The future?
I have this conflicting battle in my head all the time. It's this struggle between living in the moment and following my gut, and planning. I feel that the danger in planning is that we may get stuck on a an unrealistic image of the future. When i started SBU, i planned to graduate and work for a business, now i am going to graduate school for like the rest of my life (6 years, i'm dramatic). But that happened because i followed my gut. If I stuck to my plan i may have really limited my self. If you want to be somewhere, if you are meant to be there, I believe that you will. Conversely, there is this expression that just kills me ..." you don't plan to fail, you fail to plan" . There is definitely truth to this. I guess that the important thing is to always follow your gut, but have a plan to keep you realistic.

that thing
Well, to address the name of this post, I couldn't really think of the correct name so I named it "that thing." I am referring to that thing Professor was doing during the interview today with all the hand motions. It had to do with being able to acquire information essentially instantaneous (in this case it was described as being able to pull up and wipe away information with a quick hand gesture). At first when this idea was proposed to us, I knew that I thought it was ridiculous ( I'm sure a lot of other people felt this way as well.)
But upon further consideration, I quickly realized that maybe this idea is not as far-fetched of a concept as we may think. Sure, the obscure hand gestures may have been a bit much. But other than that, it seems possible, and maybe even expected. Right now, the most popular form of social media is probably twitter. Twitter is basically a status update network where people update their statuses from whereever they want to and everyone who follows them is able to receive this information right away. Basically, it's a real time network.
The idea that was presented to us in class today is pretty much a more technologically advanced, but similar concept as twitter. You have to assume that the way that technology is increasing at an exponential rate nowadays that the idea of being able to view someone's information whenever you want to by simply swiping is not too foreign. In fact, I would venture off to say that people are working on such a technology right now.
