Evolution of the Smartphone:


Currently Competing Designs in Education & Healthcare:
- What is the best way to utilize technology in the classroom? iPads or Chromebooks?
- Wearable devices: Apple Watch, FitBit, etc.
- Robotic surgery
- Prosthetics

I predict that the future of wearable devices is tiny, almost invisible devices that seamlessly integrate with your life. You won't even notice them, they'll just provide the data you care about.

Reflections on the iPod introduction video from 2001

Interesting notes from the introduction of the iPod in 2001:

- Steve doesn't show the device until he's done explaining all of the features.
- The biggest emphasis of the keynote is the ultra-portable design, and Steve demonstrates this by pulling iPod out of his pocket at the end.
- There are a lot of comparisons to what was standard in the industry at the time and how iPod blows everything else away.
