week 11 Blog post

From my research there are numerous technologies being used on a daily bases, but what people think will stay and be invasive is Spotify, Apple products, electric skin and drones to stalk the people you don't like or do like. With the news of these products staying I'm both excited and ready crawl in a hole.
Spotify is a music based app that lets you listen to music anytime you want without commercial if you pay for it every month. If you don’t pay for it every month you still have commercials, but at least you don't buy the music. Spotify has been around for a while and is the direct competition with Pandora. According the article Spotify will be around longer than Pandora. Pandora is no different, but it’s also not the newest music app and people like things new. Spotify will hopefully be around for who use the app.I can see this app going far. 
Apple macs are another technology that will last for a long time unless we run out of money. Macs are used in my program and so many others because they are said to work a little better and simpler than dell or hp. The only issue I have with their article saying that Apple will be longer than Hp is the fact the Apple is expensive. Chargers, getting the product fixed, and even where you can go to fix it. I can see them lasting if they lower the price and get more shops were Apple is sold. Apple does have a nice program for those who like system Apple has. As a MarketSource phone rep I can tell you that android users hate Apple and Apple users hate android.  It’s all based on the operating system they are used to and this doesn't go for all phone or computer users they sometimes like switching and prefer the other. Apple does work wonderfully, but I doesn’t work for everyone. I don't know what to think about Apple, but i know it is far from over. 
Electric skin is a new one that is a gold patch that will show your emotions. It mainly advertised to women, but that is probably because men need a handbook for women’s emotions. I think that it will be advertised to men as well because women need a book for them too. It change to show what the person is feeling so it’s basically like a mood ring that goes on your face. It looks cool, but I would never get it. I like to have my emotions known to me and who I chose to share them with. It’s a cool idea for those who don’t care who knows how they are feeling. I don't know if this will go far and I will be surprised if it does. 
The last one I noticed was drones. Drones are like the remote control copters and airplanes. The article said it was a good way to watch the house and even make sure no one on the street is doing anything illegal to someone. The only issue with it is when they use it to stalk people. I would be a little worried because no one wants to be stalked every minute of every day. This isn't a time for big brother to grow up and have monitors everywhere. They are cool and I would get one to fly around and maybe chase the cats or dogs around, but I wouldn't stalk someone with it. If drones do go far there will be a law on book for stalking. 
The technology I have mentioned is what people think will be around till the sun runs out. I personally think no one can know that because no one know what the future holds. I mean for all we know zombies could be eating our brains tomorrow and technology could be done for good. We could be in a “last of us” situation and no one wants to be in that…I would hope. Technology is a tricky thing and who knows what will be created next.
