On our field trip yesterday I learned a lot about the new and upcoming uses for virtual reality technology. I was very surprised by how interesting it was, and we were only assembling a 3D radio. The idea itself seems very brilliant to me. By having a program where they can create and assemble their products, they can find problems and solve them without having to ever make their product. This way they save large amounts of money by avoiding problems on their finalized products. Also seeing how they did it, it opens up a whole new world of possibilities for gaming and other business uses. I am very eager to see how the technology evolves and is used in the coming years.

Since the start of the class, my online brand has increased its popularity and credibility. I have labeled almost all of my username's with the same username: benbuckleyia. When I google it the first thing that comes up is my google site. It has made it much better because I can mostly control what comes up when people search me.
