I Click on This

Sitting in the library blogging?  Mm, yes.  These are the decisions I make.  Why was it so important to blog this right now?  One word. (Or two, depending on who you ask) Iclicker.  Which makes the title of this post so much more clever, don't ya think?  This gizmo (yes, I’m young and use the word gizmo) is becoming my new best bud. Forget the Droid, I’m carrying my iclicker everywhere with me from now on. Going to class? Don’t forget the iclicker. 

I feel like a commercial. 

What’s an iclicker, you ask? Let me educate you.

It’s a handheld wonder filled with brilliance, that sends your intuitive analyses through… something…until they end up looking back at you.

It’s pretty much like a magic 8-ball,…except not at all.  It doesn’t give you answers…it just takes them, which is a shame because being on the receiving end of answers is cool too.  And if you still can’t picture it, let me help out your imagination:

Now I know, I know, you’re probably really insanely jealous of this gadget right about now, but hold your horses.  These things come with a price tag.  And basically you can’t use them unless you're going to go iclicker hog wild.  All negatives, but don’t let these minor issues stop you. 

All joking aside, basically, you can register these iclickers with a system (like, in my case, through Cornell) and use them to answer questions in classes.  The question remains whether you just need to register them through Cornell or through all of your classes...hmm..food for thought. I was forced to get one and apparently will use it frequently throughout my education, so I might as well make the most of it.  When you enter in answers, stats can be played back to you instantaneously.  If the teacher takes a poll, you can click your A-E buttons to reply and Voila! (with the little thingabob over the "a" ...or Presto depending on if you’re thattt person) the computer has already made a chart of the votes before you can remember which option you chose.  Also comes with some colorful lights to tell you when it’s on...Probably the most exciting part. 

<<<Exhibit B of iclicker amazing-ness.  

That's iclicker, specializing in Christina's entertainment since...last week =P   Pretty handy doo-dads. 

So what does being at the library have to do with iclickers? 
Absolutely nothing.
