Smartphone

Smart phones, we use smart phones everyday for anything that comes up, a smart phone will have the solution to our problem. The positive effects of smart phones would be you are never out of touch, you will have anybody at a touch of a button. You can call a friend for a homework assignment or your wife to remind her not to cook tonight due to a date we have. Smart phones help with sharing information but not only you share it, you share better with a smart phone. You can just email somebody straight off your phone, or post something on twitter or Facebook. By sharing this way you get the message better than instead of having to hear it from someone who had it pass by other people, you will get it exactly how it is. Another great advantage is
that you will always stay organised if you know how to get the best of your smart phone. You can set up your coming up events on your calendar, also set up reminders, with such technology you will on top of your schedule

On the other side, there is going to be a negative side to all this. With smart phones you do not need to do things that you use to do in person or by hand. Ever since phones came out our society has changed. People talk less in person and text more. We have struggle with face to face communication. Now that we have a smart phone we seem to depend only on the phone and not our brain. Nowadays we let the phone do everything while we just seem to get less accustomed to our capacity we have.  As David would say  “There have been new technology in the past that greatly and permanently changed behavior.” Just like the rest of technology there is always going to be both sides of the picture and just like David said it will always change people’s behavior in this subject.

To sum it up smart phones just as the IPhone and Android are great they can do anything you need them to do they are great for anybody. They fast with a competing app store, who is always trying to have new and cool apps for you, some that you have for entertainment and others for business related work.  Although it is a tight competition according to  Wilson Rothman 
 information he states  that  "Apple has a commanding lead over all other smart phone platforms with 230,000 and counting in the App Store. But Google's Android platform now claims 70,000. "

Technology in schools

In this blog we are going to focus on technology in our life, and how it has and it's going to impact us. Technology has changed the way we live and that is a fact.  It has comfort has us and made our life easier then how they were hundred years ago. Everywhere we go technology will surround us. In our jobs, school, homes, streets, it's everywhere.The student teacher dynamic has changed a lot since the introduction of technology in class structure. The instructor is no longer the information but instead a middleman between information and student. Instead of a passive sponge soaking up knowledge, the student has now become an active informational building, re-arranging and displaying information.

Children are understanding concepts better.Their skills are improving.More than the teacher writing on the blackboard this system leaves behind a better impact on children of all age groups.The children enjoy learning like this as,it is not boring like the lessons learnt on blackboard. As all children like computers and latest technology,this way of teaching is really helpful.

Students become more involved in the process of education instead of the traditional roles students assumed which are sleeping in class. The teacher, instead of being the center of attention, becomes a facilitator, which by students learn using modern technology. While at the same time videos and games are being integrated into the lives and classrooms of new generations. Also the Internet itself has unlocked a new way of opportunity for students. Information and ideas that were previously out of reach are a click away. Students of all ages can connect, share, and learn on a global scale. Success at difficult technological tasks

I have done an Interview about my subject to see what someone else thought.

Q1. How has technology influenced your life?


“ It has changed my life dramatically, my smart phone has made my schedule way easier.”

Q2. Would you go back to a time before computers came out?


“Definitely not. My work has to be done by computer; if not I would have to write hundreds papers and kept up with them.”

Q3.  In your opinion, what will technology will release in the future?

“In the future I think a robot computer that you talk to and it will do what you need it to do.”

Q4.  How has technology impacted schools?


“Schools have changed their teaching styles, schools rely on the Internet and work online more than they do using book work.”

Q5.  Do you think schools should push technology into the student's life?


“ Yes that is exactly what they need to do; considering that technology is now a major role in society. I would educated kids to get them ready for the work field.”

Technology

Technology advantage.

available at,  http://technologyinventory.tumblr.com/

Technology is something we use in an everyday basis. This subject is excellent to blog about because technology is growing every day; everyday something new comes into the market. Many argue that as we dig bigger and deeper into the beginning of technology we would kill society, by losing culture and ultimately a sense of self. This could be true to a certain point, but realistically if we keep moving forward to progress we won’t be able to survive.


There are many examples of advantages, Technology has the ability to create shortcuts in working and can make tasks easier also. Solid examples are cars, calculators and phones, through technology life may be faster but is also easier. To make this point a fact,  was that diseases we have today would be and could have become epidemics, if it were not for technology being there in the field of medicine, medical advances would not have happened or would have come years later


Transportation man has come a long way from horses and trains to cars that talk to you. It took months to cross the Atlantic Ocean now it only takes a few hours, even if they add to the pollution to the population but these conveniences are still used no matter what, even if it’s slowly killing humans and the universe regardless.


Communication is another big advantage of technology. Back in the day it took hours for a horse to deliver mail, or a train that was power with fire and coal. Nowadays it is instantly the way you can contact somebody. We have many things to get communication across; we now use phones, texting, emails, and social networks.


With technology we enjoy fun and relaxing things such as movies, television, fresh food and refrigerators, ovens. With all this negative things come, but now that they are discovered nobody is going to stop doing/using them. Although there is a bad side, as we explore more we will have to overcome this issue, either by fixing it or leaving it behind.
