What I Want

What I want out of this class.  Honestly, I want to know how it all began and the people responsible.  I want to know where technology has been, and the reasons why it was made the way it was because I hope it would shed some light on where we might go with it.  Moreover, what I want out of this class is a better understanding of how some technology works today, anywhere from the social aspect to the professional, in many different cultures and walks of life.  I would like for this class to teach me, and show me that technology is for everyone and that no matter what, technology can always not only improve the human experience but also how it can diminish it.
All in all, I am interested to see where this class will take me, I'm interested to see where technology goes in the future, and I think that the best way to understand where it is headed is to understand where it has been.  I'm interested to learn in what ways technology has changed society and vice versa.  I would like to believe that technology has the option to solve the majority of the world's problems, not only for the human race but also for everything that inhabits this planet.  I know that technology will be the savior (hopefully) for this planet.

Startup.com

Startup.com a very interesting documentary for sure, it follows two primary founders of a website called govworks.com.  Although there were three founders, the third founder was barely introduced and had very little screen time and was bought out at a very early time of the company for something around $400,000.  Which is insane to me, although he did put in equal amount of time, effort, and money at the beginning of the company.  Interestingly it seemed that he knew what his shares were worth when he was getting bought out, which was a very smart idea on his part, even though he couldn't even sell his shares or stock even if he wanted to because the company wasn't on the public market just yet and was still getting funding from VC's.  Moving on the documentary itself was interesting, it was a good look into what the dot-com bubble was and how so many companies were trying to move into this multibillion-dollar market, in as little time as possible, and how everyone was try
