Digi-Walk Your Digi-Talk

The world of technology is expansive, ever-changing and for most - either fascinating or overwhelming. a brief look at what the world of technology has been doing of late and I was again surprised but what I had missed, even when I had been looking.

Not only can you travel online, you can now visit Mars. A new interactive website called 'Be A Martian' invites the public to help scientists execute research like improving maps of Mars. The website was launched by Nasa and Microsoft and clearly takes the standard web surfing to a whole new level.

A quote by Doug McCuistion, the director of Nasa's Mars Exploration Program reads, We are at a point in history where everyone can be an explorer." And not a moment too soon. Users on the site can get involved in a number of research tasks like counting craters. Might be something Jack Hummba would like to explore.
