Emerging Technology Poster and Class Wrap Up

The emerging technology posters were great! It was neat to see all of the different and emerging technologies that are on the market and some that are still being developed. Overall, the technologies represented were really fascinating, and an even better part of the poster presentations was the twitter comments. It was neat to look and see the twitter remarks for each technology that was being presented.

For my personal technology, I will be showing the da Vinci. This is a robot that helps surgeons perform surgeries. It has only been implemented in several hospitals but there are people who have already had surgeries does and who have positive testimonies about their experiences. The da Vinci help doctors be more precise and exact. It is an amazing robot and it is awesome to think of the effects it could have on surgery in the future.

Residence Hall's Got Talent

I am an RA for one of the Residence Halls on Purdue's campus. Currently I am on a team with 5 other indivuduals and we are working to put on a campus wide program called Residence Halls Got Talent. We are starting from the ground up, as this has never been done before, and we are realizing how technology is playing a huge part in making this big idea a reality. We are using BTV, twitter, facebook, emails, etc. to keep our volunteers and participants up to date and to get the word out. It is really amazing to see this transformation happening!
