In a presentation in Dublin, Ireland in March 2010, Google sales chief Jim Haley stated that desktops would be irrelevant in three years (SiliconRepublic.com). Smartphones, notebooks, and the amount of information available online will converge to create a different kind of future than what we’ve known.
I agree with Jim Haley, desktops will end up being irrelevant in three years only do to the fact that our technology is growing rapidly. Smartphones and notepads(Ipads) are now our way of using the internet. Whats the point of having a desktop when you can legit have a "computer" right in your hands! Information available all times at anytime.

Professional and Play Time !
What is a type of application software that you use regularly that is helpful for you personally or professionally?
The application software that I use on a regular basis is Microsoft Word. This is a type of productivity software because it allows you to complete tasks at home for work or school. I can create reports, letters, resumes and much more. Its a word processing software its a very common application used world wide. Three advantages using word are: creating reports for final projects, brainstorming, and moving information from one place to another.I would recommend students using Microsoft Word so they can write reports faster, type letters or notes for presentations or meetings for work or school.

Social Networking and Society
Social networking seems to have taken over our lives! Almost everyone is on Facebook and Twitter. But is this a good thing?
Some advantages and disadvantages that social networking bring to my life is that i can keep intouch with friends from highschool and friends from other states. Disadvantages are my family that i do not talk to trying to contact me when i want nothing to do with them. In todays society social networking can be a positive and a negative thing, people these days dont know who they may be talking to, like pretators. Social networking can get many people introuble but then again is can be great because you can express your feelings and wat maybe going on in your life. Businesses these days bare using social networks as a benefit to get people to loike their such as American Eagle, you can go on there website and like there clothing. it helps boost sales. Social networking in the next two to three years i believe is going to sky rocket only because so many people are involved now adays for so many things.
