2. What do you think of the maker movement?

User participation advances as technology advances over time. It has become easier/more affordable to learn how to do things yourself. With youtube you can easily learn how to patch a hole in the wall with a 2 minutes DIY video. This saves the user time and money on top of the personal satisfaction of accomplishing the task by oneself. I think the maker movement will continue to grow with a exponentially increasing population of DIY selfers.

New Microsoft Office 2013 Features

One of the new features of Microsoft Office 13 that caught my eye is used in Microsoft word. Endgaget wrote a beautiful review on this here [ http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/16/microsoft-office-15-preview/ ] Previously when utilizing microsoft word the average user could not easily add video to a microsoft word document. For example if you were writing an essay on the importance of something and wanted to cite the information you garnered from a lecture you would have to include the url. Now you can easily include the lecture itself within your document and the reader can just click play. Microsoft has made Office 13 more user friendly with these small improvements and not to mention new icons!

how I use Excel at work

I use Microsoft Excel at work to calculate my drink prices. I am a bartender and if i want to introduce a new drink at the bar i first have to calculate how much it costs to make it. I input all that information in a spreadsheet nice and clean, then i can calculate the price i can charge for this drink and still make a profit!
