Best Sites for Educational Documentaries

The websites they gave were great.  It had all types of documentaries for people who want to know information   It has weird conspiracies and information about the unknown like what would an animal look like deep in the ocean.  Watching these videos can improve a persons thinking skills.  Most likely they a false but they are reasonable documentaries.  They use information they have to create an idea that could possibly be true.

Major Concepts

• Documentaries are good ways to improve your critical thinking ability
• These sites make you think
• These conspiracy websites can be real or fake because no one knows for certain

Potential Strengths/Advantages

• People who are interested will set foot to create a documentary and discover something fantastic
• Documentaries will provide knowledge that you may never heard of but you will understand when watching the video and most likely never to forget

Potential Problems/Limitations/Disadvantages

• People will fight over who is right and who is wrong
• It will turn out to become like religion or goverment and people will side with what they believe

Discussion Questions

• I want to know what would be the next big documentary to happen that will give us shocking news
• Would someone do something crazy enough to discover a myth is true? Example loch ness, Cthulu etc.

Enhanced Voice Search Appears in IOS app store

Google has been competing with Apples voice over siri.  So they have released a more enhanced version that can respond better than siri.  Google is hoping for people to hop over on their side of products because they have created something better.  I think this is great that people are competing to create the best voice recognition command.  If this keeps up computers can talk like us humans.  Google and Apple are rivals because they want to be the successor of the opposing company.  In life the successful one makes all the money and in this case they all want money therefore they have to sell more products and to do that consumers have to buy their products.  But consumers will buy the better products because it can do better and they would want to have that.  So the majority of the consumers purchases is very vital in to becoming a successful company.

Major Concepts

• Technology will improve because of competition 
• Voice recognition is very helpful to do tasks by voice
• Humans will become a more advanced species

Potential Strengths/Advantages

• Voice command can allow physically disabled people to communicate and perform tasks
• Google is trying to make ideas so that everything can be easier and cheaper

Potential Problems/Limitations/Disadvantages

• More people will become lazy
• Can be used as a weapon
• Voice recognition may not be very accurate until later in the future

Discussion Questions

• I want to know whether or not would another company become big and go against all the best companies right now.
• If humans become lazy and use voice recognition for a million years will we lose our limbs?

History Of Smartphones

          For most people smartphones have been part of our lives for a very long time.  Why would we need the help of a smartphone you might ask?  Smartphones are useful in infinite ways and has helped me very much.  Smartphones help all types of people let's say you're a student like myself, smartphones are able to give you all your textbooks a calculator and even a sketch pad.  Smartphones keep track of your stuff while you can also be entertained by all the things smartphones have to offer.  

Major Concepts

• Smartphones have increased productivity hours in businesses because the smartphone makes it easier to work.
• Smartphones can be used as cameras too, to capture unsuspected events that you aren't prepared for.
• Smartphones are small and easy to carry so its very good for everyday use.

             Potential Strengths/Advantages

• The author has show that smartphones are developing and they are getting better in every year of production.
• When I was reading this article that the author wrote it made me think when is the last smartphone going to be made or will it keep getting better and better until the end of time or destruction of humanity.

Potential Problems/Limitations/Disadvantages

Halloween

My Summer Vacation

More Colors

Handouts is one way of educating students.  Most times the handouts are black and white.  A surveyed showed that students learn more focus more and have longer memory if the material they are working on is in color. About half in every subject the students agree that colored handouts would help them. Colors can be a very strong thing and it does many more things than just boost education.  Like in my last post it shows how different colors change people different ways.

I think colors in handouts boost students in their education is because school and learning can get very boring.  Having something interesting related to learning or something distracting from learning but not to distracting can make the class not as boring.  If schools see how colored handouts do they wouldn't mind extending the budget to have colored handouts.

Colours

There are certain colors that will change a person's activity.  I have read that having a certain color in a different room in the house.  The Office room's wall can be painted blue, Because it is the most productive color.  Bedroom can be painted green because its for tranquility and health.  Dining room red because it encourages appetite.  Many large organizations today follow these things.  Most Large Fast-food chain is red because it improves appetite.  Other companies such as at&t, Forbes, hospitals, and other blue because it improves productivity which means more work done.

This is very useful information because then it can solves some peoples problem like if your tired you can't relax you can have lavender because it will calm the nerves.  People that have a hard time eating can paint their walls red.  People who are very unproductive can paint their walls blue.  Just painting a wall a certain color can boost someone's motivation.

