7. Take at least 3 photos of your group's session. Put the photos on the last page of your group assessment paper.
8. Group assessment paper is due on Feb. 16-17, class time.

EM-TECH GROUP EXERCISE~~ Jan 19-20
**This is a group exercise. Brainstorm well. Be creative. Be cooperative. Be realistic. And be pragmatic..
1. In the advent of technologies, new terminologies are also formed or created.
According to AskOxford.com, Blend is the name given to a word formed by combining portions of two or more separate words. Wikipedia on the other hand tells us that in linguistics, the term blend is used to refer to general combination of words, and the term “portmanteau” is reserved for the narrow sense of combining two function words.
Example~~ cyberspace, Spanglish/Taglish, emoticon
Think of at least 5 new blends or portmanteaus related to your topic area OR related to ICT. Give a good description and/or meaning of the word. Ensure the context of these words have popular usage.
2. Lawrence Husick listed his top 25 innovations in history.
A. As a group, what will you consider as the top 5 innovations of the 20th century. Please rank and justify each of your answer.
B. Following his explanation that innovation takes place when there is failure or rule-breaking, give at least 3 examples where failure and/or broken rules become rule of thumb. Provide a brief explanation for each.
3. For no. 3, you may choose between A or B.
A. With an estimated 30% of a young adult’s time being preoccupied by his interests on social networks, list at least 5 major features or capabilities of the next generation of social networks. Make sure you are not suggesting something that is already existing.
B. Think of an application for the Ipod that will complement the urban lifestyle of young college students like you. Describe the application and list the features/capabilities.

Em-Tech Reading Assignment for Jan. 19-20
As a continuation to the discussion of what are the emerging technologies right now and how these make impact to our lives, we will also talk about ideas on Innovation, Changes, Progress. As we encouragingly entertain these thoughts together with the rising technologies there are important things in life that we also forget.
I found this interesting blog of Alex Wright that we will use for the discussion. Pls find time to read it, it's not a very long entry. Choose a line or statement that made an impact to you and explain why. Are you scared of this? Are you disagreeable with this or you don't believe in this and think otherwise?
Here's the link to the reading~~

Em-Tech Creative Reporting

Hope you plan your reporting scheme! Good luck!
Hope you plan your reporting scheme! Good luck!
EM-TECH READING MATERIALS (Set 1)
For our initial discussions, we will try to see what guru Tim O'Reilly has to say about having two worlds~~a world of abundance and a world of constraints, and that there should be bridging of this gap, this disparity.
This division has long been an issue since the birth of technology. But with the changing economy of technology when it is now becoming more powerful, more accessible, more available, and cheaper~~ developers, policy makers, businessman and end-users should find ways and means to have "cross-pollination" of technology to bridge the gap.
It is now the challenge to ICT majors to make a difference.
Please read the following articles for Jan 14 & jan 15 discussions:
Enabling Citizen Science
http://en.oreilly.com/et2009/public/schedule/detail/5565
Guide questions:
What are the salient points of the researchers' hypothesis?
do you think it will work? If Yes, how do you think it will work? If not, why?
If you'll be asked to design a similar thing for the Phils, how will you approach the project?
Mobile Phones Reveal the Behavior of Places and People
http://en.oreilly.com/et2009/public/schedule/detail/5450
Guide questions:
What are the perceived benefits of this idea?
Who do you think will benefit from this?
What could be the possible consequences of an application like this?
Will there be issues, and if there are, what issues are you anticipating?
Urban Homesteading: The Rise and Fall and Rise of Modern Making
http://en.oreilly.com/et2009/public/schedule/detail/7026
Guide Question:
What is the common denominator among developed and developing countries who have shifted from agricultural to an industrial/information nation?
What are the issues faced here?

Mew Mew Tower, an iPhone app for cat stackers
TeruMemo, an iPhone app that makes taking notes fun (and a note about TokyoMango crashing in Firefox)
