photo goskywatch-makes-astronomy-fun-and-simple.png

Many people have a love for astronomy, and while some are content with simply gazing at the night sky, others fancy themselves amateur astronomers.  There have been astronomy apps, some already built in to devices such as the iPad, for some time.  These apps may answer our questions and give us a better view of space, but many find it too complex for what they need or desire more features.  GoSkyWatch is an app with many features that make it more fun while keeping it simple enough for a child to use.  It goes beyond merely showing you what you cannot see without a telescope and, unlike most of its kind that rely on a mobile device’s built-in digital compass, the technology works with the accelerometers in tech devices that ensures images on screens are always displayed upright.  Since every phone and tablet has an accelerator, the app works on devices without compasses.

ONE is Simpler Networking for Students

photo one-is-simpler-networking-for-students.jpgSocial networking, including the ability to share any aspect of our lives that we choose to with virtually anybody at any time, is one of the foremost uses of technology and continues to grow rapidly.  Most social media sites have a very broad focus, though some exist based on specific interests or groups of people.  Any communication is up to the user, though, and he or she must meet someone in person first before interacting.  Conversely, ONE is a social network designed for college students that matches them with other students nearby who share the same interests.  It relieves much of the fear of an initial social engagement from those who are not comfortable making an unprepared approach while ensuring that introductions made are more productive.  In its developers’ words, ONE brings the power of online social networking to the real world.