Virus Attacks

Computer virus can cause problems to our computer.  But why would they exist?  Computer viruses are made for Fun, Pranks, Vandalism etc and for program improvements.  People have been made viruses for the past two decades.  The first PC virus ever was created by two Pakistani brothers.  There are many types of viruses such as Trojan,Worm,etc.  Other reasons for viruses is for profit.  Millions of dollars were gained while using a virus that users download and the virus collects the credit card information.

I think people already know about viruses but they don't know the details.  This info graphic can give people information they need to understand more about viruses.  I would have thought that the people who steal credit cards made more money but then i realized that if they take small amounts from your bank you won't notice so they can take more from it later.  But if the hackers take a big chunk then you will surely notice and then the money will be canceled.  From this I do not know whether or not a anti virus program can protect my computer anymore since some viruses were made to make programs better.

iPad 3 under the microscope

The iPad 3 will have a resolution of 2048x1536 and that will make it the highest resolution tablet in the market today.  Everyday people are trying to improve the resolution on tablets and smart phones.  The pixels are getting smaller and smaller to expand the limits and give better graphics available.  Most of the other smart phones have small pixels anyway but they are on a smaller screen so it's not easy trying to make that into a bigger screen.  I think people buy smart phones because of the apps they have.  If there was no apps people would still be using phones with 50 pixels in a 1 by 2 inch screen.

I think that they will keep making smaller pixels to make bigger resolutions until someone comes up with a new way of displaying tablets.  Hopefully holographic visuals are coming soon.  Company will stop making higher resolution tablets when the rate of people buying drops a lot.  That will cause companies to invest more money in other ways of displaying tablets because people are like that, what they already have will be in their daily lives but if someone introduces a better product that will brighten up their day.

2012 Is Fake

Many people think 2012 is the end just because a Mayan calender ends at December 2012.  If a calendar stops at a point it does not mean the whole world is going to end.  There wasn't even a statement on the calender that says the world is going to end when our calendar ends.  People might have arguments over whether or not the world will end but it probalby won't.  The mayans are not alive today therefore there society are not as good as our society now.  The Mayans were very good with stars but it will be extremely hard to predict when the world act up and have everyone or most people killed.

I think it is stupid how people decide whether or not 2012 is real or not.  I personally think it won't because this is not the first time someone has said the world will end.  Even if you think it is real it's better to just keep it to yourself because if the world will end you would have suffered the last year of your life getting crap at because you thought it was real and most of the world thinks its fake so better be happy and die then to be humiliated and then have everything blow up.

Sleeping Better

People who sleep more are more productive and energized then someone without a good rest.  The average person needs 8 hours of sleep as soon as you get 8 hours that is the peak at where you can achieve to get fully concentrated.  It would seem that if you sleep at the same time and wake up at the same time everyday you will feel like it is easier to get out of bed and if you have been sleeping for 8 hours, you will wake up with no problems.  It is also seem to have been proven sleeping in one setting is better than taking many naps.  People should avoid caffeine after 6 hours before target sleep time because caffeine is suppose to be in our body for 6 hours.  Caffeine keeps us awake so we do not want that while we are trying to sleep.

I think these are really good tips but I see many people not following it just because they don't have enough encouragement to change their lifestyle.  It may be hard trying to sleep better but it will benefit your life in every way.  I have been trying to sleep better for awhile now and I have been moving slowly to the point where it is easy to sleep and not a hassle to wake up.  Changing your schedule slowly can give enough time to let your body adapt to the new timeline.  Sleeping is part of our life because one third of our life we were supposed to be sleeping.  Sleeping restoring our body and mind to its full potential to take on the next day in life.  Sleep better makes living life easier.

Music Up

Music has been part of my life and many other people's lives to because it has created emotions for us to feel.  Music is in every culture so no matter where your from or what language you speak everybody has heard music and most people enjoy it.  I think music should not be limited because of all the copy right going on.  I understand that some people can steal the music and tweak some things and say they made it.  But thats called remixing and the people who make profit from that without asking the originators should be able to steal their profit not take it down because the remix might be even better and many people might like it.

My favourite types of music are Pop, Hip-Hop, and electro.  I was a fan of Hip-Hop for a long time now and so have i been for electro.  I dont understand why suddenly electro has suddenly become popular because it has been around since 2001.  The first time i listend to electro is called Russian Lullaby by Butch clany this is considered dubstep but I think people call it that because not everyone likes the same type of electro music.

