TECH TIP: Google Cardboard
Looking for an inexpensive, but super fun, stocking stuffer for the techie in your life? Get them the Google Cardboard! I had this around the library last week and students love it! It is a virtual reality viewer. You buy the cardboard device (lots of different options but can be purchased for under $5 at Amazon), download the free apps onto your phone, slide your phone in and explore! The New York Times was also giving out these viewers to some of their subscribers and they have an app that allows you to explore in virtual reality many of the places they cover in their stories.
BOOK TIP: What To Think About Machines That Think by John Brockman
Another great idea for the techie in your life. This is a collection of essays by today's leading scientists, thinkers, and artists. The essayists reflect on technology, artificial intelligence, and the role of machines in our life today. Makes you think.
