Introducing Google Motion- The Next Step Towards Becoming Robots
The creators of Google introduced a new product they have been working on... Google Motion. What it is you ask? Well basically Google is telling us to become robots. Instead of typing your emails when using Gmail (a Google email system), they have created a new product that types your messages according to your body motion. I will give them the credit of creating a very unique product that is completely out-of-the-box, but I would expect nothing less from Google. However, I just don't think they are using technology the way it should be used. Just because we have been having technology advancements doesn't mean that we need to keep making products that don't benefit us in anyway. How hard is it to type your emails? I'm typing this blog right now, and let me tell ya... I'm doing just fine with my hands. Google says that our bodies haven't evolved to just sit at a stationary position all day typing on a computer. But all you need when writing something or working on a computer is your brain to be able to think. You don't need to use your body to type something. And they also say it's to get more exercise; nice health promotion Google, but it's not gonna help our obese Americans. Not to mention, everyone will have to learn the new "movements' to even be able to write an email. DUMB GOOGLE...DUMB! Although Google has done wonders for me, this Google Motion is unnecessary...and I think we should be using our technology advancements towards better things. Maybe like curing cancer, or helping the people of Japan by rebuilding their towns after the tsunami. But that's just my opinion.

ReplyDeleteThanks! It's fun writing them...kind of a good outlet for me. It's been tough keeping up with two blogs though--my usual one and my one for class. I'm glad I can stop my class one soon!
