Ford Sync, the in-car and communication service developed by Ford Motor Co., will be adding the ability to update Twitter and stream internet radio to its already impresive list of features.

The company claims that the voice-activated service is safer for drivers than figiting with cellular phones for the same features.

Alan Mulally, the CEO of Ford Motor Co., claims that the service is designed for drivers to chat with their family, update their social networking sites and stream music “all while keeping their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel.”

Although the company is seeking to make driving safer, it, along with other car companies with similar goals, are being criticized because some believe that these technologies are actuallly making driving more distractful for drivers.

In addition to the Sync services, developed by Microsoft, Ford plans on having an LCD dashboard and WiFi in 80% of their cars within the next five years; the dashboard, called MyFord Touch, will allow drivers to control their cars temperature settings and audio.

Ford Motor Co. is also in talks with Google to have their services integrate with the Sync and MyFord Touch in the next couple of years.

The future for technology in cars seems to be heading for a technological overload, but it remains to be seen whether all these new developments will prove to be beneficial or detrimental to drivers. For now, however, drivers continue to gobble up these new technlogical advances and look forward to the upcoming releases for their cars.

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending the Consumer Electronics Show on behalf of a tech news publication known as TechZulu. The talk of the show was 3D. 3D TVs, 3D video games, 3D advertisements.

Given the success of Avatar and its record-breaking two-billion-plus dollar take at the box office, this latest fad is understandable, but stupid.

At CES, I checked out a few of these 3D displays and was underwhelmed. They are neither crisp nor immersive. Why pay a premium for something that is just as enjoyable in 2D as it is in 3D?

Here’s a picture: you and your 10 friends want to watch the latest action film on your big screen, 3D television, but do you have 10 pairs of 3D glasses? No? Guess some are going to be the odd people out.
