I've learned about the life of a star in my "Survey of the Universe" class. I've talked about social justice in Spanish with my professor. I've even analyzed my own DNA in a biology freshman seminar. One of the reasons that I flew 9,000 miles to the opposite hemisphere to attend university was that I wanted to be able to take classes about everything. But by the time I finished freshman year, I realized Penn had gone overboard with the quantity of general education requirements, sacrificing the quality of the major in the process.
Penn's liberal arts education, and the general ubiquity of liberal arts curriculums across the United States, is a point of pride for the country's education system. Not only do students get exposed to more topics in order to more effectively choose a major, but they also become well-rounded, contributing citizens.
The list of goes on. So it is a disappointment that internationally, most nations force students to know what to study from the get-go and limit chances for non-major courses.
For example, in my home country of New Zealand, if I were a candidate for a Bachelor's of Arts at the University of Auckland, I would to take two general education classes outside of the degree. What if I couldn't decide between astronomy, jazz performance and chemistry? Sorry, they'd say, you have to pick two. Most other degrees are even more restrictive than the B.A.
But at Penn, we see the opposite extreme. The same B.A. usually entails taking 12 classes for the major and a staggering 20 courses in general education or electives.
Twenty out of 32 classes are unrelated to the major. The College of Arts and Sciences has good pedagogical intentions, but to only spend 37 percent of college learning about a passion that will lead to a lifelong career is completely unbalanced. The sheer number of non-major related requirements compromises the quality of the major. The College must require fewer electives and instead use the space for more adequate development of each major.
Why study a single major in depth? Because, to obtain only a surface-level understanding of a particular concentration in college warrants the pursuit of further education. By following the current curriculum, Penn forgets that many students do not have the opportunity to attend graduate school. For many reasons, not all students can or wish to continue studying. The undergraduate level should aim to extend students beyond basic understanding. It should not be left up to "professional school" for students to thrive professionally. An egalitarian-thinking institute of higher education should recognize this.
Aside from the general education qualms, the current structure (or lack thereof) within each major also requires substantial revision. For many social science and humanities majors, there is no required progression of courses as freshmen move up classes. For example, in the political science major, courses are mostly free reign. Students choose whichever classes they want, without restrictions of prerequisites or necessary prior knowledge.
Without prerequisite requirements, there is no foundation. You would never build a house roof-first, and you would never learn advanced concepts before foundational. Without a carefully planned multi-step process, students end up gaining random pockets of knowledge here and there, as opposed to a well-rounded and sturdy education.
Although the University of Auckland can learn from Penn's Sectors and Foundational Approaches, its major requirements constitute a model Penn must consider. Students must take "Stage 1" courses before progressing to "Stage 2." A sequential order of courses ensures students learn the most important fundamentals before specializing in topics of their choice.
The necessary step is to mandate a progression of courses, as international universities do. Seniors won't take the same classes as freshmen. Foundations will be constructed and built upon. Graduates will have a solid grasp of the subject, and not merely tidbits of knowledge.
With mutual learning, universities all over the world will hopefully be able to strike a balance between courses for majors and general education. While currently international universities are not doing enough for liberal arts education, Penn must watch out that it is not veering dangerously towards the other extreme of the spectrum.

