Internet is an important thing to have at college to use it, because it has an important feature of learning new skills. However there are lots of web sites to use while I am stuck on a piece of work. It gives you ideas how to work it out. It replaces libraries. Makes life easier for me and my educations and also can connect people at the same
time. The college experience is not only about learning in the classroom, it is also about encountering new social situations and gaining new social skills. I use the Internet nearly as much for social communication as I do for my education. But just as I use the Internet to supplement the formal parts of my education, I go online to enhance my social live. Of course, it is always possible to miss-use traditional library sources as well as Internet sources. The Internet has millions of sites with information on people, news, finances, places, history, entertainment and many hundreds of other topics. This information can be accessed from the Internet through a computer
For some reason, though, I had plenty of problems in this respect with Internet sources. This may be because Internet sources are seen as possessing more credibility than traditional sources, I have had trouble with this in the past are generally I waited until the last minute to do my research and haven't taken the time to evaluate my Internet sources while (before having Internet I researched in the library have generally started early enough that this hasn't been a problem for me). Whatever the reason, though, this has become a very serious problem for me in my courses using Internet sources in the papers. Internet makes me loose control, and not concentrate on my work that much, the simplest thing of gathering information on the net. There are lots of websites to cheat, cutting and pasting texts from a website and into a paper is effortless. Keeping me occupied something less important than work, such as chatting, online games etc. it could be harder for teachers to check whether the students spelling are right or not.
Using the internet can be fun, interesting, and convenient. You can find all kinds of information about music, movies, and almost anything else you can imagine. It's natural, then, that you will want to use the internet to find information for your researched essays. And there's nothing wrong with using the internet for research purposes. You just have to make sure that the information you find has credibility. Not all websites are created equal. The convenience of the Internet is becoming the real necessity in people's lives. Through marketing, companies have been able to pay people money to use their good or service via the Internet. By marketing the good or service as a way for people to make free money, companies have gained the attention anyone wanting more money, students, and advertisers. But is sometimes time consuming. Ways to make it easier includes: surfing the web, having an Internet start page, filling out surveys and giving opinions of products and services, and listening to music and so on. It must be the most important development for us students and definitely making things easier and faster also nearly used everywhere in the world. Things are going more precise. It will help us students with our works but it’s not good enough because sometimes libraries could be useful.

Category: PC Technology – Floppy disk
The floppy disk has a long in technology terms history. It first appeared on the high-technology in the form of a big, thin plastic disk in an eight-inch-square black. I used it at first time at home, for example. At the end of each day, you had to perform a complicated series of makeovers with the DEC system to back up the data. I hated handling the large disks, always worrying that I would accidentally bend one. It was not easy to carry it with you to anywhere you like because it was too big. It was only useful for home or businessmen. Later than that we used to call it a diskette as it got smaller, which evolved into 5.25 – inch disk held 360 kilobytes (KB).
Today, there are many different technologies smaller and easier to save your work and take it everywhere with me. Let’s say from eight-inch floppy disk drive it came to 3.5-inch drive. I have plenty of other methods for easily sharing data among PCs. The USB mass storage device. The smallest USB key has far greater capacity than a 1.44MB 3.5-inch disk, fits in a pocket, and works almost exactly like a disk drive. USB storage aside, desktop users have the option of burning data to CDs and DVDs readable by other computers. Both floppies and USB stick can record information instantly. Both can be erased and refused many times both are very inexpensive and easy to use. Most importantly they are portable for me.
In a few years later there will be a new version of floppy or not even a floppy disk, it may something small and thinner than a sim card that it’s available right now. Something that it may not even be able to put it in a hard drive disk or so on. It may have a bigger memory card. It will have a big memory. Plenty of spaces for saving works, photos, music etc.
Having a floppy disk is very useful and you can store little data’s in it. It’s very thin and small to put it in a pocket or in bags to carry. Floppy disk drives are available on most computers and for the reason are easy to transfer to another computer. They are completely accepted storage media. They are extremely portable. It’s an only useful for moving of files from computer to computer over a short amount of time without any additions. Most written documents and small photos can fit in to floppies and I can simply drag and drop files to it. The disks are cheap but their limited capacity makes them expensive and clumsy for larger backups. Almost all systems have a floppy drive.
