Want to take screenshots and annotate them so that students will have notes on what happened in class?

Well wait no more, Microsoft offers ZoomIt! With this product you can easily freeze your screen, zoom in or out of an area, place arrows, underline and add captions with a few simple clicks. You can also change the colours of the arrows to green, blue, or red for multiple pointers.  Although this works great with a pen and tablet for your computer, this cool and lightweight product works well with the keyboard and either a trackpad or mouse.

Try it yourself!

As i sit here, somewhat bored, i wonder if anyone has realized the change in the use of computers over the last decade or so. We all started using computers and they were the main source for your word processing tools, some neat games, and being able to do things in a whole new way.

Now we see that people mainly use their computers for the internet. I myself see the first thing i do when i log onto my computer is check my email and then some other things online. If i need more from my computer i will use it appropriately.

This is why i question buying a new high end powerful machine if all we use it for is the primary programs that do not require anything extraordinary?

Another issue that arises is why do we pay for windows and mac OSX if we barely use the operating system? Being a fan of open source technology and a user of ubuntu, i think that we can all take a step back and by a regular machine that runs the very light and efficient ubuntu for our everyday life.

Whats your opinion?