Being from Scotland I am somewhat spoiled when it comes to castles given that Scotland has some of the most beautiful castles I have seen before. However as our trip continued we traveled to Osaka and a visit to Osaka Castle.
The Castle is one of the most famous in Japan, however I was quite surprised at how small it was! However for what it lacks in size it more than makes up for it in beauty. Coming off the subway you arrive right at the entrance of the Castle's park. The park is beautiful and full to the brim of every kind of dog you can imagine…. many in fancier outfits than what I had on!! The park was really nice just to walk around in the morning sun and take in the sites. It wasn't long before the castle came into view. The castle sits high up on a hill on top of a massive mound of rocks which if you took them away would leave it very small…. it is not your typical kind of castle… looks almost more like a palace.
As we walked up we decided that we might as well go in, walking into the castle we decided to walk up the eight flights of stairs rather than get the lift. The inside of the castle has all been renovated and stripped of what it used to look like, instead it is more of a museum. It would be interesting if this was a side part to the castle as I was expecting to see what the castle looked like back in its heyday! What we got instead was pictures on the walls in glass cases and the whole place given a super ultra modern feel. All of the 8 floors was like this and I couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed. The view from the top was very pretty if not incredibly busy!
The highlight of the castle however was on the first floor where for 300 yen (about $3) you could dress up as a samurai including the swords, robes and impressive hats! Andy and I mucked about pulling funny poses and faces while the lady snapped away and within a minute the quite table was packed with people wanting their pictures taken as well… just call us rent a mob! I had read before hand that the park with views of the castle was just as impressive and I actually have to agree. Beautiful on the outside but stripped on the inside of its character.
We left the castle and made our way to Shitennō-ji temple, one of the oldest temples in Japan founded in 593. We spent our time walking around the temple and I was surprised how busy it was! It was packed with people all making prayers. It was a very beautiful and also strangely peaceful despite the crowds.
We took off and headed to Namba, the main shopping district as I was in search of a new phone! The shopping in Japan I can only describe as what it is like to shop on Christmas Eve when the shops have been closed for a month before hand! It was crazy! There were so many people that to just try to cross the street was a mission in its self!
Needless to say I didn't find a phone that could be used out with Japan but we did see hundreds of Game card shops, and not for little kids but for grown adults. I am not sure how you play them (or if you just collect them?) However they sell all these different cards with characters on and the shops were full of adults trying to increase their collection. Was strange! Along with the card shops there were comic book shops full of 'Anime' (Japanese animation) with huge posters of the female (cartoon) characters down the entire length of the building… now I am not talking about a tiny store but a multi-level store full of comics, games, dolls and all sorts of things! Walking down the street we also bumped into loads of cos-play girls (Girls in costume) trying to get you to come into their store to buy coffee… I think!! Was quite a strange experience!
With sore feet (and in Andy's case a sore back!) we headed home to refresh to our room which was the size of a double bed (literally!) before heading back out to Dotonburi, the night life area in Osaka. We walked around visiting all different arcades which were EVERYWHERE we went with hundreds of slot machines, claw games and video games. Our favorite one to watch was the dance machine (which is more hi-tech than I remember!) and watched as one guy showed us just how serious gaming can get with an impressive array of dance moves in time to the music!! Watch the video below… Kudos to him!
We set out on a quest to find Space Station… a bar ranked number 2 on trip advisors of places to visit in Osaka and it took us about an hour to find it!! Just as we were about to give up we saw the sign in a street we had overlooked.
This is a cool place. It is a small bar owned by an American who had collected hundreds of games for all different computers such as the Nintendo, N64 and X-box along with other ones that I didn't know! Andy and I sad drinking cocktails while playing the Super Mario brothers I remember playing when I was tiny with my brother. Was quite nostalgic! We played all different games on all different consoles and let of some steam after a day of walking and the days trip to Hiroshima. Was a cool way to finish the day ready for Universal Studios the next day!!

Pack and deploy NuGet packages with PowerShell
Table of Contents
- NuGet Command Line Tool must be installed and accessible through
%PATH%environment variable
- PowerShell - for supplied scripting examples, but Batch prompt can also be used
NuGet specification for project(s)
In order to make project visible to NuGet packager it is necessary to have
*.nuspec file created side by side with
*.csproj file. File names should be aligned as well, such that if project file name is
Logging.csproj then NuGet specification file should be named
Let's assume that Logging project is dependent on another project in the solution called Core as well as on third party library, NLog. NuGet specification for such project will look like following:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<package xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/packaging/2010/07/nuspec.xsd">
<tags>logging nlog</tags>
<dependency id="Core" version="$version$" />
<dependency id="NLog" version="220.127.116.11" />
Important things to note here are placeholder variables like \(id\), \(version\), \(author\), etc. Values for these placeholders will be extracted from assembly information for Logging project by NuGet during packaging process in runtime.
Such NuGet specification files should be produced for each and every project in your solution that you would like to pack and deploy to NuGet repository.
You could find more detailed information on Nuspec Reference.
Packing and Deploying NuGet Packages
The gist of NuGet packing process is very simple:
- Build your solution in Debug or Release mode
- Run NuGet.exe against project files with NuGet specification enabled
In order to submit single package to a repository the following command can be issued:
NuGet pack "Logging.csproj" `
-Properties "Configuration=Release" `
-o "C:/Path/To/Local/Repository"
In order to submit all the configured NuGet packages to a repository some scripting might be handy. The following powershell script executed from the folder holding solution file, should pack and deploy all the NuGet packages in your solution:
# Define some parameters
$TargetPath = "C:/Path/To/Local/Repository"
$BuildConfiguration = "Release"
# Find all the *.nuspec files and deliberately omit NuGet packages
$specs = @(Get-ChildItem "./" -Filter "*.nuspec" -Recurse | `
? { $PSItem.FullName -inotmatch "\\packages\\" } | `
% { $PSItem.FullName } `
# Find relevant *.csproj files
foreach ($spec in $specs) {
$folder = $(Split-Path $spec -Parent)
$prjs = @(Get-ChildItem $folder -Filter "*.csproj" | % { $PSItem.FullName } )
if ($prjs.Count -gt 0) {
$prj = @($prjs)[0]
NuGet pack "$prj" `
-Properties "Configuration=$BuildConfiguration" `
-o "$TargetPath"

