Exercise 12 - Current Awareness Post

I have read through the article written by Kathleen Meulen. Technology has reached to every circumstances as because the 3 years old kid also using iPad. This article depicts the scenario that how mobile devices  and app took place everywhere. Author tried to discuss about the feature ao all these applications. Author arranged a comparetive study about Kindle, Pages and keynote. I think the author is amazed with the brief feature of iBook app of apple.

This sort of technologies make life easy. But it has limitations too. Because users are not interested to buy books as they can download it. Its hampering their eye sight, writing and reading quality. According to her observation there is nothing good than a printed book reading rather than an ebook.

It also discussed about the reference category apps. If the librarian make them up to date then it will be a great thing for the libraries.