Floppies are slow which tends to mean that some users don’t backup as often as they should. They are not very reliable. I should not really rely on a floppy as it only means of backup. Disks go bad; there are a lot of quality disks for sale which will increase my chance of losing data. While they are inexpensive they are easily can be
damaged and easy to lose if not maintained by the organisation. Some newer systems are being transferred without the floppy drive. Most people either have experienced or someone who has experienced information loss because of floppy disks failure.
In my opinion using a floppy disk is very portable and easy to carry it on with me. Its not expensive at all, in every computer stores is available. If I have spent any time at all working with a computer, then chances are good for me to use a floppy disk at some points. The floppy disk drive is very useful of adding data to a computer before the became popular. Basically, a floppy disk drive reads and writes data to small stuffs such as saving small pictures, works etc.

Category: PC Technology - Power Point
In the past, I used to present my projects or presentations by using overhead projectors, since there weren’t any computers or a so on or big paper which shows information or graphics about my work, and I was using lots of papers which was showing my work. If I compare with today’s presentations, most of them were boring; in addition I was not looking good as visual, since they were all black and white which were causing loss of people’s attention. Doing much work on papers, making notes on cards and read it loud, the audience, sometimes and the audience could not hear you properly so you had to read as loud as you can.
We are in 21st century and computers are used in all places, and in everywhere in the world I can use power point to present their works. Power point to me is a program which makes presentations looking better, efficient and easy to follow and mostly direct to the point. With power point I don’t need other external paper to use because it’s no needs, only on pc, by the help of a projector; it can be easily followed on a white screen. By power point by the help of visual aids like, pictures, graphics, videos, sound files etc. my presentation can be more effective, efficient and things can be told in less time without loosing the audience’s attention and also special effects can be added on writings to make presentations more enjoyable. Power point is also useful for my education which boosts my learning capabilities and trying to make me how to learn and study effectively with the slates.
Maybe in the future, 3D visual presentations can be done with a special device for each person so that they can choose the sections they would like to check, or re-hear again, or stop the presentation and letting the audience to show where there is a problem or misunderstanding by special device. It can import what you have created in other Microsoft products, such as Word and Excel into any of your slides. On the other hand, it could be able to use power point in mobile phones, or any other electrical stuffs.
The benefit of instruments like PowerPoint is that they produce an extremely readable document. Those of us who struggle with producing readable notes on the whiteboard often feel that PowerPoint is better because of this readable. This is especially true for hard to understand, diagrams and detailed information; PowerPoint can excel in such situations. You can impress your audience. Power Point helps to create exciting slide shows with graphics, animations, and multimedia and make them easier to present. The improved Slide Show mode makes it easier to give a presentation. Able to select from thousands of multimedia elements—including images, sounds, photos, and animations—to add impact to your presentations. Use high-quality custom animations in PowerPoint 2003 to make your presentations come alive. Create animation effects moving objects along a path (path animation), as well as easy sequencing for all of your animation effects. Using power point could be useful for multimedia for example to tell a story. Moreover marking up slides for example, adding notes and illustrations while giving your presentation. If you're using a Tablet PC, you can choose colours and pen types that can help make your comments stand out. Last thing, it is an excellent for photographs and diagrams, can be animated, can be shared electronically.
However, the ease of power point presentations can lead us into one of the dangers of this tool ‚ we become tempted as instructors to flip and stick. That is, we go through a huge number of slides very rapidly and assume that as we flip one off the screen and stick another one on, I somehow have magically understand the information that was presented fast there. One of the major students complaints with PowerPoint based lectures is that instructors cover material much too quickly, because they do not have to write it down. So, if you use it, be very careful about slow steps. However in the other ways it’s a lacks in, no persistence of information (only one board visible) Technological failures (no power, blown projector, etc.) May be presented too fast for students to make good use/notes If it’s used in appropriate way, it’s a powerful tool for education and business purposes. This makes audience to have a nice and pleasant way to listen and learn from the presentation. In a short way, PowerPoint is a powerful tool that in the right conditions can be an increase to my learning and other students. However, it’s not the right tool for all conditions, and should only be used when it clearly will add to mine or student learning.
