:00:40. > :00:45.for a clip. -- time for Click. I'll an internet connection might be all

:00:45. > :00:54.it takes to get an Ivy League education. A buyer's guide to the

:00:54. > :01:03.latest printers. The latest tech news and we are all ears for you

:01:03. > :01:08.this week in Webscape. What would you do to get into a top

:01:08. > :01:15.university? Plenty of schoolchildren sweat for years to

:01:15. > :01:20.do it, and only a few actually make it. But the internet has a habit of

:01:20. > :01:23.turning the establishment on its head. We have been studying a

:01:24. > :01:33.project in California which is throwing the jaws of education wide

:01:33. > :01:38.open. Stanford University, home to many of America's brightest minds.

:01:38. > :01:43.In the heart of Silicon Valley, it has long served as a breeding

:01:43. > :01:47.ground for technological whiz-kids. Getting in there is no mean feat

:01:47. > :01:55.Cup, only around one in 14 applicants make the grade and then

:01:55. > :02:00.they have to fund it. A four-year education costs $160,000. But there

:02:00. > :02:03.is a way to sample stand the's academic excellence even if you do

:02:03. > :02:08.not have the economic or intellectual prowess to compete

:02:08. > :02:18.with the elite. One Professor from Stanford is on a mission to make a

:02:18. > :02:20.

:02:20. > :02:28.top-notch education available to anyone, anywhere for nothing. This

:02:28. > :02:38.is the University which he built - Udemy. No lecture halls, no

:02:38. > :02:40.

:02:40. > :02:44.professors. -- Udacity. Udemy is a player on the way it audacity,

:02:44. > :02:52.appropriate for a company looking to overhaul higher learning as we

:02:52. > :02:58.know it. Education, the same as university qualifications, to

:02:58. > :03:06.everyone in the world for free. I take issue with an education system

:03:06. > :03:12.that is expensive and exclusive. Students watch tutorials and master

:03:12. > :03:17.concepts by taking frequent quizzes and having homework. The classroom

:03:17. > :03:23.setting is not great for most students, too fast. Rather than

:03:23. > :03:29.taking the time it takes to make a student strong, they give them bad

:03:29. > :03:35.grades, which is discouraging. Udacity goes a case beat which is

:03:35. > :03:40.right for people. And she would expect from a stand that inspired

:03:40. > :03:47.education, the courses are not for the faint-hearted. Five weeks into

:03:47. > :03:52.my course I have done some coding, written some basic programmes but I

:03:52. > :03:57.have also missed dental appointments, gym visits and I am

:03:57. > :04:02.to units behind. I definitely underestimated the time commitment.

:04:02. > :04:08.It is no surprise that the drop-out rate is very steep. But for those

:04:08. > :04:15.who stay the course, a certificate, useful for potential employers, not

:04:15. > :04:21.to mention a wise business move for the company. We are currently

:04:21. > :04:28.working on methods to get to see these two employers. In the

:04:28. > :04:36.classical model it costs more than $1,000. If they were to pay $100

:04:36. > :04:42.for each referral, we would have everything finance. The Professor

:04:42. > :04:52.and his team educate the world from this unassuming studio. Everything

:04:52. > :04:52.

:04:52. > :05:02.goes quite radically. technology is also fairly basic. A

:05:02. > :05:06.pentane that, microphone and video recorder. -- a pen tablet. It

:05:06. > :05:12.allows students to learn at their own pace, making it more effective

:05:12. > :05:18.than a lecture hall. I ask the students a question and wait for

:05:18. > :05:22.each one to get the answer right. In the classroom, the top two or

:05:22. > :05:30.three students reply and that's it and all the other students are left

:05:30. > :05:36.behind. The impact is undeniable. It opened for me the door to a vast

:05:36. > :05:43.amount of knowledge for my research. It has assisted to my research into

:05:43. > :05:52.computer vision. People of all ages in all countries - Bangladesh s,

:05:52. > :05:57.and China, Sudan. People in hospital, single mothers - people

:05:57. > :06:05.who could never afford education. All those people deserve a chance

:06:05. > :06:09.and that is what we stand for. its worldwide reach, it is no

:06:09. > :06:14.surprise that these massive open online courses, or MOOCs, have made

:06:14. > :06:19.in reds. It also acts as a market case where anyone can build them

:06:19. > :06:24.online course, set a price and coasted through the side. The

:06:24. > :06:31.University of Phoenix is even better established, presenting

:06:32. > :06:38.courses with the added promise of accreditation. MIT recently put

:06:38. > :06:43.their first course on MITx, their online learning side. Checkout i

:06:43. > :06:49.tunes University, a showcase for three lectures and other resources

:06:49. > :06:54.in thousands of subject. But how do these two will stack up against

:06:54. > :07:00.traditional education. This educational psychologist sees them

:07:00. > :07:03.as a complement to the classroom, not a replacement. There are also a

:07:03. > :07:10.lot of people not sure what they want to learn, particularly the

:07:10. > :07:20.young. They need more encouragement, more support. More of a sense of

:07:20. > :07:23.belonging to a community. Stanford the students seemed to

:07:23. > :07:31.agree, embracing the idea of online courses but recognising their

:07:31. > :07:36.limitations. I think education is a great thing, so for people to want

:07:36. > :07:42.to take the stand for it causes is great. I have had many friends

:07:42. > :07:48.embracing this idea of on online course accessed from anywhere. I

:07:48. > :07:52.like the idea myself as well. think they should definitely try it.

