About six years ago (back in eighth grade for me), everyone started to hear about a new social website called Facebook. It was the hip place to go to connect with friends on the ever-growing Internet. Most people who signed up to join the site loved it and bragged about it being the future of communication. It did become a giant in the cyber world, with more than one billion active users. But something changed over the last six years that has soured the relationship between Facebook and a multitude of its users — and that change was Facebook itself.
The Internet has given society so much. We can find out whatever information we need, share news with friends in an instant and even keep up with an onslaught of cute animal photos (yeah, we both know you love them too). One of the best aspects of the Internet community is how society combines its offerings to make things possible that could not have occurred without it. The open source community is one of the biggest achievements thus far. Now, you are probably thinking, “how can this open source stuff be such a big advancement, if I have not even heard about it?”

There is always something new happening in the world of technology, from new ways to interact with your car to any sort of other improvements and innovations. Any news in the tech world is intriguing (for me, at least), but sometimes there are stories that just make you go, “. . . Why? Why is that a story? That is so weird!” Especially with April Fool’s Day this week, there were some . . . how can I put it . . . interesting posts. Here are some of the recent articles that caught my eye:
No, I am not reviewing the Smart Car. I am, however, discussing a way to make your car smarter.
SP Weekly sits down with TJ Guerrero, president of the newly formed ASU chapter of the PIKE fraternity, to discuss the fraternity's plans for refining the perception of frat life. A common stereotype holds that frats are just a place for partygoers to congregate, but PIKE intends to replace this old viewpoint with one that revolves around merit and excellence.
I am a huge fan of getting someone a unique gift. It has to be something that shows the relationship between that person and me. But as everyone knows, it can be quite difficult to find that perfect item for a holiday or birthday. Luckily with the Internet, gift options are nearly endless. While I have a couple sites that I rely on for most of my digital spending, there have been a couple that have caught my eye.
Everyone looks for some way to kill time. Maybe you have an hour between classes or the intercampus shuttle to and from the Polytechnic campus is taking longer than usual. Whatever the case, you probably want to use that time to take a break from your work; but what can you do? An option that many techies have taken advantage of (and you can too) is that they play classic videogames on their computers, smartphones and tablets. Yes, you can rock out to some Pokémon Red or Sonic the Hedgehog on the devices in your pocket or backpack.
SP Weekly sits down with State Press Magazine editor in chief, Mary Richardson, who talks about next month's SPM issue, "The Best Of."
Best Buy offers options throughout the entire genre of electronics. Everyone still needs and buys electronics and no new electronics stores have opened . . . so why is Best Buy’s electronics empire crumbling?
Now that spring break is (sadly) over, we have to return from our hideaways and get back into the routine. When you are out for a week, you can miss a lot, especially in the fast-paced technology realm. There were a few topics that caught my attention while everyone was checking in at the beach and catching some rays. One of the big topics was the announcement of the Samsung Galaxy S4.

Google, as a company, is freaking huge. It does everything from developing software, maintaining a highly popular search engine to creating services like Google Fiber, which is a home service that offers ultra-high-speed Internet and television. Many jokingly say that Google is taking over the world; although that is not the case (yet), it has so many different uses available that one could live off of just what Google has to offer. I (involuntarily) tested this theory last week.
Every once in a while, I receive requests to review a website or app on my blog and most of the time, they do not catch my eye. But when I heard from cofounder and CEO, Victor Karkar about his web app, scrible, my interest was piqued. The scrible web app has been available in beta for a little while now and last week they announced scrible Student Edition, geared towards college students. I decided to try out scrible myself and see what it has to offer. Since the Student Edition is brand new, it is not yet available to everyone. Once you have created an account (using your .edu email), you can tell scrible to notify you once these other features are available. Until the Student Edition is activated on your account, you can take advantage of the basic edition. The basic edition is the same as the Student Edition, just missing certain features like citations.

Every college student has a favorite website to browse. Many jump on the social media bandwagon and flock to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (yes, Instagram has a limited way to browse the web). Others take to other sharing sites like Tumblr to kill a few minutes before class. But in the last year or two, Imgur and Reddit have been added to many students’ procrastination lists. What makes websites like these catch on so quickly?
Now that the spring weather is upon us, all of the goodies that come along with spring are here too. One of my favorite things that happens now is hearing about rumors of new technology, specifically smartphones, that will be released in the coming months. There are a few devices that consumers should keep an eye out for next time they upgrade their mobile tech. First on the list is Samsung’s Galaxy S4.

Wednesday was a big day for gaming fans as information about the PlayStation 4 was announced. Sony unveiled a new Dualshock controller, a list of the console’s new specs and new, interesting features, including the future app and the ability to play a game from the console on a PSVita. Following this announcement on Wednesday, a realization hit me: the age of ubiquity with electronics is finally upon us.
