Google Goggles App Review

Google Goggles is a great app for the android and iPhone that enables users to search from their cell phone simply by snapping a photo. This technology currently supports photo-based searching for: books, DVDs, landmarks, logos, contact info, artwork, businesses, products, barcodes, and plain text. This works by capturing the image, which Google breaks down into object-based signatures. It then compares those signatures against every item it can find in its image database. Within seconds, it returns the results to you, ordered by rank. Google inc. created this app in order to enhance its search experience, by offering picture recognition; users are able to search for exactly what they’re looking for. Unfortunately, the search is limited and often lead to inaccurate results.

Verdict: Never the less this is still an exceptional app that offers a better searching tool than anything available on the market. Despite some drawbacks, this app is still highly recommended and deserves a 

4.5/5

According to McCue and Doll (the inventors,) the idea for the application was invented during a brainstorming session between the two, during which they tried to imagine what the web would look like if it were designed from scratch. In result, the couple came up with a design, which placed emphasis on the social web and the ability to consume content in a graphical magazine-like format, which finally was transformed into the multipurpose app. This beautifully designed app won Apple's iPad App of the Year, one of TIME's Top 50 Innovations, the top social app at the 2012 Webby Award and several other awards.

The impact of the radio

The radio owes its success to several important figures such as Henirich Hertz, Nikola Tesla, Ernest Alexanderson, Reginal Fessenden, Edwin Armstron, Guglielmo Marconi and Lee DeFroest. The history of radio can be traced back to the mid 1800s. It involved theory related to electricity and magnetism. Telegraph was the first available technology developed from this discovery although it required wire cables. While the telegraph was mainly limited to transmitting Morse code and printed messages, the invention of the telephone made distant audio communication possible. Despite the fact that the telephone was mostly used for private conversations, there was some experimentation with providing home entertainment. Although the use of radio in the early 1920's were primarily for military purposes, the public soon was introduced to it as it revolutionized entertainment with the introduction of mega networks such as the British Broadcasting Company (BBC).

Today, radio takes many forms, including wireless networks and mobile communications of all types, as well as radio broadcasting. Before the advent of television, commercial radio broadcasts included news and music, but dramas, comedies, variety shows, and many other forms of entertainment. Radio was unique among methods of dramatic presentation in that it used only sound and yet still delivered an immersive method of entertainment.

The impact of the printing press

Johannes Gutenberg

The Printing press is one of the world’s most influential inventions; having a strong impact on society it effectively revolutionized communication around the world. Although early versions of the printing press (movable type) can be traced back to China in the early 11^th century, the technology was not recognized until 1454 where German blacksmith Johannes Gutenberg invented the first printing press. 

 

Early Printing Press

Europe prior to 1454 had an immense illiterate population; only priests and elites where given education, while the majority of the population focused on work. This meant that news and information can only be shared in churches or through one another, this led to biased inaccuracy. Therefore the introduction of the printing press, allowed the vast publication of materials, which allowed the release of literary materials and other readings that awakened the majority of the population. Although this technology was further developed and eventually led to the digital printing of our generation, Gutenberg's invention was primarily designed to publish bibles to the public, since copies during the era where only used by the church. Overall the printing press had an immense impact on society, as the technology spread rapidly across Europe promoting literacy, schools, science and provide information to common people. As more people got exposed to books, some started contradicting the text affecting their perception; this ultimately led to the reformation where the church lost absolute authority.
