Microsoft vs. Freeware

I really do not know at this point.  Everything has been pretty much the same.  If I did have to say anything it would be Microsoft is more structured and complete and Freeware is more unrestricted, I guess it depends on the user or creator.

Technology and Freeware

Google Docs is great for collaborative brainstorming for students and teachers. When the need arises for a Vetch-class that are submitting plans to build a house or a math-class submitting group or individual related formula to a equation. The only disadvantages I see for students and teachers is the lack of physical interaction, in which case I believe every human-being needs. I guess that's what they made the web cam and iphone4 to do.

Wii and Beyond

Clearly the Wii is allowing its users' to connect on a micro-level, but also on a macro-level as well. With all the variation of games the interaction it's user and game is amazing. I do not believe it can have any other functions except what already has been stated by the book.