Legalisation
Copyright material sent over the Internet or stored on web servers will generally be protected in the same way as material in other media. Nowadays teenagers download such material illegaly on internet and of recorded music in the form of or even downlaoding meterials such as games, music, movies etc. They should ensure that they have the permission of the owners of rights in the material. These documents may not be reproduced, stored in any form without permission from the owners, unless document must have been used for informational purposes only or the document that must have a copyright symbol. However, to download something it means you breaking the law but in some ways there is nothing wrong with downloading on the internet without permission because I believe that it is easier and inexpensive or should I say it’s for free for those who can not afford money to buy such materials as CD albums, DVD’s and so on.

Category: Entertainment – iPod
well without the iPod and various other one mp3 players there would not be portable players about like when using the walkman there is no selection or should I say wide range of selection of songs as the walkman only reduced you to listening to a certain amount of songs like 30 songs or so which was ebullient to a CD or a tape but since the iPod you can put a lot more tracks on and stuff and enjoy more wide range of music before the iPod I was basically reduced to what I listened to. I had to carry books with me and calendars, note books instead of a small thing like iPod.
I use iPod for saving my works, recording everything and listening to music on iPod it has a big memory card, which is about 20GB. It is a great way to transfer files from school computers to my home computer or anywhere in between. More than a music player, your iPod is a portable learning tool for dictation and sound recording, taking and reading notes, storing files and photos, and listening to audio books and newspapers. I would never think of that such a small device could have such a huge impact on our society. Transfer text-based information to my iPod and read it on screen. With the notes reader, news articles, classroom notes, even flash cards for spelling tests can be right at hand. I can even link audio files and notes files for enhanced audio/visual learning. Using my iPod audio files in photo, Movie HD, Tunes, and DVD projects is fast, easy, and fun. I can use my iPod audio files to make slideshow, soundtrack, and movie projects more effective. With , I can present slideshows in the classroom on video projectors, big-screen TVs, or monitors. Plus, upload photos directly from my camera using the optional iPod Camera Connector accessory.
well with the iPod due to the technology increasing the iPod could be a lot more than just listen to music and stuff the iPod may involve into a music player with a camera or other technology within the iPod so more people will have more use for the iPod more memory cud be developed so a greater amount of songs cud be put on therefore the camera maybe installed within it and various other new technology like TV etc. a smaller version and much more thinner than it is now, it could be like a sticker and could be stick to anywhere that it’s possible. The battery will last much longer than nowadays.
You can listen to various music it’s compatible as in shape as it’s slim and stuff. It’s a great way to transfer files from school computers to my home computer or anywhere in between. Just by connecting the iPod to a Mac or Windows-based PC, transfer files, and go. Loading files, photos, notes, and songs onto my iPod is easy. The possibility of extending the curriculum as access to information. Keep track of your schedule with i-Pod; it supports Calendar and Calendar files, which can be exported by Palm Desktop, and iCal. They are small and compact; all of the iPod models are a lot lighter than all those notepads, books, and papers. You’ll find that you can store hours of music, audio books, and lectures or weeks of language lessons, and you can even use my iPod to conveniently transfer my digital files from school to home and back. I can present slideshows in the classroom on video projectors, big-screen TVs, or monitors. Plus, upload photos directly from my camera using the optional iPod Camera Connector accessory.
It may be hard to use or download as the computer where you get the songs may not have the requirements. Batteries won’t last long and can’t connect internet to download music, read news etc. with so much music on there, shuffle never comes out quite right. Plus the iPod is too big to crashing from being shook up for my active lifestyle, and so I mainly only use it only trips these days. However in many reasons when you want to share personal notes, track small group discussions, or conduct interviews. Last but not least memory cards are very expensive and also it has black and white screen (but the colour iPod).
