Ok, I am sure your secretary has many perks, but on-the-go updates synced with your life is just too much to ask from a single human being. Today, Google Now is available as a chrome extension, thus completing the full circle in my digital life. I’ve been using the Google Now card system on my phone since I upgraded to Android a year ago (iPhone prior). It notifies me at perfect times when I should be leaving the house, what the latest Red Sox score is, who I am scheduled to meet, and much more timely information. “Timely” is the key word in this statement. The purpose of this product is to get the information precisely when you need it. Five minutes early or late would just not be as useful. Getting information at the RIGHT time is everything Google hopes to accomplish. Semantic Web is Upon Us All your information, all your data, all locked up and there for you to access fluently wherever you may be. This is the semantic web. This is Google Now. This is the future. Based on a card system like the screen shot graphic from www.engadget.com, you can decide what information you want displayed in a simple, concise manner. Tailored based on your internet habits, Google chooses your cards initially and will sync up live to what is occurring in each category. The Future is Not Siri “She” may answer a few questions and she may be able to bring up your flight details. But she is not integrated with your google account and most likely will not let you know the exact time you should be leaving your home to catch the flight. This is the future, the ability to integrate perfectly in your life without ever asking. And that, that is freaking scary. What the Heck is Google Now? I like my Secretary! Google explains it as the right information at the right time. “From knowing the weather before you start your day, to planning the best route to avoid traffic, or even checking your favorite team’s score while they’re playing, Google Now brings you the information you want, when you need it. Google Now works in the background so you don’t have to. Your information is automatically organized into simple cards that appear just when they’re needed. Because Google Now is ready whenever you are, you can spend less time digging and more time living.” From Google Now Landing Page Need support? Straight from the Googles, learn how Google Now, Cards, and Location services work in chrome. Google Now Support Get Google Now for Android & iOS Chrome has just released the extension for Google Now to integrate with your web browser. If you are not already using Google Now on mobile you can download it here. Product Integrations It is expected that this list will be forever expanding, but for the time being Google Now works to give you the right information at just the right time for Flights, Hotels, Events, Travel Sites, Restaurant Reservations, Movies, and Real Estate. Notable companies include, Rotten Tomatoes, Zillow, Stubhub, Booking.com, and a few airlines. Learn more about Google Now Integrations Have you ever used Google Now?

Every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn computer code. I just signed up to support this wonderful organization started by twin brothers in Silicon Valley. They bring up a great point and support a mission that will only become more necessary as we go further into the digital world. Personally I didn’t learn a line of code until after college, but have since become intrigued and now dive into html/css3 for altering WordPress sites. Did you know that 9 out of 10 US K12 schools do not offer computer programming classes? And that Forbes magazine ranked a degree in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon College as the best paying degree in the USA in 2013? There are six ways you can help spread the word about code.org Code.org | Non-profit foundation dedicated to growing computer science education 1) Help us promote computer science education Find out what you can do locally to turn around these shocking statistics. If you’re in the US, support the Computer Science Education Act. 2) Ask your local school to teach computer science Your local school can teach this self-serve intro course, partner with us to bring computer science to your entire district, and inspire students with these videos. Check our map to see if your school teaches computer science, and if not, ask them to. 3) Teach locally as a volunteer Host an Hour of Code or a longer self-serve intro course at a local school or club. Or sign up as a volunteer to hear about mentoring opportunities from local teachers. 4) Buy a t-shirt or hat to spread the word We have some pretty awesome shirts, and 5% of proceeds go to charity. 5) Donate money to Code.org We’re a very lean and mean organization, and we appreciate your help. 6) In the US? Tell Congress that you support the Computer Science Education Act Ask your representatives to support it, too. The members of Tower Agency, Inc. sincerely hope you will spread this philanthropic message, buy a t-shirt or support this movement in whatever way possible. Maybe you can even take a short course at code.org or play one of their fun games. Either way, thanks for reading and have a great day. Infographic by...
