Additional Assignment #1

I have never heard of Google Squared nor Wolfram Alpha before doing this assignment. The educational implications of google squared are that in google squared you can categorize what you are looking for very quickly. It gives you a rating of how accurate and up to date the information is. It charts all of the information that you are looking for side by side so you can easily compare it. In Wolfram Alpha, the educational implications are also that of which it allows you to categorize information quickly. It gives you accurate information for what you are looking for and also gives you pictures and maps.
Dr. Stranges comments on this additional assignment didn't really alter anything that I thought of during the "Did You Know" video. I think that no matter what, the world as we know it will constantly change and no one can be sure of what tomorrow will bring. Information, technology, and statistics will change every day.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: The Stable Boy and the iPad
I think it is amazing that this little boy picked up on the iPad so fast. It only goes to show how broad a child's mind is and that we should never underestimate their abilities!!!