In my opinion I think that having an iPod is a useful thing and portable, you can carry it with you to everywhere and listen to numerous music while walking, in the bus, train etc. No matter which place or time, you can take that off and listen whatever you like to without disturbing anyone. This is long enough, because most of the tasks are very short and many are repeated until the new versions gets out. Last thing, the iPod’s batteries doesn’t last one and a half years before holding it last charge for five minutes. By using these facilities and it can carry on my work outside the house.
3a3 A Typical Teenager Outside The home
Category: communication - Mobile Phone
For a teenager like me was hard without a mobile phone. It was not that easy to reach friends or even family in emergency needed, not only for me it was hard to get in touch with them, it was the same problem for them as well. Everything was going slowly and wasting plenty of times and energy for not such a good reason. Sending letters to friends and sending pictures, it was taking time till they were getting the letter sometimes the message was over due. To contact friends I had to go out and use public phones while the home phone was busy. Wasting extra money only for passing a message to them. In the past time without having a mobile phone with you everywhere, it was inconvenient to get connected with someone as quick as possible. The easiest thing at this time was using fax to send messages easily. But nothing else only letters.
Today, millions of people using mobile phones nowadays. Depending on the mobile phone’s model, numerous kinds of operations can be done. Such as storing data information of people, making tasks and to do lists, keep it track of works and set reminders, use the built in calculators for simple mathematics and many more programs sending and receiving emails, sending short messages. At the same time I can use Internet for news, using GPRS for online games if possible. Moreover it is easier to reach people and no more of wasting times and energy to reach others or reaching me hardly. Cell phone is a wonderful invention for me. It is a popular communication tool. Nowadays I can’t even imagine of living without my mobile phone. It’s so convenient having my mobile phone in my pocket no matter where I go and what I do. I know that I always can get connected to people as quickly as possible if I need to.
In my opinion it will be popular in the future and it will be developed by engineers. Our life will get easy with new generation mobile phones. It will be smaller than its now. A brand new version of cell phones. It will bring lots of advantages for employers, students or even children. Big storages highly develop cameras going to be invented and going to make people’s life easier. This means products with a long battery life and large memories and services which are cost effective and easy to use. A mobile phone could be a small thing to put it in your ear every time, or it could be stocked with watches.
One of the main advantages of cell phone is that it is carried everywhere by us. So we can speak everywhere with mobile phone. Moreover, it has got a lot of features such as calculator, games etc. For example, when I’m bored, I use it for fun. In addition, it is used by me for important events. For example if I were stuck in a place I would use a mobile phone for help. On the other hand, I can use it for internet communication.
Any more, it is smaller than old phones and it has got more technological features For example, some mobile phones has got WAP feature. I can connect to internet and surf in the mobile phones with WAP. So I can do something’s with WAP such as shopping, banking operations and searching on the web.
The main disadvantage of mobile phone is that is damage human health. People were damaged by first mobile phone models. Moreover first model mobile phones haven’t got a hands free adapter so people drove their cars while they were calling or speaking with mobile phones. It was dangerous because, traffic accidents could happen. In addition, some people have been using their mobile phones in hospitals, cinemas and theatres. It is an irregular action. It is more likely lose my concentration on the road and have an accident, possibly resulting in the death of the driver, other road users or pedestrians. This is why a law has just been passed making it illegal to drive whilst talking on a mobile phone with out a hands free kit. It is not the traditional ones at home they need batteries and need to b charged hen needed, which can cause problem when they are over heated. It could be addicting in many ways, for example while studying, playing games and loosing control etc.
First of all in a good way using a mobile hone is a very important in our life. They help us to get closer to our friends and family and to get out of emergency situations.
In my opinion people use mobile phones because they gave him opportunities to communicate with others at any places and at anytime. I think that in rules it restricts mobile phone usage are inapplicable because they eliminate that opportunity. The best decision is to provide tools to make conversations more private and to keep the opportunity to use mobile phones everywhere. Secondly there are many things about mobile phones risks; it can damage brain by using it too much. Presently, some scientists have been discussing about mobile phone’s harms.
