DJ-ing is very important to music technology because it is one of the most popular ways of getting different types of music and audio technology to places everyone can see. DJ-ing is different from other sound production in the sense that it is more of putting all the pieces of the puzzle together rather than just engineering one specific piece.
From something as quiet as a whisper, to as loud as a concert; sound is everywhere. As many technologies have advanced our capacity to record and edit video, so have audio technologies advanced as well.

One, my stomach growled loud enough for my family to hear it back in California; and two, I jumped from behind my desk and asked where the pie was, and who had
This is not a law of physics nor of nature but an observation about the rate of advancement in computing. “Moore’s law is the observation that, over the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years—this roughly translates into the speed of computing doubling every two years.”
Love exploring? Love travelling? Love photography? Love to see new things? Here’s something that combines all of those: Panoramio is a user-generated collection of images superimposed on a world map, powered by Google Earth. If you’re interested in looking at images of a certain place, just move the map over to that place, and zoom in!
Ever call someone and accidentally hear a conversation between two people you’ve never met, you just happened to tune in to their phone line? As far as I understand it, one of the mechanisms developed to prevent interference or unauthorized connections, especially between devices connected by radio waves, is called frequency hopping.
The future classroom will need to be interactive and engaging, which is exactly what Ubi is bringing to the table. All you need is the Ubi software, Windows 8, a Kinect sensor, and a projector. There aren’t many educational Windows 8 touch apps, so I used Bluestacks with the Ubi in order to gain access to the massive Android app
