The documentary “How William Shatner Changed the World” is about how the movie Star Trek changed the world. The commissioner of the movie is the Discovery Channel Canada and co-produced for the History Channel, but hosted and narrated by William Shatner. Star Trek changed the world because of the technology in the movie. It made people want the technology to actually be invented. Star Trek had a hand in how things are today, with the technology of cell phones, computer desktops, laptops, ipods, ipads, MP3 players and many more devices, from the watch of this one movie. Then the Star Trek:The Second Generation came out and brought even more advances. These movies brought change to everything that involved with technology. Ed Roberts was an American engineer, medical doctor and an entrepreneur who invented the personal computer (PC) in 1975. He is known as the father of the PC. His first successful invention was an electronic calculator, but he first created this 8 inch disk device. After this happened Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak got an idea and created “Apple”. Also Bill Gates created “microsoft” and a software company. The Cyberknife is a robotic system used for treating all kinds of tumors for example malignant tumors and other medical conditions. This system was invented by John R Alder. This cyberknife system is a method of radiotherapy to target treatment more accurately than their regularly radiotherapy. I have learned a lot from this documentary “How William Shatner Changed the World” because I have never knew that the technology we have today is all pretty much from the 2005 film Star Trek. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_William_Shatner_Changed_the_World

Cloud Computing

Last week we watched 3 videos and were asked to pick 3 things that interested us in these videos, the videos are called The World Wide Web, Cloud Computing and Web 2.0 Explained.

The World Wide Web:

1. I think the idea of cloud computing is cool, because if you have no experience it makes it easier to understand.
2. I think It helps people save money, and thats good.
3. I think the internet makes a lot of things easier and it saves people from being stressed out and helps people with some of these problems.

Cloud Computing:

1. Its interesting to see what happens when you publish your picture or save or send it over the internet, its like it goes up in the sky (clouds).
2. It was interesting when you break your computer, you can’t see it anymore but it is still out there somewhere in the sky.
3. I find its interesting how your picture can be anywhere, it could be in France or Paris, anywhere.

Web 2.0 Explained:

1. I found it interesting  that the video did everything so fast.
2. Its interesting how you can do certain things, that i never knew how to before i watched this video.
3. It was interesting how people can make websites and how they can do all those things on the internet.

My video that i picked: Technology in the classroom:Digital Media