:07:52. > :08:02.A but just be collecting good data about it and hopefully the right

:08:02. > :08:10.people are studying it. Which is exactly stand third's approach.

:08:10. > :08:16.MOOCs are online, growing and still evolving. We are at the beginning.

:08:16. > :08:23.And there are lots of questions. What are we trying to do, had we

:08:23. > :08:30.serve the world? How do we said our and students? And D we have a

:08:30. > :08:38.strong direction? These programmes are poised to change the education

:08:38. > :08:45.landscape forever. If you are going to lecture to 500 students and not

:08:45. > :08:55.be clear, you have got your competition set-up for you. You'd

:08:55. > :08:57.

:08:57. > :09:00.better bring something else to your game. Reporting from California on

:09:00. > :09:10.the new online by the leak classrooms. Dexter, this week's

:09:10. > :09:12.

:09:12. > :09:17.The court asked the firm to hand over tweets associated with an

:09:17. > :09:21.activist who took part in the Occupy Wall Street protests. The

:09:21. > :09:27.micro-blogging site says that its terms of service make clear that

:09:28. > :09:33.uses only content they produce. A trial has begun in Germany over

:09:33. > :09:38.the head of a video on demand website. Uses accuse the man of

:09:38. > :09:42.breaching copyright laws. The site is now closed but it used to get

:09:42. > :09:47.thousands of visits every day. It comes off the back of last week's

:09:47. > :09:51.High Court ruling in Britain that The Pirate Bay must be blocked by

:09:51. > :09:59.UK internet service providers. Facebook has been busy on the up

:09:59. > :10:05.front. It announced its own App Centre. All are united by the

:10:05. > :10:11.option to look into Facebook. That gives Facebook more data about its

:10:11. > :10:21.user base, allowing ever more tied in ads. Facebook has also snapped

:10:21. > :10:23.

:10:23. > :10:29.up Glancee, a location app. And the professor behind the story

:10:29. > :10:33.we just heard about it does not need to get behind the wheel of his

:10:33. > :10:40.largest -- latest project. Driverless vehicles. The car mashes

:10:41. > :10:48.up Google Street View, sensors and AI Software. The US is even issued

:10:48. > :10:55.a special licence. The first to hit the road will be a souped-up Toyota

:10:55. > :11:01.Prius. I find myself using my desktop PC

:11:01. > :11:06.less and less these days. I do most of my work on a laptop. But when I

:11:06. > :11:09.wanted to print something, I also want to be able to do it straight

:11:09. > :11:16.from one of these. Fortunately, there are plenty of printers around

:11:16. > :11:19.which allow me to do just that and more.

:11:19. > :11:26.Today's printers come with more bells and whistles than the Rio

:11:26. > :11:33.Carnival. But the first thing you need to decide his laser or ink.

:11:33. > :11:43.Laser printers are much faster but more expensive feature for feature.

:11:43. > :11:46.Most home users generally careful ink jet. -- generally go for a chat.

:11:46. > :11:49.The cost to the new Brad Pitt cartridges may be more expensive

:11:49. > :11:55.than the printer itself and if you print teases a single cartridge for

:11:55. > :12:02.colour printing, wants any one, runs out, you have to use the --

:12:02. > :12:07.replace the whole thing. The higher the printer's resolution, the

:12:07. > :12:11.better the end result. If you're planning and printing a lot of

:12:11. > :12:18.photos, choose one with more dots per inch. And to look out for

:12:18. > :12:26.duplex printing for documents which means that both sides of the page

:12:26. > :12:30.will be used. On to more advanced features. Printers have evolved

:12:30. > :12:35.from dumb boxes waiting for instructions to independent

:12:35. > :12:40.thinking machines capable of printing pictures straight from any

:12:40. > :12:44.camera or USB key-ring. The latest crop of printers are even smarter,

:12:44. > :12:51.collect -- connecting to various online services and printing your

:12:51. > :12:55.pictures without ever touching a PC. Wireless printers can talk to

:12:55. > :13:01.several devices on a personal network and print straight from a

:13:01. > :13:07.mobile phone tablet or laptop. On a mobile app will device, this is

:13:07. > :13:12.done through AirPrint, which works with almost no set-up. But it can't

:13:12. > :13:22.print from third party apps. To do this, you will need to install a

:13:22. > :13:24.

