Legos for Grownups
Acer recently announced a childhood dream come true. Stackable computer technology. Picture Legos but for grownups. What exactly is this wondrous technology? Exactly what it sounds like, kind of. Acer’s new Revo Build Series is a “modular” PC that regular folk can use to build their own computer by stacking premade components. Users can tailor the machine to their liking, as if your building your own autobot. This allows for continuable improvement called “modularity” which is a growing trend that will allow users an easy way to upgrade their technology.

So a small transaction occurred in 2014 when Google sold Motorola to Lenovo for $2.9 billion. But the catch? Project Era remained under the reigns of Google. The plan calls for modular smartphones. Allowing for phone-lovers everywhere to choose their own components, and upgrade whenever new accessories are available. Users would buy the Project Era device and build away just like Legos.
Pop Quiz
Since it seems modularity isn’t going away in the near future the pure definition might make you seem extra smart. What does it mean exactly? Modularity is the degree to which a system’s components are made up of relatively independent components or parts which can be combined. Huh? In the long term it can make fixing tech bugs a whole lot easier.
Oops I did it again..
We are all familiar with halftime shows not always going as planned and I don’t think I have to say any names. On Monday Kansas State officials took to Twitter to publicly apologize for their band formation. The formation was supposed to depict rival Kansas Jayhawks’s battling the Starship Enterprise from Star Trek. Instead, the Starship resembled male genitalia and the Jayhawk looking as though it was performing fellatio. Yikes.
Folks this can all be avoided by reading a certain book titled What Happens on Campus Stays on Youtube.
