can pinpoint locations of Alzheimer patients and even lost dogs. Even through the possible health and privacy concerns this chip is being positively publicized. However, from its descriptions, I find it somewhat controversial because of the similarity to the “mark of the best” in the last days.

I liked Heather’s article since it provided new technology which a sense of humor. I thought the ice cream was an interesting invention simple since it gives the individual a voice stress analysis.

Although this machine might not be extremely useful for our society it still provides a technological advancement which has the potential to revolutionize our society in a sweet way.
Technology Adopter By: Natalie Rogers
I like Natalie’s observation on our society’s obsession with getting the latest, greatest things. Even though we all find ourselves wanting these different things, we have to ask ourselves about the practical uses which we can receive from these things. We have to be able to separate needs from wants. Just because something is new and up-to-date doesn’t mean that it is a necessity when you have something just like the new product.
I’m Here For You By: Chris Norman
I liked this article because Chris talked about how technology has negatively affectively us. This is very different from other articles that I’ve read so far since most of them feel like technology allows us to be advanced. However, with his article he talks about how much time we waste on the interet with things that don’t matter. Many people spend countless hours on the internet for personal gratification only to waste time that could be spend on better things.
