Week #4 - Input and Output

In this week of lecture, we discussed the importance of input and output technology for computers. In my last blog post I mentioned how a sound card was vital to listening to music whether through ear buds, internal speakers, or external speakers. This remains relevant to my Musical Tweeting Idea. Every time someone tweets a new song, your going to want to preview it and without speakers or headphones this would not be possible. We also covered a decent amount of material on Google 411 and Google Wallet. Google 411 utilizes voice recognition to make finding phone numbers and addresses a piece of cake. If voice recognition can be so successful in other areas of the web, why not for Twitter as well?

Since people are always on the go today, if there was a way to update your Twitter through the use of voice recognition on one's cell phone, tweeting and musical tweeting could be made that much easier. All you would have to do is call twitter, wait until the automated voice allows you to speak, say your current musical selection or intended tweet, and watch it appear instantly on your profile. Although voice recognition has a 90-95 accuracy rate, with the way technology is currently progressing I believe in the next few years it will be perfected and something like this would be possible. I believe this is just another way to advance the endless possibilities in store for making Twitter the number one social media site.

Since my Entrepreneurship Idea has turned into multiple updated capabilities for Twitter, I would like to official rename my Project Idea as Twitter+. Twitter+ would be the new and improved Twitter website with Musical Tweeting, Resume Add Option, and Voice Recognition capabilities. The new site would revolutionize the way we think of social media.
