Will Apple's New iPad start a Technological Revolution?
"The last time there was this much excitement about a tablet, it had some commandments written on it." - The Wall St. Journal, Martin Peers, 12.30.09 This was how Steve Jobs began his introduction of the Apple iPad in San Francisco last week.
When you think about an addict, what crosses your mind? A junkie in an alley? An alcoholic? Maybe even Tiger Woods reportedly getting treatment for a "sex addiction." What you might not think about as addictive behavior is something you may be doing at this very moment: staring into your computer screen.
The computer has always been a tool that has been used for advanced thinking. Even from the earlier foundations of computing, it was envisioned that computers would be the way of the future. Today, the use of a computer has become second-nature, and often is the very means by which people function, especially if their jobs depend on it.
Jenni "J-WOWW" Farley went to NYIT
Yes, it's true; Jenni "J-WOWW" Farley went to NYIT. But, what was she doing here, when her life seems to be so out of control on the hit MTV reality TV show, Jersey Shore? Surely she must have been a "party girl" and did nothing but slack off and chug rivers of alcohol.
Understanding Millennials
At the start of this year I had no idea who Neil Howe was, but he sure knows a lot about me—and people like me. He calls us Millennials, which are people born in the year 1982 or later. He’s given speeches and wrote books on the topic of us Millennials, in which he demonstrates his point that we’re confident, yet sheltered and pressured to do well.

Despite high aspirations, students find themselves consumed with the stress of employment and debt.
There is a well-known catch-22 regarding employment: the simple fact that in order to get a job, you must have experience, but in order to get experience, you must get a job. And if you're a student, you might not have either a job or experience. How does one fill that void? Some students obtain internships, though most internships simply do not pay.
On November 18th, the "Writer's Round-up", an annual event in Professor John Hanc's graduate journalism class, welcomed a panel of five professional writers, all of them successful NYIT alumni.

NYIT Students Reflect on Relationships with Their Parents
It has been long accepted that the new generation will almost inevitably disagree, argue, and fight with their parents over their way of life. It's nothing new, and those very parents can even "agree to disagree", knowing that there will be differences in perception, morals, and interests.
Ring. Ring. It's 3 A.M. and the phone of an ordinary suburban house is ringing off the hook. In a panic, the woman of the house jumps out of bed to answer it. She lets out a sleepy hello and is instantly awakened by the bustling noise of police radios, sirens and horns sounding off in the background.
As the weather changes, we cannot help but to be reminded of flu season. Many dread this time of year, as the temperature starts to drop and we get sick. Whether it is a small cough, cold, or allergies, it all produces the same result--it makes us miserable people.
