The document discusses emerging technologies including Facebook, Google Translate, Blogger, Gmail, Flickr, Twitter, Delicious, Sumopaint, Digg, and Technorati. Facebook is described as convenient for posting from any device, straightforward to use, and entertaining for games and media. Google Translate allows easy translations on phones and would be useful for travel. Blogger is easy to set up and customize, and recommended for friends who blog. Gmail is checked daily and used to send various file types, conveniently accessed on phones. Flickr securely stores photos privately shared with friends and family. Twitter is disliked for unnecessary sharing of daily activities and celebrity news. Delicious and bookmarks are seen as unnecessary due to Google tracking bookmarks.

Convenient –I can post from my cellphone, IPad, or any
computer
Straightforward–Easy to get started and start finding friends.
Entertaining –I can play games, watch movie trailers, look at
pictures or videos my friends and family post.

Google Translate
I found it very easy to
use.
There is an app for a
cellphone, so if I am
away from my
computer I can get a
translation.
I would use this if I
ever went to a foreign
country.

Blogger
I do not like to blog but I found it very easy to
set up.
I liked all the different sites that can be added to
blogger.
I would recommend this site to any of my
friends who like to blog.

Gmail
I check this everyday because all my e-mails
from other sites are redirected here.
I can send videos, pictures, documents, and
letters from here.
I even have it on my phone which is very
convenient because I stay very busy.

Flickr
•
•
I like this site because
I can store all my
photos here.
I do not share my
photos with anyone
that is not my friend
or family.
This site is great
because all your
precious memories are
secure, incase
anything was to
happen to your home
computer.

Twitter
•
•
I am not big on telling
people everything I do
during the day, that is
one reason why I do
not like twitter.
I do not care what
celebrities are doing.
I just do not see the
point of this sit, unless
you want everyone in
the world to know
what you are doing all
the time.

Delicious
•
Google keeps track of
my bookmarks.
Do not see the reason
of having an outside
source to keep track of
my bookmarks.
Do not see a reason to
know how many
people tagged a
specific topic.

Found if very difficult to use, even with the
video I watched before I started using it.
With the free account you do not have a lot of
options to choose from when making or editing
a picture.
My Mac came with a better picture designer and
a lot more options to choose from for free.

Digg
I do not see why it is
important to rate news
articles posted by
other people.
I do not think I could
be bored enough to
read news articles and
vote.
I think peoples time
could be better spent.

Technorati
I do not blog or read
blogs so, I would not
use this site to find
blogs.
This is another site
that people must have
too much time on
there hands and
nothing better to do.
I would rather be
spending time with
my friends and family
than using this site.
