Room Reservation systems can be locked till a patron gets texted the "unique" code to be let in during their reservation • A More Data Driven Library • Build analytics based on movement, how frequently does one area of the library get traffic versus the other. Count Patrons entering the door. Endless options.

The Personalized DataLife • Most children have a digital identify before they are born • Data (Information About Us) is being collected more rapidly than before • By our own doing • Checking In, Photos with Geo Tags, Location Based Services, Tweeting, Facebooking, Wearable Technology, Doctor Records accessible online, credit accounts, online stores, etc.
- 94. Personalized Computers • Thecost of a computer is considerably less than what it was years ago. • Computers/Tablets are being designed with a single user in mind; since it is completely customizable and affordable to a specific person • Chromebooks • Windows 8/10:
- 95. Public Computers? • Weneed to think about security of data • Since information about “us” is connected between accounts • Do people want to be using a non-personalized computer? • “I don’t have my apps I use to do what I want” • “I need to see weather/stocks/news on my homepage” – and their information preferences are only saved on their own devices

- 123. NFC Near Field Communication •Allow for (typically smart phones) to communicate to one another in close proximity • Transfer Photos, Contacts, Etc • Uses similar communication technology that RFID uses
- 124.
- 125. Wireless AC • Thelatest and greatest wireless signal • Allows for speeds faster than your typical LAN speed • Able to cover much larger areas
- 126. Z-Wave • Communication “standard”for home automation devices • Low powered, much lower frequencies than wireless / bluetooth • Is used to send small packets of data/instructions • Commonly used for Home Devices. Similar to “ZigBee” yet ZigBee devices aren’t always cross manufacturer compatible.
- 128. Big Data andData Curation
- 129. What’s this talkabout “Big Data” • Technology is being used to identify trends in our lives. This data is being curated and collected. • This can help us with: • Identifying health trends • Saving Time or Energy • Increase efficiency in our lives
- 130. The world's technologicalper-capita capacity to store information has roughly doubled every 40 months since the 1980s;as of 2012, every day 2.5exabytes (2.5×1018) of data were created 1 EB = 1024petabytes = 1million terabytes = 1billion gigabytes. A full 90 percent of all the data in the world has been generated over the last two years

Editor's Notes
- #29 Little rolly ball toy that you can control with your smartphone. You could roll one of these little things up to people you want to engage with—maybe an easier way to approach people than walking up to them. Attracts attention, people want to talk and know about it. A great way to break the ice with kids and teens.
- #87 http://getoku.com/ OKU Pre-order for $249.95, a special discount over the launch price of $299.95. What's in the box: Along with OKU, you will receive a docking station and a special carrying case. Shipping late Spring 2015 to USA / North America and to Europe/Asia in 2016. Not ready to buy yet? Subscribe to our mailing list on http://getoku.com/ and get to know us more! OKU is iOS compatible. Android availability is coming late 2015. (Sorry, Android users, but we'll get a version to you as soon as possible!)
- #115 Tobii Eye X - Eye Tracking software
- #148 The technology is simply a tiny wireless chip and sensor wedged between two pieces of normal contact lens material. The example use case given in the post describes how tough it can be for diabetics to check and manage their glucose levels, and how a smart contact lens could measure glucose through tears once every second and relay that information back to the wearer. Going forward, Google foresees even being able to embed LEDs into these lenses to alert the wearer if a measurement, like glucose, hit a critically low or high level. http://www.androidcentral.com/google-developing-smart-contact-lens-can-measure-glucose-levels-tears
- #149 A group led by Jang-Ung Park recently embedded an inorganic light-emitting diode directly into an off-the-shelf contact lens. They were able to do so by developing a transparent, highly conductive, and flexible mix of graphene and silver nanowires. And after testing these lenses on rabbits — animals with eyes similar to our own — they found no negative effects or irritation. The display was only one pixel across, but it served as a good proof-of-concept. The same sort of technology, once refined and developed further, could result in displays similar to what's being achieved with Glass. This new type of hybrid transparent and stretchable electrode could eventually lead to flexible displays, solar cells, and entirely new kinds of electronic devices.
