Blog Post #200!

By

My how time flies! With your support, Mr. B Ed Tech blog has now reached its 200th post! To mark this occasion, I decided to do a little research on the number 200.

According to Wikipeida: 

Well that may seem like a no-brainer, check out some of these other facts about the number 200.
  • In the field of Technology: 200 is an HTTP status code for successfully connecting to a webpage (such as this one).
  • Again in Technology: One of Intel's first 200mhz processor, the Pentium Pro was introduced on November 1, 1995. To put this in perspective, my iPhone 6 (made in 2014) has 14 times more processing power and my MacBook Pro (2011) has 44 times the processing power.
  • In Monopoly, 200 is the amount of dollars a player gets for passing GO.
  • In Racing, 200 is the number of NASCAR races that legendary driver Richard Petty has won.
  • In Health and Wellness, 200 or lower is the desirable cholesterol number that corresponds to lower risk of heart disease.

Thank you for your continued support!

What will technology look like in 2017?

By
Welcome to 2017! What will 2017 bring, in terms technology? There are many predictions being made about what will happen this year. Here are some of the common predictions for technology of 2017. Virtual Reality will not be as popular as Augmented Reality Trump will have an impact, but what does this mean? 2-in-1 Computers will be on the rise Hackers and Cyber attacks will improve More Smart Devices will be sold (Smart Homes, Cars, Watches, and other devices)  Augmented Reality The common theme of what 2017 will offer, seems to be more of what 2016 offered. Augmented reality was shifted to the forefront of American culture last year as Pokemon Go rose and fell in a short time span. Virtual reality did not get off to the start expected of the "next big thing," in terms of product sales. This has caused some to take pause and re-evaluate virtual reality's future. However, many sources agree that virtual reality is not going away quite yet, if at all.
