Reflections on Session 2

I am glad to see that we have an imaginative group of students in the class. The diary assignment revealed that! Here are just a few of the creative thoughts that came up:

Laser shower
GPS car-crash avoidance system
Waterless shower
Aero car
Health sensor (just like Bones)
DNA sampling
MP7
Touch TV Screen
Virtual assistant
Retina scan for authorization
Multi-purpose and secure PDA's
Smart kitchen
Holographic ads
Nano-bots
Instant video messagingFred the Robot
Voice Recognition Car
Holographic tables
10 Terabyte PDA's
Quantum servers
Integration across systems
All-Access Device
Wireless entertainment system
Wallpaper TV
Cloned bosses
Computer control by thought
Digital textbooks
GooHoo (Google + Yahoo)
Organic solar panels
Hyper-bikes
100 core processors
OLED
Auto dresser
Cyber-wife
Kitchen digital assistant
Wireless Base Launch
Imbedded RFID chips
3-D holograhics
20-core processor

One of my favorite sayings is "Imagination is more important than Knowledge." Reflect on that statement a few minutes because it is very profound. Without imagination, our society would not have advanced at all.

BTW, that saying came from Al...

P.S. Humor is also important!

Hey Les,
I am truly enjoying the class. All of my previous classes for Undergrad were with UMUC Europe. I would estimate that 99% of the students in my undergrad classes were military. A handful of non-military sprinkled throughout.
The diversity of this class with their various jobs in the industry are just fascinating.
The humor of MISS Rambo sprinkled throughout there to provide a little comic relief is just great! All my posts to MISS Rambo are to "her and to her only." If I offend you, or if you get a note from a classmate, please let me know.

Ciao,
Darryl

PS Madeline humor is just great!

Thanks, Darryl,

I really want learning to be a fun and interesting experience!

You mentioned "Madeline" humor. Think you meant "Maxine"?
