TECHNOLOGIES REVIEWED:**

2. **Text to Voice**
 * 1. Phone**
 * VOIP (Internet Phone) This is one that will stick around. Drives cost of landline phone calls down.
 * Skype - coming to cell phones. Completely free computer to computer. These is a skype phone that works in internet hot spots - also completely free!
 * [|Google Cellular] - text to Google for information
 * send a text message to 466453 (google) Can provide phone numbers, maps,weather, sports scores, etc.
 * http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/mobile/sms/ for more info
 * [|Simulscribe] - convert your voicemail messages into text. works better than Callwave, but costs money
 * [|Callwave] - Free, doesn't work as well as Simulscribe.


 * 3. A la Carte TV**
 * The days of watching television on someone else's schedule are fading.


 * Movies Kids will take Hi-def for granted. Format war between HD-DVD/Blu-ray is ridiculous. In the end, the Internet may wipe it all out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_high_definition_optical_disc_formats
 * **Audience Created TV -** YouTube ([|http://youtube.com/)], MetaCafe. YouTube was sold after being in exisitance for little over 1 year for over a billion dollars to Google.
 * 2. Wireless**
 * It will seem strange to our children when we discuss the lack of wireless coverage.
 * Phones, laptops, digital cameras, [|wi fi memory cards that automatically upload pics to flickr,] picture frames, wi-fi skype phone
 * Chat terms in class now - ([|http://www.transl8it.com/cgi-win/index.pl?convertPL)]
 * Instant gratification
 * 3. Web 2.0**
 * Websites where we supply the content. Most have a social element to them.
 * MySpace, Flickr, Facebook are exampls. These sites are entirely made of user added content.

Things don't fade away, the splinter off - tv did not replace radio, for example. Consumers are presented with more and more choices.

Any time there's information worth sharing, we can do it.
 * GoLoco, for example, a carpooling site.
 * Prosper - microloans

Give it Time...things will settle down, trust the public!
 * ISSUES:**
 * Interface issues - devices getting smaller, fingers stay the same size.
 * Copyright issues - the lines are hard to define.
 * Teach kids to distinguish between what's real and not real on the Internet.
