All the web devices you use on a daily basis that you prolly didn't know the actual term for

     I actually considered my self tech-savvy, having acquired a associate's degree in computer information systems. I like to know the big news going on but I don't stay on top of every little thing. I watched a link to a zdnet video: http://news.zdnet.com/2422-13569_22-154425.html which was very intriguing. I watched it a couple of times, writing down any buzz word I haven't heard before, to research them.
      I was completely unaware the web had version numbers. I know software does but hadn't realized I was already using the second version. I've never done blogging before my class assignment, but I can see the attraction of it. I could post a blog on ferret or fish care, as I have extensive knowledge on both. I was unaware of, for example, a restaurant's website with a google maps plug-in was called a mash-up.
      I don't know a person that doesn't use youtube once in a while. I usually use it for music vids, but the other day, I helped my granny find a sewing technique on youtube. The comment section is usually filled with silly information that nobody reads but once in a while you'll find a gem.
     The part of the video where Andy talks about bringing desktop apps to the online world make me think of Picnik.  Picnik is an online photo editing software that is free. I'm an advertising major and that program is a true blessing. Photoshop is nice but it's very very expensive and most of the time I don't need that kind of power. Plus labs are usually locked or busy or loud :(
     I had no idea how Netflix worked, after I looked up the terms from that video, I learned that it is run off a program called Silverlight by Microsoft. I call my self a Mac person but with the Xbox 360 and now this new tidbit, I'm really starting to warm up to them.
      Owning a Mac means you have hurdles PC users don't have. Trying to find legally free software to use can be quite difficult. Picnik, Netflix and Youtube's iterative programming means I don't have to be on a PC to enjoy what I can on my Mac. I can switch back and forth and there are no compatibility issues from it.

I hope you enjoyed a little bit of what I didn't know until now.