:13:24. > :13:29.separate printing out, like Printer Pro. AirPrint does not work on an

:13:29. > :13:37.Apple. To print while Leslie from one of these, you will need to

:13:37. > :13:42.install various drivers. How about commanding your printer from the

:13:42. > :13:45.other side of the world? There are two ways to do this. Something

:13:45. > :13:50.called e-mail to print firstly which means your printer get its

:13:50. > :13:57.own e-mail address. Send it almost anything from almost anywhere and

:13:57. > :14:04.people spit it out for you. -- it will spit it out. And look out for

:14:04. > :14:11.this local of -- logo - Google Cloud Print. This can be linked to

:14:11. > :14:21.tea recount and enable you to print from anywhere. First, register your

:14:21. > :14:23.

:14:23. > :14:27.account on your Printer and a ball played -- print a page with the URL.

:14:27. > :14:32.You can use Google Cloud Print with all the printers as long as it is

:14:32. > :14:42.connected to a computer that is our mind. For now, you can only use

:14:42. > :14:46.

:14:46. > :14:49.this service to the chrome browser -- through the Chrome browser.

:14:49. > :14:53.Thence to the cameras on our mobile phones, we are now snapping more

:14:53. > :14:58.than we used to. And these more diminutive printers can print a

:14:58. > :15:07.mobile picture. You can Dockery I phone on to this one and print

:15:07. > :15:17.instantly. This can then print it comes with 10 gigabytes of Klout

:15:17. > :15:17.

:15:17. > :15:22.space. -- can then print it. It can print a photo in under a minute.

:15:22. > :15:27.The company that invented instant photos over 60 years ago is also in

:15:27. > :15:34.the business. This rechargeable poor road Printer is very light and

:15:34. > :15:38.portable. It can print about 35 for photographs with one full charge.

:15:38. > :15:48.It can connected to any PC while Leslie or to a Barba device which

:15:48. > :15:50.

:15:50. > :15:53.Bluetooth and print using the Polaroid app.

:15:53. > :16:03.The shop's stock a huge range of wireless printers. From small ones

:16:03. > :16:10.to beat one's. -- big ones. If you missed our list of features, go to

:16:10. > :16:17.the website. E-mail might be considered a little

:16:17. > :16:24.old fashioned but it is still very popular. Around 294 billion

:16:24. > :16:29.messages are sent around the world every day. Most of them to my Inbox.

:16:29. > :16:37.Keeping on top of it all can be a struggle. But Kate Russell has

:16:37. > :16:41.found a tool which turned managing your mail into eight-game. -- into

:16:41. > :16:48.any game. I'd like a challenge, but clearing

:16:48. > :16:58.my Inbox is more like torture. That was before I discovered the e-mail

:16:58. > :16:59.

:16:59. > :17:04.game, which tend to e-mail into a Gay interface. -- game like

:17:04. > :17:08.interface. The way you deal with your messages

:17:08. > :17:13.does not change very much. But the time of lens a sense of urgency to

:17:13. > :17:23.the process. There are patches and rewards for performance. You can

:17:23. > :17:28.even compete against to own previous high scores.

:17:28. > :17:33.If you like listening to radio, you will love TuneIn .com, with quick

:17:33. > :17:43.online access to global and local stations covering music, sport,

:17:43. > :17:50.news and current events. With over 50 stations to -- 50,000 stations

:17:50. > :17:56.to choose from, you may not want to leave your desk. Unless you take

:17:56. > :18:00.advantage of the mobile apps. When the first launch it, you will see a

:18:00. > :18:06.message that streaming radio can eat up to 100 megabytes of data per

:18:06. > :18:13.hour. Which could get expensive. You can switch the actor Wi-Fi only

:18:13. > :18:18.mode and then all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the show. They

:18:18. > :18:23.also podcasts queued up were available and you can record your

:18:23. > :18:33.streaming radio while on Wi-Fi to listen to later on. It is a small

:18:33. > :18:34.

:18:34. > :18:37.price to pay for the best of both worlds.

:18:37. > :18:42.If our package about pod casting inspired you to make your own, I

:18:42. > :18:46.have been looking at ways to get it out the world. There are many sites

:18:46. > :18:55.and tools to help to create a feat, but the easiest I have come across

:18:55. > :19:02.is Podbean .com. Publishing on this site is a lot like publishing on

:19:02. > :19:06.any blogging -- blogging platform. But you get automatic options for

:19:06. > :19:10.publishing your work on iTunes. You'll need to have created a

:19:49. > :19:55.the battle of the photo showing apps stepped up a gear with a

:19:55. > :20:00.couple of notable releases. Less than a mont than a monthelling out a

:20:00. > :20:07.billion dollars for Instagram, Facebook has added some filters to