The first of what will likely be a truckload of honors for Cam Newton this season rolled in on Thursday, as he was named the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Month for September. Hands down, the top rookie in the league over the first 3 weeks of the season. This just in: Newton is good. At least as good as advertised, if not better. Congrats to him, and the rest of the offense for getting him some run.
Panthers facing Chicago in week 4, and this one promises to be a good one. If Carolina has done nothing else, they have shown that they will compete until the gun sounds at the end of the 4th quarter. They were finally rewarded with a win against Jacksonville, and Carolina hopes it can be cyclical.
Back to the previous blog post--I stand by my prediction, the Panthers could have blown the Jaguars up, had it not been for a monsoon. It was like the storm cloud floated to the stadium, saw the game, and decided it would be fun to watch. Jacksonville's lone touchdown came during the driving rain in the 2nd quarter. Give Blaine Gabbert credit for being able to make that throw in that soup. Head Coach Ron Rivera would later say his team needed to defend that kind of play better.
When it comes to Chicago, stopping Matt Forte will be key, and keeping Jay Cutler uncomfortable will also be paramount. Offensively, Carolina has to contend with Julius Peppers up front, which is an all day job. Look for the Panthers to allow Peppers to over-pursue, and try to hurt Chicago with dump-offs to running backs.
Carolina also has to pay particularly close attention in special teams with Devin Hester returning punts. Makes for a long afternoon if you have to punt to Hester all afternoon, but keep this in mind: the Panthers have proven they can move the football, and if they are able to do that, run the clock to their advantage, Carolina has as good a chance as any to win this one.
Having to make a prediction: Give me Carolina 20-17 over Chicago.
Quick NASCAR hit, can anyone stop Tony Stewart? He's won both races to start the Chase, has the points lead, after starting off tied for 9th with 2000 points (all Chase drivers started with 2000 points, with 3 points added per regular season win). Heading into Dover, Stewart leads by just 7 points, but with the new system, 7 is nice. Not comfortable, but nice. Dover will be a key race in the Chase, but the true wildcard in the playoffs will come in Talladega, the week after the series runs at Charlotte.
Race prediction: This is the week the #48 teams gets on track to make a run at title number 6. Give me Jimmie Johnson on the Monster Mile.

Tokyo, Jan. 31 (Jiji Press)—Japan's National Center for Child Health and Development said Tuesday that it has started joint research into babies' growth, development and habits utilizing big data on child-rearing acquired through a smartphone application.
The center will analyze data on over 100,000 babies, including sleep lengths and the number of defecations, to find out how babies' growth progress over time and differ among individuals and to identify relations between specific habits and growth.
The results of the research will be used to detect diseases early and provide information to parents to help remove their anxieties over child-rearing.
The app, developed by Tokyo-based information technology company First Ascent, has been downloaded by more than 170,000 users since its launch in September 2013.
According to the center, there has been no survey on babies' lives in Japan except for the one conducted by the health ministry every 10 years. Elsewhere in the world, no large-scale research into babies' lives can be found, the center also said.