More ICT Assignments

Last week was my first time using Illustrator because I dont normally make paths from my pictures because i was taught to make my own path using Indesign which i got use to but now it is way easier just to put the picture in Illustrator and convert it into paths which can be moved to Indesign and Photoshop depending on what you are working with.

When I am in ICT class I tends to be very boring but its only like that if you make it feel boring.  You can only make it fun with your imagination to create weird stuff on the computer.  Last week I got better at using Indesign and photoshop.  I thought i was okay with photoshop and Indesign but i found out even more tricks on getting the job done.  So I'm assuming there will be more things that I will learn because there will be newer versions of photoshop and editing which creates infinite amounts of outcomes.

ICT Assignments

I learned about Indesign.  Indesign is a program used to publish books or anything related to publishing.  It is very useful for making menus which what we were doing as an assignment.  It can also be used to make yearbooks for schools which our school used to make their yearbooks.  Indesign makes it easy to build and create books,newspapers,yearbooks etc.  Without Indesign people are hopeless in creating books and they would probably be using something as old as a typewriter.

I like Indesign because it is very easy to use.  It doesn't take a long time to get use to.  The more you play around with it the better you are and the more you find out about Indesign.  Indesign is one of those programs where there are so many little tricks that you will only find out just by playing around with it because experimenting is the best way to use your imagination and have it a really nice project that you and others will like.

iPad 3 Rumors

The iPad 3 should be released early march since it was postponed from February.  The iPad 2 has been successful and they plan out for the iPad 3 to even be more successful.   They iPad 3 is supposedly to have a rear HD camera for face time features.  There is a possibility where it will turn out to be called the iPad 2s since the released iPhone 4s was to be called the iPhone 5.  So the iPad 3 was dated to be released in march but iPad 4 possibly in october.

I think that it's funny how this marketing system works and people fall for it.  Most people will buy all the latest apple products even though they are spending more than they have to.  Apple is so successful with it's sales because it has this smart procedure.  They create an iPod and sells it.  Then they make the iPod be able to call people called the iPhone and sell it for more money.  Then they tweak it and called it a revolutionairy phone and call it the iPhone 2 until they come up with something called an iPad which is a bigger iPod.  Then I would guess the iPad would be given a keyboard or the ability to call.  And people fall for this buying the products because they think it may help their life when it doesn't.

Computer Smarter Than You

Swedish researchers has created a AI of a computer with a 150 IQ.  The computer IQ is has been based off non verbal tests.  The computer can see and find patterns of certain images and some math equations.  The Swedish team of researchers are looking ways to make the computer think more human like.  They are trying to make the computer see patterns exactly how human sees patterns.  The program does not have answers or math equations to solve patterns.

I think this program is going to make alot of people more lazy about doing homework.  I do not think this will be released for everyones everyday use because it will cause problems for people being lazy.  I think this program will be used to make medicines or create math formulas that will change our lifestyle.  I think the program will be limited to certain people or not at all and then be destroyed by the government because they are always against things that make our lifes easier but have the government lose education.

Infographic Thinkers

Infographic thinking is what seems to be the future of passing along large amounts of information in a small or large picture.  It takes out the main points and put it on the picture while showing a very easy to read graph along with it.  It has lots of colours and shapes so that it doesn't look boring and that the viewers actually read the whole thing.  Nobody wants to read large amounts of text in a white box but most people would if that paragraph was spread out into main points and pictures were added to show support of the main idea.

I think infographics is a great idea for people who hate reading alot.  It would help me find the main points quicker and faster.  Getting information through infographics would make you have a different view on the subject you are reading about.  Maybe when your reading a paragraph you dont take it serious enough because you are bored but infographics can change on how you react to the information given to you whether it be sad happy fear etc.

Facebook uses HTML5 on iPhone

Facebook has just thought about having a HTML5 Facebook app for the iPhone when other people have already made a Facebook app that uses HTML5 and is faster.  Facebook wants to attract more people so they swap their theme to their original blue theme.  Android users have faster Facebook app than iPhone users.  People have complained about the lack of speed of Facebook on the iPhone.  Facebook HTML5 update for the iPhone is very late.

I wonder why Facebook only started to think about updating there Facebook app on the iPhone.  Since the Facebook app on the android has been already updated and is way faster then the Facebook app on the iPhone.  I think because building an app for an iPhone is more complicated and slow then making one on the android which was built for the app market.

