Window Shopping

Now that the school year is over, it is fun to think about the items that I might like to get over the summer that would make next year easier for me. For instance, one thing that I keep telling myself I am going to look into as each semester ends is some kind of computer software that will allow me to speak and the computer will type what I say. I know such a product exists and they keep making it better but from what I understand, the problem is it takes a long time to train the software to recognize your voice.

I have also toyed with the idea of getting various items and seeing about giving them out to students at the end of the semester. A gift certificate to a restaurant or maybe a bottle of perfume or cologne to the person who is the most improved speaker over the course of the semester would be nice.

I probably won’t do that for a number of reasons including cost, wondering what the student who gets it might think and wondering what the administration might say. Still, I guess right now you could say I am window shopping for next year. I may not get anything, but it is fun to think about the possibilities.
