A Lesson Quickly Learned Via Technology

This morning my son, Jack, asked me if he could see the Panama Canal on a map. Should I get out the atlas and show him? Maybe Wikipedia? There were lots of things we could have done, but I opted to pull out my smart phone. My phone is a Droid with Google’s android OS, but other smart phones or my wife’s touch would have worked as well. A computer could do the trick as well, but that is so last year. Here is what I did:

    1. I turned it on and pressed the maps app.
    2. Pressed the search button
    3. Pressed the voice search button
    4. Spoke the words “Panama Canal”

A Barage of System Problems

The latter half of last week and now early this week, I have just been hit with a lot of system problems and a lot of down time. To sum this up, my Adobe Creative Suite then my Microsoft Office suites stopped working. Both indicated licensing and user access permissions were no longer valid. In fact, my licensing was fine, it just stopped working properly on my system.

I use 3 licensed applications extensively and two of them failed in the same day. Fortunately, all the open source applications I use don’t and probably will never have a similar problem. Just to be fair, I think the Office problem started because of the fixes necessary to get the creative suite working.
