This document discusses student opinions on emerging technologies including social media platforms like Twitter, Flickr, and blogs as well as collaborative tools like Zoho and Google Docs. For Twitter, students like using it to follow news, entertainment, and sports as well as actors without direct contact. For Flickr, students appreciate being able to view high quality photos from friends and family. Zoho is seen as useful for recording lectures and accessing notes from anywhere. However, blogs are viewed as time consuming if no one engages, and Pandora has limitations like restricted listening hours and ads. Google Docs was criticized for waiting on others and limited features requiring internet access. Overall, the document covers pros and cons of various emerging technologies from a student's perspective

* 1. I like to receive live and
breaking news headlines from
my local TV station and also
entertainment news along
with sports updates and
highlights
* I can follow some of my
favorite shows and actor’s
through twitter, and they
don’t even have to know me.
* I may use Twitter in the near
future for networking
(job)purposes

3. *
*Its free
*I can stay connected with
family, friends, and
classmates. Keeps me
involved with everything
and everybody
*I can play interactive
games. Send a birthday
wishes to someone I
would normally send a
card too. Saving on
postage stamps.

4. *
*Its free
*I like that geotag gives you
the location of the place
that you took the picture
*I would like to get more of
family and friends using
Flickr, because I don’t
have a phone that I can
receive great quality
pictures. This way I can
view them with
preciseness and get feed
back

5. *
* Most of us are our phones or
tablets to take notes and
keep up with homework
assignments.
* And if you don’t take good
notes Zoho has the option to
record your instructor
sessions and listen to it later.
* I have access to Zoho
anywhere have Internet
access. Don’t have to worry
about keeping up with an
USB.

6. *
*Upload photos and
create or edit different
looks. Take a boring
photo and bring it to
life with one click.
*Its free
*I can insert text to a
photo and make it
sentimental

7. *
*Time consuming
*What if no one follows
you or comments on
anything you blog
about
*I’m not one to use
blogs to express
emotions of feelings

8. *
*Pandora only allows so
many hours a month to
enjoy music
*It’s not always
accurate
*Advertisements

9. *
*Waiting for e-mail
addresses
*Waiting for them edit
your document when
there's a due date
*Limited features and
you must have internet
access

10. *
*Information overload
*Not very interactive
*Creating another
account and
remembering another
password

11. *
*To much customizing
involved
*It can become
cluttered
*It don’t have the
opportunity to always
check updated content
