High-Tech Super Bowl


First off let me start off with something related to our IS449 class. This ajax stuff is.... Well I don't really know what to say about it. But I can honestly say that Dr. Drake has been so patient with us because he knows that we are all frustrated with it and I'm sure that most of us were in his office last week very stressed out. It's coming along though slowly but surely. The book though only explains what it needs to explain but I guess that will come with time. I can say though that the portion of the book that I have read and worked through has been ok and I understand whats going on at the time. But anything outside of the book gets me completely lost. Enough of that though, How about those SAINTS! :)

I'm not a big football fan but I tend to enjoy time with my boyfriend and my other guys friends so it's just become something I've "picked up" as a hobby. LOL But I watched the game last night and was on the fence about who I wanted to win because remember, I just started watching football! But my favorite moment was when the Saints went for that two point conversion and GOT IT due to the technology that CBS sports used to record the game. CBS Sports invested in six new high definition, high speed cameras so that fans at home could enjoy the game just like the fans in the stadium.

Cell phone companies also expanded their networks for the night so that cell phone users would not get a jam on their networks. AT&T alone installed three towers and a new antenna in the stadium so that pictures, text messages and emails could be sent efficiently. Another company named Oklahoma city came up with an app for iPhones to help fans and regular people find their car. The app helps you find your car, start it, turn it off and it'll even pop the trunk. I'm sure this helped out a lot of fans. When your on the high of being a fan of super bowl champions I'm sure it's very easy to forget where you parked your car.