Smalltown Poets burst onto the Christian music scene with their Grammy-nominated self-titled debut on Ardent/Forefront (EMI) in 1997 and released two more albums with the Memphis based label. Three number one singles and a total of ten top ten radio hits helped garner two Best Rock Gospel Grammy nominations, seven Dove Award nominations (including best new artist) and a Billboard Music video award for the band. Their song Anything Genuine was featured on the platinum selling WOW 1999 compilation. In 2004 the band released It's Later Than It's Ever Been on BEC(EMI). The guys ended a 7-year hiatus from touring and recording in 2011. Over a year in the making, Smalltown Poets Christmas was released November 1st of that year, with their single "Good Christian Men Rejoice" reaching Billboard's Top 30 songs on Christian radio. Since its release, the band has performed dozens of Christmas concerts across the U.S., in places like Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Portland, Charlotte, Dallas, and many more. They followed up Smalltown Poets Christmas by releasing a 7-song EP in the fall of 2012 titled "Under the New Sun," a collection of new songs and older compositions that had never actually been put onto an album. In the summer of 2014, all 5 of the original band members traveled to Atlanta, GA. to work on a new Christmas project, titled "Christmas Time Again" which was released November 25, 2014. "Through the miracles of modern technology and recording, we have been able to continue creating music as a band, even though the 5 of us all live in different cities across the country," states Michael Johnston, lead vocalist. "This opportunity to all come back together to record has been an amazing experience. It felt a lot like coming home."

I finished my first time-lapse video recording! Buuuut, yes, just the recording at this point. I am editing it tonight and should be posting it tomorrow morning. At least, that is the plan. AND MY PLANS ARE OFTEN FOILED!!! (Why do I hear a malicious voice in my head as I wrote that with a muahahahaha sounding?)
But, let's talk about how it went, so you can learn some about, well, how it went.
How did the process go?
Not bad at all. I think the set up worked for what it was, but it wasn't the most efficient. As you will see in the video, I used scotch tape to hold the lens in place. (Gotta do whatcha gotta do.) I sketched my design onto my acrylic pad, turned on the camera and away I painted.
Things to avoid next time?
1. I used the natural light for the painting, but I wasn't thinking about how fast the light was going to fall down and fade out between 4:45 to 7:35 p.m. I changed the ISO quite a few times, but that just meant clips went darker than lighter and then darker, and well, you get the picture.
2. I was using a DSLR camera, which brings a great quality, but other issues. One, a DSLR only records for 12 mins per recording session, so I had to check the time constantly. Two, if the camera got unhappy for any reason, it would stop filming without warning and unless I looked up, I would never know.
3. Watch your hands. Well, my hands. I need to make sure that I paint slightly to the side or maybe film from another angle to show more of the painting and less of my hand.
4. STRESS. I kept stressing about so much of the little things…mostly about the above-mentioned. I need a set up that makes it easier to just paint and not worry about anything else.
Final Words
I am very excited to get the video together. I even added a bit of me too.
What? Me on camera? Yup. I really enjoyed it actually. Well, until tomorrow. Of course, without the "muahahahaha".
Until then, Enjoy. And…video?

