Group Presentation 2

My group presented on the last day. Overall I think all the presentations were quite informative. I am really interested in reading the book “Burn Rate” The liked the topics that were covered throughout the book. For example, Face recognition is now getting better as technology progresses.
The book my group presented was “Steal this file sharing book.” Our group picked this book because it talked about the illegal and legal aspects of file sharing. It also shows step by step on how to protect your computer when downloading through file sharing. It gives diagrams on how each file sharing server work.
We decided that we would use PowerPoint to present the topics covered in the book. Then we divided topics covered in the book. Overall I had a fun time meeting the people in my group.

Group Presentation 1

The first group presented the book “Against the Machine, Being Human in the Age of the Electronic Mob. The author Lee Siegel talks about how the internet is re shaping our thoughts about ourselves. The first chapter talks about profit and idealism. This talks about the how the internet is sold modern commerce. The group presenters believed that this author had views that they did not agree with. Also, they looked at the reviews of the books and agree with the views of others. I found this interested because I looked at the reviews for my book and found it to be quite accurate.
The second group presented the book written by Howard Rheingold. The book is called “Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution.” The first presenter talked about texting and that the place he visited was Tokyo, Japan. Tokyo is the world’s most advanced texters and they have texter gangs. The author later talks about computer chips and how it can be embedded into money. A lot of these topics the author is talking about are actually currently being used or still in development.
