Electronic rivals want to eliminate cables: Sony, Samsung, and others to create
HD wireless standard
Corporations have come together and came up with an idea to develop an industry standard around technology and create WHDI, for Wireless Home Digital Interface. This means that a people would be able to their television into any room in the house and watch their favorite program. This TV will have access to any source in your home. It can be interacted with a set-top box in one room and a PlayStation system in another room, or even a DVD player as well.
This technical idea comes from Amimon Ltd. of Israel. Aminon is already selling parts of this creation, but broad industry groupies makes it that more likely consumers will buy WHDI-enabled devices from other manufacturers where everything will work together.Noam Geri, the co-founder of Amimon expects that the televisions with Amimon's pieces will reach many shops by next year at a price costing $100 more than those non-wireless Television sets.
I am someone who can not keep my eyes of the tv. I would love to carry around a tv and to be able to bring it room to room is very helpful for someone who may not have TiVo in a specific room. This is great for when you want to relax in the bath tube as well.

Blog Comment on Guest Speaker
Our guest speaker on Thursday the 16th of October spoke about his life and struggles in life from when trying to focus on getting a career. HIs name was Nustrat Durrani. He is now the Senior Vice President and General Manager of MTV world.
When he was younger he grew up in India. Back then there were not much options in the work industry. His first job in India he worked five years with Electronics. Then he got tired of it and decided to travel to Dubai. In Dubai he got hired by Honda as a marketing manager.
In the year of 1993 he spotted MTV on television. He was always into music such as David Bowie, but never saw music videos before, because they didn't have that in India. For the first time he saw music videos on MTV. He was really interested in it that he did a lot of researching.
When he traveled to New York he went get an interview at MTV and got rejected because he had to get his college Masters first. He was so into MTV that he traveled back to Dubai to quit his Job and went back to America to get his Masters. He basically started his life all over again.
When he went back to MTV he ended up seeing the same lady that gave him trouble last time he was there. He wanted to work with MTV so badly that he ended p doing a great Internship, which was very competitive. Luckily with all he went through he got a spot. He joined the interactive side and deals with partners.
Now he has been their for many years and is in charge of a program called MTV Iggy. MTV Iggy is about people, mostly teenager, all around the world. To get a global feeling. He showed us a clip of this as well.
His point to coming to lecture was to let us all know that you will succeed, if you don't give up. He definitely went through so much in his life and I give him a lot of create.

Flying Car or Drivable Plane?
Terrafugia
by: Squee.gee
This article is about a transportation figure that can both drive and fly. It is shaped like a small airplane with its wings, and once it lands on the ground it turns into a car. It was designed from Light Sport Aircraft and they thought of an idea for it to be legally street proved as well. The transition for the LSA has to weigh about 1,300 lbs.It is 500 lbs less then a the smart car.
This definitely saves peoples money to go on trips and is obviously easy transportation. It is awesome to actually not just have your own plane but be able to park it in your garage as well. I remember years ago when I heard about flying cars being created in the future. It was very hard to believe because I couldn't think of how it would be possible. They proved their point that it is possible and it finally as been created. It actually reminds me of the fictional Batmobile accept it's not that sharp looking and much cheaper in its price.

The Polaroid PoGo Instant Mobile Printer
by: Michael Artsis
This is a printer that works on batteries and the only thing that has to be replaced is the glossy paper. There is no ink cartridge necessary either. It is easy to carry around. Here is how it works. You take a picture using you mobile phone and send to the printer in your phone options. The printer will receive the image shot instantly and print out with no wires required. This idea has replace the old fashioned Polaroid camera that printed out the picture instantly, then had to be shaken to get its color.
I think the printer is a great thing to had. It is very easy to throw in your bag is bring around where ever you go. You can print pictures at anytime. Who wants to wait to develop picture or run to a computer to download your picture when you can send a picture to to a printer and receive it instantly as the spot you are standing in.

Using Video Games as Bait to Hook Readers
PJ Haarsma designed a game from a novel reading. This was his idea for preteens be easy educated. It is used as a learning tool with a twist of fun. For those who may struggle on pick up a book and would rather play a video game. This is great for them. This game is set up in a way where questions are asked in each level. He feels that combinding a video game with a novel can
be very helpful for the learner, because they are being able to watch the action and be apart it. They are able to get a sense of the story and can learn it quicker. Now schools are trying to do the same in finding an easier way for the student to learn and actually be interested as they are doing. The article mentions that recently the Pew Internet & American Life project concluded that 97% of preteenager from ages 12 through 17 play games on computers, handheld devices, and consoles. Comparing the reader and the novel to the gamer and the video game, both learners are looking to play the same role which is to become the character.
I think this idea of combinding video games and novels together is a brilliant and very helpful idea. Not only would these video games give the person energetic pleaure, but the gamer is learning at the same time. Not only do they take novels and books and turn them into video games but also in the past few years they have turned all subject matter into electronic devices.
I remember when they came out with Hooked On Phonics. This electronic worked with a voice machine and was a fun learning tool, but was more like a writting tool with not live imagery. Video games these days are still sidetracking but some accomplish a great education and are worth it.
I am one who always finds it easier to see imagery as i study the work. Seeing the picture helps me a lot and gives me a better understanding.I wish they had come up with this idea back when i was a preteen.
