Remote health monitoring is important because health can be monitored whenever and wherever. A monitoring device with a sensor measures data, and can help people with heart conditions and diabetes. Apps that monitor health are becoming increasingly popular.

DNA Medical Institute made a device that helps you test yourself. With a drop of blood it runs many tests to help diagnose diseases and comes with a vital patch that gives readings while the user moves and exercises. It was one of the winners of the Nokia Sensing X-Challenge.

The article I found interesting is titled "How Social Communities Are Changing Online Interaction". I think the idea of social communities is great because you can find communities where you can connect with people that have the same interests, learn, and get help all without sharing personal information. 2 questions I have in general are: How does technology affect children? Does social media really help build relationships?

In Activate, you campaign for one of the four issues they give you in the beginning of the game. You keep doing activities until your movement becomes national. I think kids would learn something from it because it's easy to play and the game doesn't last too long.

A year offline, what I have learned | Paul Miller | TEDxEutropolis (Links to an external site.)

Paul Miller talks about completely quitting the internet, which showed the impact of the internet on the lives of people. He could talk with people on a deeper level and had time to read books and write more. But, he missed out on a lot and couldn't connect with as many people and was extremely bored. He realized that getting off the internet didn't fix his problems but opened up his eyes to what he should be doing.

This wikipedia page is all about computers. There were many users but I found the bot user InternetArchiveBot interesting. It makes edits that would be hard to do manually, but others can also request to use the bot. It saves a lot of the information. It is run by 2 other users, one of which get paid for their efforts. The talk section didn't have that much, but had some ideas for changes.
