WolframAlpha

The population of India to the United States is what I chose to compare using the Wolfram Alpha data base. In India there are-1.21 billion, China-1.35 billion, and the United States- 309 million. The comparative searches for Wolfram Alpha are listed as followed. First, search  Annual births United States vs. India, United States-4.29 million and India-25.6 million. Second, Annual deaths United States vs. India, United States-2.5 million and India 7.37 million.

 

 

 

WolframAlpha introduces a fundamentally new way to get knowledge and answers. This computational knowledge engine is used in all subject areas. It is not a search engine, like google. It provides you with factual information pertaining to your inquiry. As an educator, I think this would be a good resource, because of the explicit results in the information it gives you. For example; if you are trying to compare your school data with that of another State or country, Wolfram Alpha would provides you with that information and in graphs or calculations that fits the individuals needs based on the search.

Gary Hayes Social Media Count




From watching the screen shot which was about two to three minutes long, personally I feel this could be a time when one could take some kind of break or chill pill to relax and come to the realization that about 5 million likes or dislikes, and even comments were probably made on Face book or U-tube.

 

When thinking back I can remember reading in educational journals about how social life styles are gaining more and more recognition throughout social media.  From earlier learning's and even in this class I can clearly see how the world is embracing and rushing into a world of technology for not only the future social media, but also future education. 

 

I know for instance, someone who may have lived 78 years ago would have figured that social media, and technology as a whole was unheard of.  Undoubtedly, they may even see education as a future degree planning with technology as a joke.  When in actuality, many future educators are becoming state holders in the education system from high school,  and extracurricular activities.  Who knows in the near future we may be embracing technology in working coal mines or priest confession rooms.  From dealing with the  technology movement which is not nearly getting ready to slow down any time soon,  I will strongly recommend any young married couple to rear up their children at an early age  on developing a strong sense of technology so they can be ready to embrace the inevitably changing world of technology.
