Google Reader and my presentation...

Just watched this video on the Google Blog. What amazed me was not what Google Reader can do, but how the G boys totally revolutionized the way of presentation. When I was in college, not too many Profs. used PowerPoint in class. Students had to squint hard to see what the profs were showing. Hand-drawn tables and figures were rarely readable. Math equations? Forget about it! Power Point slides then became the main stream when I started grad school. You had to show cool graphics and animation to catch people's attention.

Now this whole thing is getting so retro. AND I LOVE IT! Next time I present to my boss I'll be bringing in pieces of paper and shove the figures across the table. I won't draw on the table though...

Back to the Google Reader... I don't think it really helps me to absorb information. Things are just piling higher and deeper... Hey, G Boys! Listen! You guys need to ORGANIZE INFORMATION. You need to do some serious clustering or stuff to help the users. Adding some on-line learning algorithm would be a nice way for the Google Reader to know how the user categorize/read things.

Watch the video below. EOF.