Redwood Falls Gazette
May 17, 2008
Sean Bloomfield (left) and Colton Witte paddle the Minnesota River north of Delhi.
An upstream battle
High school seniors making way to Hudson Bay
Staff Writer
Colton Witte's cell phone voice mail message
says it
"Hey, I'm paddling right now – I'll call you back
I get a chance."
The 18-year-old Chaska High School graduate
best friend, Sean Bloomfield, are on the
adventure of
their lives.
The two are attempting to canoe from Minneapolis to
the arctic waters of Hudson Bay.
Witte and Bloomfield began their journey up the
Minnesota River in the early morning hours of April 28
as snowflakes pelted their faces.
"They called about noon, said they were cold and
wanted to be picked up," joked Colton's mother, Kathy.
The young men passed through Redwood County this
past Friday.
They paused near the granite outcroppings of the
river near Delhi to reflect on the first 220 miles of their
2,250-mile endeavor.
Redwood Falls Mayor Gary Revier presented both
sunburned paddlers with "keys to the city."
"What a pleasure it was to meet and chat with you
two," Revier said before their trip resumed. "You are an
inspiration to people young and old alike."
Inspiration for the trip evolved from the book
"Canoeing with the Cree," which was written by the late
Minnesota newsman Eric Sevareid.
Sevareid wrote the story after he and fellow teenager
Walter Port made the trek in 1930.
Both Bloomfield and Witte read the book when they
were in seventh grade.
"The book really got us started thinking about how neat
it would be to do the same thing," Bloomfield said. "This
has been our dream forever.
"It just started coming together over the last couple of
The journey did not start well for Witte.
He stopped by a fast-food restaurant for a breakfast
sandwich prior to going to the launch site.
"I didn't feel well for about a week after that," he said. "I
threw up after the first bite of dinner – the very first dinner
of the trip – and about 25 times after that. I think it was food
"I got dehydrated and ended up in the hospital in St.
Peter, hooked up to an IV and everything for two days.
They pumped fluids into me and all that fun stuff."
The photo gallery on their Web site (www.colton-seanhudsonbay.com) proclaims Go Big or Go Home!
There were early thoughts of turning around and paddling down river back home.
"When I was sick, I was starting to doubt a little bit," Witte
said. "Just that it was already so early and things were
going wrong. But, things are looking up."
The two are using Department of Natural Resources
paddle route maps, something Sevareid and Port never
had available. They also have Witte's cell phone – service
was spotty on the Minnesota River – and a Global
Positioning System, so relatives can track their progress.
The two are averaging 20 miles per day. They have
planned three more layover days in their goal to reach
Hudson Bay by the end of June.
"We go to bed about dark and wake up at 7 (a.m.), so
we get a lot of sleep," Bloomfield said. "It has been kind of
demoralizing when you think (traveling) 20 miles is considered to have been a good day. You look at the
see things moving faster downstream than we're moving
upstream – we're literally just crawling – and you're working your tails off 10, 11 hours a day… Flat water
will be
Both Bloomfield and Witte were introduced to canoeing
as children by their fathers. They practiced for this trip last
year by canoeing the 400 miles from Lake of the Woods to
Lake Superior.
"We had lunch with the (Canadian) Mounties one day,"
Witte said. "That was pretty cool.
"One of the best parts of the trips we have taken is all the
people you meet and the cultures you see."
Witte and Bloomfield have been welcomed in nearly
every community they have stopped. While in New Ulm,
they were invited to have a meal and a warm place to stay.
"We were just standing along side of the road, when
someone stopped and asked if we wanted to go any
where," Bloomfield said. "They took us to Turner Hall.
"They treated us like family there – they let us walk
around in our socks."
The teens were employed to do filing at the club to pay
for their meals and stayed in New Ulm during the stormy
weather of early last week.
"We paddle through rain, but it's not too smart to be on
the water when it is lightning out," Witte said. "And it's no
fun to be in a tent when there's hail (in the forecast)."
Added Bloomfield: "Normally we don't take too many
bathroom breaks, but yesterday (Thursday) I had to stop
quite a few times after all that food in New Ulm."
The two switch positions in the canoe at lunch every day.
"One person does afternoon in the back and then does
the same the next morning," Bloomfield said. "You're never
doing a whole day in one position."
Added Witte: "On occasion, on my forward stroke, I
spray water, so I've gotten Sean wet a couple of times.
Nothing too serious, though.
"And we'll run into a tree once in a while trying to cut a
"I like to cut corners, especially with the water being so
Continued Bloomfield: "We don't really do things too professionally, but we get the job done.
"We've been friends since first grade, so we know each
other pretty well. You have to be friends with someone to
be able to spend weeks in a canoe with them."
There is no doubt Witte and Bloomfield are determined
– they both took accelerated classes so they could gradu
ate six weeks early to begin their adventure.
They also have a mischievous side.
On their final day of high school, they dropped 500 crickets from a balcony into the school's commons area.
"There are about 1,000 kids who stand under there, so
we dropped the crickets off the balcony as kind of our final
senior prank," Witte said. "There were people screaming
and stepping on crickets everywhere.
"The school didn't really think too much of it. We were
taken into the office. Oddly enough, the officer said he was
going to stop us from getting publicity as our punishment."
Bloomfield is planning to attend the University of
Minnesota-Mankato in the fall. He wants to become either
a psychology teacher or writer.
"A publisher actually contacted me two days before we
left," he said. "He actually called me during prom. He's connected with publishers around Minnesota and
said he
would be interested in talking to us at the end of the trip.
"No matter how tired I am at the end of the day, I still
keep track of everything in my journal."
Witte is looking at the University of Iowa for pre-med.
The "Bloomitte Expedition" reached Granite Falls
Saturday. They were paddling across Lac qui Parle Lake
"We really appreciate all the support the boys have
received," said Colton's father, Dan. "A complete stranger
came up to them in Granite Falls and handed them each
"The wind was blowing so hard on Lac qui Parle, they
weren't making much progress. About halfway across the
lake, they saw a sign that said, 'Sean and Colton, if you are
hungry stop in.'
"So, they pulled into the resort, ate and had a place to
pitch their tent."
The goal is to reach Big Stone Lake by this weekend,
and then the adventure heads up the Red River of the
North, which flows into Lake Winnipeg.
"Once they get past Winnipeg, it gets pretty sparse,"
Dan Witte said. "Norway House is the last major settlement.
"After that, it's about a 500-mile jaunt through the wilderness.
"I spoke with a female Mountie yesterday and she said
they are having a late spring.
"I guess there is still a foot of snow on the ground and
three feet of ice on the river north of Winnipeg.
"And there's still bears around. On good years, the bears
head north, but there's still some stragglers. The boys have
bear spray, but the Mountie said she would check into getting them something to defend themselves."
The final destination is York Factory, Manitoba, where
the parents are trying to arrange transportation for the trip
back to Chaska.
"Early on, it felt like we bit off a big chunk, but we're starting to get over that," Colton said Friday before
Vicksburg Park in Renville County. "It's not really an option
for us to quit now."

