The RSS looks to be useful because it allows me to find very important information or information that I find interesting by going to just one place, igoogle. Without Igoogle, my time would be used less efficiently if I had to go from website to website looking for information.
Although RSS is efficient for people to use, I highly doubt that I will continue to use RSS. I actually like taking my time to surf from page to page. I have a hard time believing that I would use RSS to get education news too. If I did use RSS it would be for pleasure reading and not for education news.
I already knew what to expect when using this and I just don't find it useful enough to continue to use. I am not doubting that using RSS will save time and bring the information to me, but it is just not a product that appeals to me.

Emergent Technology #2 MonkeyOn
1. Technology Name- Monkey On Your Back
2. Monkey On Your Back is a way to create an online to-do list reminder to other people. When you use Monkey On Your Back you fill out a "monkey" to-do list for someone else and the "monkey" will be sent to the other person's email to remind them of what they must do. The "monkey" will be sent to the person once a week until one week before it is due and then the monkey is sent every other day. If checked properly, Monkey On Your Back is almost a guaranteed way to remember your duties.
3. When I tried out Monkey On Your Back, I found out how easy it was to use. All you need to do is fill out a to-do "monkey" and hit send and the reminder is sent to the person. In order to try this product out, I sent a "monkey" from one of my school email to my personal email. I received the email which just reminded me that I had a job to do and I have the option to "kill the monkey" if I don't feel like I need any further reminders for that duty.
4. Here is a screenshot from Monkey On Your Back.
5. This product is very easy to use and is FREE as long as you use less than 5 active "monkeys" at a time. If you are forget easily or someone you are counting on forgets easily, give Monkey On Your Back a try.
