How has technology changed over the last 5 years Touch screens have been around for a long time, but in the last five years, mass production of effective and easy-to-use screens that respond to multiple-points-of-contact have resulted in costs that are affordable to the end user. They are finding use in a range of personal electronic products, facilitating control of a multitude of devices without sacrificing screen-space for external buttons, and innovating the way in which we interact with electronic systems - especially coupled with accelerometers, magnetometers, visual sensors, gravimeters, GPS, etc., etc. ... In some countries (the UK for instance), new, ultra-fast, low-latency optical fibre networks are being deployed that remove many of the restrictions and bottlenecks that plagued previous systems. On that score, the sheer level of smart, internet-connected technology that consumers have access to is mind-blowing.
Harvard System of Referencing Guide Any in-text reference should include the authorship and the year of the work. Depending on the nature of the sentence/paragraph that is being written, references to sources may be cited in the text as described below: Additional support on how to introduce such references is available from Student Support in their guide.

For more examples, see page numbers section. Smith (1946) and Jones (1948) have both shown ... Directly using an and or
Top Educational Websites For Children That Are Fun There’s something about the phrase “top educational websites for children” that makes my stomach feel ill. It may be because I imagine parents plopping their children in front of a PC and only allowing them to play games that involve solving math problems or answering science questions. The torture! However, I was from a generation where even though I was an “A” student, when I returned home I’d immediately race to the computer and fire up the game Ultima for an evening of medieval adventure. With that said, I do feel that today parents have a far greater selection of fun games or sites that are also educational and won’t bore your poor kid to death. A Brief List of The Top Educational Websites For Children In order to produce a quality list, I started at KidSites, which is sort of the “Google” of children’s websites. #1: The Best Kids Art Website – Metro Museum of Art #2: Top Science Website – NASA #3: Top Website About Nature and Animals #4: Top Website for Early Childhood Development

Here’s an interesting infographic that has been making the rounds across social media for the last two weeks. It visualizes the spectacular rise of the Internet in just 10 years. Another formidable stat is the amount of time people spend online — in 2002, it was only 46 minutes a day (about the time it took to download four songs); in 2012, it’s four hours a day. Also highlighted in the infographic are some companies that have paid a steep price for their unwillingness adapt to the changes: Blockbuster refused numerous offers to buy Netflix and was reluctant to roll out subscription-based membership.

Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) 50 ways life has changed in the last 10 years NEW YORK–Was it only a decade ago that a blackberry was a mere summer fruit?

Google Buzz poses a major privacy risk for kids, analyst (and pa Should parents worry about Google Buzz? Technology analyst Charlene Li thinks so. She says she has counseled her children on how to stay safe online, including not sharing personal information. But the other day she logged into her Google Buzz account only to discover that her 9-year-old daughter had posted a conversation with friends to Buzz without understanding the post was public. "I saw it because Buzz conveniently made me a follower of hers. The blog post's most frightening line: “Imagine parents (and kids) checking out their Buzz accounts to find that 'iorgyinbathrooms' is following them, which is exactly what happened with my child’s account." Li, founder of Altimeter Group, turned off Google Buzz, alerted the parents of her daughter's friends and went into full analyst mode. “First, I discovered that buried in Google’s terms of service somewhere is that children under the age of 13 are not allowed to have Gmail accounts. “Does your child have a Gmail account?