If you follow my twitter you can see that it was a puddle of Coldplay love queef last week when I went to see their Mylo Xlyoto concert in Montreal. I've been a Coldplay nut since their first album Parachutes. Perhaps in a subconscious level I can relate to "and it was all yellow"- Aww, no one ever writes about being Asian! I kid. The lyrics to that song doesn't really make sense if you read into it. Either way, I jumped, screamed, danced, and even teared a bit. It was the best concert I've been to and worth every penny and traffic jam.

Moto Morini drop the price of the 9 ½ to compete with the other European muscle bikes
Moto Morini have announced a price reduction of £1,000($1,930) on its 1200cc 9 ½ V-twin as part of a Europe-wide strategy to establish a solid customer base for its exclusive new range of motorcycles from the legendary Italian brand.
With the OTR price now at £7,499($14,495), down from £8,499($16,430), the Morini 9 ½ is significantly less costly than other European muscle bikes, like the Aprilia Tuono, Ducati Monster S4R and Triumph Speed Triple, offering discerning customers the opportunity to on an exclusive motorcycle from a legendary brand as a serious alternative to the current crop. Morini designed the 9 ½ to be an accessible introduction to their stunning 1187 cc Bialbero CorsaCorta engine, created to eat up mile after mile of road with a combination of great performance and comfortable, easy riding.
The engine is in a softer state of tune than the Corsaro, but still produces 117 Hp at 8000 rpm, with 75lb ft of torque at 6,700rpm. It is constructed with great attention to detail - steel trellis frame, oval section swing arm, Brembo brakes, Paioli rear shocks and glorious wheels with steel channel spokes.

A Big Win! New Rules for IL Health Insurance Companies
Gov. Rauner signs ISMS-initiated bill that makes insurance plans more transparent and health care more accessible.
Chicago, IL – Late Friday, Governor Bruce Rauner signed the Network Adequacy and Transparency Act – the NAT Act – ensuring important protections for Illinois patients who have struggled with the "narrowing" of physician networks in Illinois.
The NAT Act, initiated by the Illinois State Medical Society, creates important new protections for patients who purchase state-regulated private health plans. Increasingly, health insurers have been cost cutting by offering plans with extremely limited numbers of in-network physicians and hospitals. The rise of these "narrow network" plans has resulted in a dramatic reduction in access to health care in our state.

Google recently announced it's big push into Augmented Reality via Google Lens.
This brand new technology is called Google Lens, and according to the company, it's a way to use your phone's camera to search for information. Think of it like this: point your camera to a restaurant and you can take a look at all the reviews and pricing information on your phone's screen. Or you can point it to a flower and Google well tell you what kind it is. Point your camera to a book and you can learn all about the author and read a variety of reviews.
"We can give you the right information in a meaningful way." – Sundar Pichai, CEO
Google isn't the first tech company to jump into the AR world; Snapchat was the first to create fun little AR face stickers that made you vomit rainbows or transform yourself into a partial dog. Facebook and Instagram were quick to follow suit. Sure, this sort of augmented reality brought smiles to our faces but Google is the first tech company to approach AR in a completely different way: utility.
With Google Lens, your smartphone camera won't just see what you see, but will also understand what you see to help you take action. #io17 pic.twitter.com/viOmWFjqk1
— Google (@Google) May 17, 2017
Being a search engine giant, Google is essentially trying to take its big data and making it 3D. This isn't a huge step for Google, considering it already knows so much about you and the world.
"It's our core mission, accessing the world's information," Gummi Hafsteinsson, product lead for the Assistant, said in an interview, citing Google's mission statement. "Images are just another part of that."
