Fernandes+Ashwin

Ashwin Fernandes The Change camp focuses on personal face to face interaction. The focus I chose was the issue with how the society we live in today is heavily based on the usage of the internet. In this so called information society the ability to use the internet is vital in everyday life, whether it is banking, shopping or even job hunting the internet makes an efficient way of completing tasks. The problem is youth is better equipped with the knowledge and tool set to understand the internet’s capabilities while the older generation and also immigrants who come from countries where internet isn’t readily accessible. This is an important issue because there are many families coming to Canada to look for better opportunities but just can’t adapt to the sophisticated technology that our society realizes on. With the face to face interaction that Change camp focus on we can better knowledge a majority of people that aren’t capable with the tools of understanding the internet.

Ashwin Fernandes Ipad a revolutionary step or not? With media going into frenzy over the newly announced Ipad, me as a consumer just doesn’t think it is all that revolutionary as it claims to be. Sure it has some very unique features but the only standout feature that stuck with me was the apple bookstore something that I do not think the mass media would be sold on as a must buy feature to buy the product. What I think it does is another step forward for apple I see it doing everything more efficient and is presented in a sleek design but what it makes it an innovative step for apple not revolutionary. What apple did to listening to music is revolutionary because it completely changed the way most people listen to music. With the product focusing on E-reading I do not see it changing the way most people read. We will still depend on libraries and bookstores. Maybe unless schools start adopting it while it be revolutionizing reading.