'Chronicle,' 'Woman in Black' Crush Box Office With Surprisingly Strong Weekend

Fox spent about $12 million to make "Chronicle," a found footage action film about a group of high school friends who develop superpowers. CBS picked up domestic distribution rights for "The Woman in Black," about a young lawyer who travels to a remote village where he encounters the ghost of a scornful woman, for $3 million."Both pictures way overperformed, which is good for everybody," Chris Aronson, Fox's distribution chief, told TheWrap Sunday morning. "It's good for the business."  And he pointed out that both "Chronicle" and "Woman in Black" attracted the increasingly elusive under-25 moviegoer.

Razer Onza

The razer onza is a Xbox 360 controller that is able to play on the PC and the Xbox.  I have the tournament edition and it gives alot more stuff like stronger controller, Rubbery grip, and more buttons which is very usefull.
The buttons light up to so I like the lighting that they added to the controller.  The wire is braided which gives it a strong nice grip.  The usb is gold plated for better inserting the port because many people doesn't know that the steel gives it more conductivity.

Razer Megalodon

The razer megalodon is a headset with a microphone made for gaming.  It does 2.0 and 7.3 surround sound.  I also like the lighting on the headset.  The design is absolutely slick and its very comfortable when you put it on.
I bought this headphone a few months ago and the only problem I have with it ever is forgetting to pull my microphone down but that is just me being clumsy.  The wire is braided so its really strong and not that plastic wires this has a feel to it.

Razer Mamba

I have this mouse called the Razer Mamba 4g.  Its a very cool mouse.  Razer created this mouse for gaming.  I use it for gaming and everything else.  It is a wireless mouse it is one of the fastest wireless mouse because it plays like a wired mouse.  Most wireless mouse has a short delay in between movements and clicks which is very crucial to when gaming.  It goes up to 4800 DPI and you can customize the colour of the lights on the mouse which is one of the reason I prefer Razer's Products over many other companys.

Anonymous hacks facebook

Anonymous plans to DDoS attack Facebook.  A DDoS attack is when a large group of people constantly push buttons on their websites until it crashes or have been denied.  Anonymous is an unknown organization to stop SOPA and PIPA.  The DDoS attack on Facebook has been denied as in the procedure will not go on.  The MPAA ,RIAA and many more have been denied using this strategy.

I don't know why they planned to attack Facebook since Facebook is against SOPA and so is Google so it's weird how they even thought about attacking Facebook.  I don't know why anonymous is called anonymous instead of Guy Fawkes since he was the guy who killed himself for The British revolution.  The Anonymous mask should of been called the Guy Fawkes mask.

Google goes against SOPA

SOPA is a law that would censor most of the internet.  This law applies to the US only but it affects other countries because most websites are based in the US.  Many people is against SOPA right now but the law is not yet enforced.  Google wants to make their homepage relate to going against SOPA.  Google and a selected  other websites is going to go against this.  Other websites are to protest by shutting down their website for 1 day.

I think SOPA is stupid because then it would make the internet extremely boring and we would need to pay for what we got for free.  I think if this law passes everyone want and will protest against the US causing massive destruction to everything and everyone.  People will riot day and night just because the US is being stupid as always.

Apple's new iPoo Toilet

Milos Paripovic designed the iPoo Toilet with Apple concept.  He designed it to look like an apple product.  The seat of the toilet has an apple shape.  The colour of it has a really matte white colour to it.  The seating is the same material to make a Mac Book air.  The back of the toilet is like a curved apple leaf.  Its flushes by a button which uses electricity to pump the water instead of the usual water pump.


I think only crazy apple fans would buy this product.  Since I am assuming it will be extremely pricey.  I couldn't imagine someone spending thousands of baht on a toilet which might break after 4 to 5 years of use.  If I had the the money to buy one and thought about buying one it would be a real hassle to install it into my bathroom since everything has been built so perfectly in there.

Indoor Google Maps

Google has released a new feature called Indoor Maps.  It maps maps out Shopping malls and other high traffic areas.  So far it has mapped out most if not all of the casinos and shopping malls in Vegas and it has been extremely useful for Google maps users and even more for CES.  The official CES showroom floor has been all been mapped out by Indoor Maps.

I would think this is really useful for people in going out in Vegas.  Its a big place and you might not have been there often to remember where you are.  It would make alot of people try to obtain this gadget.  It would have been also very useful for me if they map out the shopping malls in Bangkok.  Unfortunately they don't but maybe in the future they might reconsider it since Thailand is a big place with money to take from.
