According to Wikipedia,"Robert Scoble (born January 18, 1965) is an American blogger, technical evangelist, and author. Scoble is best known for his blog, Scobleizer, which came to prominence during his tenure as a technology evangelist at Microsoft. "(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Scoble).It's the first time seeing his name and finding out that he was a famous blogger focusing on the technologies and modern techniques. That aroused my interets of his blogs.
It's amazing that Robert Scoble inserts a video to each blog he posts online.He introduces the latest camera, the magical technology which people use only three iphone to do something amazing, the Crittercism, the new social media,online karaoke and so on.
Instead of talking about some advanced techonologies which could only be understood by some professionals, Robert Scoble introduces some useful and common softwares and techniques that really feed the need of the common people. Like the Singboard Brings Karaoke to the Internet, he focuses on the idea of Singboard which is where Youtube meets Karaoke. People could choose the online songs and
choose from among the top 100 music videos on YouTube. They can play the songs , stop them, replay them. It's just like what people do when they were karaoking. People can just enjoy the karaoke at home! We can see the very positive part of Singboard: we could enjoy the music at home. It saves the money, place and time. And people could still enjoy the music and life.
Furthermore, he would introduce something that we are familiar but with some more functions,like Ipad.In the Tonara: An iPad App for Musicians, he introduces Tonara has developed an iPad app that helps eliminate this burden while providing additional innovative features to assist musicians. "This technology is called acoustic polyphonic score following.....Score following is the ability, given the scores of a certain piece or song and the live performance of this piece, to follow with very high precision the exact location in the score of the performance. Acoustic means that it works with acoustic instruments like the piano or violin. It doesn’t have to have a digital connection....."With this technologies, it means even the beginners can follow. The program would defintely be a tool for people who enjoys the music. In the future, it would even have the function that coule correct people's playing in the future.
I always believe that the spirit of the technologies is to make the life better and more convenient.Maybe some people really focus on the professional knowledges but for me, I really think that people should emphasis more on the technologies that make the life better.
